Pollenisator : Collaborative Pentest Tool With Highly Customizable Tools

Pollenisator is a tool aiming to assist pentesters and auditor automating the use of some tools/scripts and keep track of them.

  • Written in python 3
  • Provides a modelisation of “pentest objects” : Scope, Hosts, Ports, Commands, Tools etc.
  • Tools/scripts are separated into 4 categories : wave, Network/domain, IP, Port
  • Objects are stored in a NoSQL DB (Mongo)
  • Keep links between them to allow queries
  • Objects can be created through parsers / manual input
  • Business logic can be implemented (auto vuln referencing, item triggers, etc.)
  • Many tools/scripts launch conditions are availiable to avoid overloading the target or the scanner.
  • A GUI based on tcl/tk

Setup Guide

Lexic

  • Worker : A worker is a docker / computer where all the tools you want to run are installed. Those worker will launch them on the target and send the resulting data to the server. The name ‘worker’ comes from the use of celery for this part.
  • Server : The server is just a mongo database and a SFTP server. Datas are stored in the database and files are kept in the SFTP directory.
  • Client : A client is an instance of pollenisator.py. It interacts with the server to launch tools and get data.

Architecture Overview

There can be 1 or + workers, 1 or + pollenisator client and 1 mongo back end The mongo database and sftp server can be setup with docker or manually installed on windows/linux (linux recommanded)

Worker(s) will run the commands in the queue. You can install the tools you want and do some configuration or use the docker file given.

Pollenisator client will check what command are ready to fire accordingly to a bunch of settings and present to everyone connected the results of the scans.
