Pentestly is a combination of expanding Python tools for use in penetration tests. The goal is to utilize a familiar user interface while making contributions to the framework easy with the power of Python.

Author: @ctfhacker / Cory Duplantis
- Import NMAP XML
- Test SMB authentication using:
- individual credentials
- file containing credentials
- null credentials
- NTLM hash
- Test local administrator privileges for successful SMB authentication
- Identify readable SMB shares for valid credentials
- Store Domain/Enterprise Admin account names
- Determine location of running Domain Admin processes
- Determine systems of logged in Domain Admins
- Execute Powershell commands in memory and exfil results
- Execute Mimikatz to gather plaintext password from memory (Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1)
- Receive a command shell (Powercat)
- Receive a meterpreter session (Invoke-Shellcode.ps1)
Pentestly stands on the shoulders of giants. Below are the current tools utilized in Pentestly:
-
recon-ng - Backend database for recon-ng is beautifully made and leveraged in Pentestly for data manipulation
-
wmiexec.py - Allows us to execute Powershell commands quickly and easily via WMI
-
smbmap.py - Useful utility for enumerating SMB shares
-
Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1 - Implementation of Mimikatz in Powershell
-
powercat.ps1 - Netcat-esque functionality in Powershell
-
Invoke-Shellcode.ps1 - Deploy Meterpreter in Powershell
-
CrackMapExec - Source of inspiration for the simple Mimikatz server in Pentestly

Creating new modules is easy in Pentestly. Begin with the code provided in skeleton.py:
from libs.pentestlymodule import PentestlyModule
class Module(PentestlyModule):
meta = {
'name': 'Your module name goes here',
'author': 'Developer name goes here',
'description': 'Description of the module goes here',
'query': 'SQL QUERY whose result is passed to your module',
'options': (
('Option1', 'Default Value', Required-True/False, 'Description of option'),
),
}
def module_pre(self):
# Optional
# Happens before your module
def module_run(self, data):
# Required
# data is the result from the SQL query set in the options
### Few magic functions
# self.query - Perform an SQL query on the internal database
results = self.query("select * from pentestly_creds")
# self.output - print default information to the user
self.output("Performed an SQL query")
self.output(results)
# self.alert - print successful message to the user
self.success("Yay! We performed successful work")
def module_post(self):
# Optional
# Happens after your module
The key points here are to fill the meta dict with the corresponding information as well as the module_run function for module functionality.
This script is then placed in the modules/ folder or in your personal ~/.pentestly/modules folder for portability.
Stay tuned for a detailed example script explanation in the coming weeks.
- Implement
secretsdump.pymodule - Add utility functions for database queries similar to
creds,services - Rework draw_table function to have fixed width columns
- Import credentials from Gladius
- Implement GPP password search and decrypt module
- Look into utilizing Invoke-Shellcode
