Do Apps Help You Or Not? - Enigma_mybb_import12474 - 06-17-2013
I just want your opinion on this:
Do Apps help you or just waste your time?
Honest and open opinions, please.

Uh, what do you mean by Apps? I mean like whats the point of a computer or smartphone/device that has no applications? So no... applications dont waste my time. They get put to good use as they were designed to do.

If you are referring to application softwares, what is the use of an OS without any applications?
If you are referring to hacking applications specifically, yes. They do help you out to a great extent. You make them yourself or download a trusted one from internet, it would save you time and pain of doing many things manually.
Cheers

Yes they help
if they don't (waste of time) we just delete them.

If apps were useless, people like me would be left unemployed. ;p

If it makes things faster and more efficient then hell yes! However, if you keep using tools you don't truely learn how to hack so lately I've been trying to do everything manually if possible. I can happily say its been doing me well.

Applications are a necessity.
Without applications, regardless of what purpose or operating system they are built for, are a must for any IT related field if that field is to prosper by the very definition of "application".
Were it otherwise, a superior invention would hold sway over the very applications made for and in this day and age.

I think it depends.. Tools should not be a replacement for the understanding of the manual approach. If you only know the tool but does not know the manual approach the tool/app may slow you down or stop you completely.
I've had a few situations where sqlmap hasn't been able to extract any data. But when I've then approached the target manually I've been able to extract what I needed

Agreed.
Yet tools/applications are an absolute necessity to accomplish the desired affect as it pertains to the IT Industry.

That is very true. With today's deadlines and bosses / clients who think's that with enough yelling you can get 14 days of work done in 7 those tools are absolutely a necessity
