Hi Hagopian,
thanks very much for creating the list of essential tools.

In relation to your question about the tools that are not in BackBox, I'd like to remind you that BackBox doesn't have them most likely because the 3 following reasons:

  - they are likely duplicates (there should some other tools with similar functionalities)
  - they are likely not kept up to date (we don't want tools with uncertain development future/releases)
  - they are likely commercial tools (backbox is free open source only and we don't include any commercial solutions)

however, if one wants to have them all in BB, nothing will stop you ind doing that.

cheers
