OWASP Pyttacker Project

The OWASP Pyttacker Project is a portable Web Server that include the features needed for every Pentester when creating reports, helping to create PoCs that show a more descriptive way to create awareness to the businesses by demonstrating realistic but inoffensive "attacks" included as part of the tool.

Introduction

Most of the time is spent on finding the bad stuff during a Web PenTest, reports are time consuming and you need to deliver your results as soon as possible, however in the end the one that will need to fix the issue (or push others to do it) will need to really understand the impact of the findings included in a report. When you show raw Database data from a SQLi it's very visible for your costumer that the impact is High, however when the finding need some other factors the impact become more complicated to be demonstrated to non technical people, just a request and response is not enough and how long are you willing to take in order to create a nice screenshot for being included in your report.

What about using "something" that is the server you mention as 'evil.com' that can be used by the bad guys against your costumer's company, even better if you know that the evil server is not that "evil" and you can validate, modify or disable it's contents, would be nice to have "something" for creating nice screen-shots, what about reproducing the finding during that meeting when your are trying to show the impact of your findings, not just a pop-up alert for XSS, what if you show an inoffensive but scaring partial defacement or a javascript keylogger in action.

If you agree then Pyttacker will be an interesting tool for you

"First Alpha version is ready but need more development time for including features that can be delegated to newcomers since the project is module based. The First Beta release is intended to be published on June 2014 including the PoC modules for CSRF, XSS, Open Redirect, XFS Next Steps:

  1. Add more PoC modules for more Vulnerabilities
  2. Add integration with tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite"
