Overview

OWASP Nettacker project was created to automate information gathering, vulnerability scanning and in general to aid penetration testing engagements. Nettacker is able to run various scans using a variety of methods and generate scan reports(in HTML/TXT/JSON/CSV format) for applications and networks, including discovering open ports, services, bugs, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, default credentials, subdomains, etc. Nettacker can be run as a command-line utility (including running as a Docker container), API, Web GUI mode

OWASP Nettacker's modular architecture is one of its core strengths, allowing users to perform specific tasks by leveraging a range of pre-built and customizable modules.

By leveraging a modular framework, Nettacker supports multiple protocols and scanning methods, making it highly adaptable to various security testing scenarios.

OWASP Nettacker is written in 100% Python and does not rely on launching any external tools.

OWASP Nettacker can also help you find instances of critically vulnerable MOVEit Transfer, Citrix Netscaler, Ivanti ICS/EPMM/vTM/CSA services and other CISA KEV vulnerabilities in your network as well as help build your asset inventory.
