Rawlplugs
When I moved in with my girlfriend (later to become my wife) she taught me about rawlplugs. Being taught by a lady hurt my masculinity a wee bit but she did have a point. Before that time I had always used nails to attach stuff to brick or concrete walls, usually destroying either the nail or the wall, occasionally both.
Oddly, I never questioned the validity of my approach back in the nails-on-concrete era. I was the Destroyer of Walls.
These days I use rawlplugs.

If you're still not using a drill then that would make you a god amongst men if you managed to get it to work even ONCE.

You can buy masonry nails
they are extra hard and work quite well.
