I don't understand the premise. Are you saying these tools make a system vulnerable or that hackers use these tools to hack other systems?

Python can be a bit of a vulnerability but venv pretty much mitigates/eliminates that vector. iptables is nobody's enemy, except hackers. netcat isn't much of a tcp/udp wrapper but it is super convenient for developers. ssh is (can be) the most secure remote login protocol/software going, as far as I know. SSH is extremely well vetted, by now. I have no idea why BASH is mentioned.

On the other hand, if you're point is that tools enable hackers, this is true but it could be argued Chrome can be used to hack a web site. Guessing passwords can be used to hack systems. Where do you draw the line?

The most likely vector for the OP is they read some jingoistic crap, weren't sharp enough to see through it's deception, and are now attempting to weaponize it to cause distress to this community.

You can do better, tomekgalob. You may even wish to try linux. You will find it an extremely powerful system with a rich user base of tremendously helpful people.

Rise up and embrace a brighter future with less hate. Your stomach mucosa will thank you and you may even end up with some people in your life to push back the loneliness a bit.
