Note: Below are the only tools which are installed by default in PentestBox. But you can also install other tools through ToolsManager. To know the list of tools which can be installed through ToolsManager, visit modules.pentestbox.org .
Welcome to the PentestBox Tool List Website! Here you will find a list of the tools which are inside PentestBox and how to use them.
You can see the list of a particular category using the left sidebar.
Let's say you want to use SQLMap, you can see it's description below on the Web Application Scanner Section and you will find something like given below
The console above with sqlmap in it tells that if you need to use SQLmap then sqlmap is the alias for it.
If you are not aware about the tool and it's functions then type something like sqlmap -h on console, it will display all the possible functions of that tool, sqlmap in our case.
To keep everything in short, there's only the aliases of a tool below their name.
I hope you will enjoy using PentestBox :)

Nmap - Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).

It differs from brute force hash crackers.A brute force hash cracker generate all possible plaintexts and compute the corresponding hashes on the fly, then compare the hashes with the hash to be cracked. Once a match is found, the plaintext is found. If all possible plaintexts are tested and no match is found, the plaintext is not found. With this type of hash cracking, all intermediate computation results are discarded.
