  6. Proficiency in using cutting-edge penetration testing tools and frameworks (e.g., Burp Suite Professional, Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, SoapUI/Postman/ReadyAPI).
  7. Strong understanding of programming and scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) to automate testing processes and develop custom scripts tailored to client's specific needs is a plus.
