Legion : An Open Source, Easy-To-Use, Super-extensible & Semi-Automated Network Penetration Testing Tool

Legion, a fork of SECFORCE’s Sparta, is an open source, easy-to-use, super-extensible and semi-automated network penetration testing framework that aids in discovery, reconnaissance and exploitation of information systems.

FEATURES

  • Automatic recon and scanning with NMAP, whataweb, nikto, Vulners, Hydra, SMBenum, dirbuster, sslyzer, webslayer and more (with almost 100 auto-scheduled scripts)
  • Easy to use graphical interface with rich context menus and panels that allow pentesters to quickly find and exploit attack vectors on hosts
  • Modular functionality allows users to easily customize Legion and automatically call their own scripts/tools
  • Highly customizable stage scanning for ninja-like IPS evasion
  • Automatic detection of CPEs (Common Platform Enumeration) and CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)
  • Realtime autosaving of project results and tasks

    • Task completion estimates
    • 1-Click scan lists of ips, hostnames and CIDR subnets
    • Ability to purge results, rescan hosts and delete hosts
    • Granual NMAP scanning options
  • Support for hostname resolution and scanning of vhosts/sni hosts
  • Revise process queuing and execution routines for increased app reliability and performance
  • Simplification of installation with dependency resolution and installation routines
  • Realtime project autosaving so in the event some goes wrong, you will not loose any progress!
  • Docker container deployment option
  • Supported by a highly active development team
