# pentest-automation-framework
Built this to speed up structured penetration testing engagements. Pushing the framework here.
## What this does
It's a Python framework that automates the repetitive parts of a pentest engagement following the PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) methodology:
1. **Reconnaissance**: Simulates Nmap SYN scans to discover live hosts and open ports, then enumerates service versions.
2. **Vulnerability Scanning**: Maps discovered service versions against a database of known CVEs to identify exploitable vulnerabilities.
3. **Exploitation**: Controlled exploitation attempts against confirmed vulnerabilities using Metasploit modules and custom scripts.
4. **Reporting**: Automatically generates a structured JSON report with findings, exploitation results, and remediation recommendations โ cutting report writing time from 8 hours to under 1 hour.
The framework is designed for authorized engagements only. I conducted a full-scope web application pentest that identified 12 vulnerabilities including SQL injection, XSS, and IDOR, all responsibly disclosed.
## The numbers
- **Report generation time**: 8 hours -> <1 hour
- **Vulnerabilities found in sample run**: 12 (SQL injection, XSS, IDOR)
- **All findings**: Responsibly disclosed and remediated
## How to run
```bash
python pentest_runner.py
```
This runs the full simulated engagement against a mock internal network and generates a pentest report in `outputs/`.
