Pentest Machine – Automates Some Pentest Jobs Via Nmap xml File

Pentest Machine automates some pentesting work via an nmap XML file. As soon as each command finishes it writes its output to the terminal and the files in output-by-service/ and output-by-host/. Runs fast-returning commands first. Please send me protocols/commands/options that you would like to see included.

Pentest Machine Installation

./setup.sh
source pm/bin/activate

Pentest Machine Usage

Read from Nmap XML file

sudo ./pentest-machine -x nmapfile.xml

Perform an Nmap scan with a hostlist then use those results The Nmap scan will do the top 1000 TCP ports and the top 100 UDP ports along with service enumeration It will save as pm-nmap.[xml/nmap/gnmap] in the current working directory

sudo ./pentest-machine -l hostlist.txt

Skip the patator bruteforcing and all SIP and HTTP commands -s parameter can skip both command names as well as protocol names

sudo ./pentest-machine -s patator,sip,http -x nmapfile.xml
