Provide a useful description for SPARTA. 
SPARTA is not really its own tool, it's more like a meta-tool. There are
many "network infrastructure penetration testing tools" on this list,
but what does SPARTA actually do that these other tools don't? The
answer is primarily that SPARTA is a GUI wrapper around arbitrary
command lines with some additional logic to identify results from
well-known tools such as `nmap` and trigger actions based on those
results in other tools. Let's make that clear in the item's description.
