Legion – Semi-Automated Network Penetration Testing Framework
Legion, a fork of SECFORCE’s Sparta, is an open source, easy-to-use, super-extensible and semi-automated network penetration testing framework that aids in discovery, reconnaissance and exploitation of information systems. Legion is developed and maintained by GoVanguard.
Features
- Automatic recon and scanning with NMAP, whataweb, nikto, Vulners, Hydra, SMBenum, dirbuster, sslyzer, webslayer and more (with almost 100 auto-scheduled scripts)
- Easy to use graphical interface with rich context menus and panels that allow pentesters to quickly find and exploit attack vectors on hosts
- Modular functionality allows users to easily customize Legion and automatically call their own scripts/tools
- Highly customizable stage scanning for ninja-like IPS evasion
- Automatic detection of CPEs (Common Platform Enumeration) and CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)
- Realtime autosaving of project results and tasks
Notable changes from Sparta
- Refactored from Python 2.7 to Python 3.6 and the elimination of depreciated and unmaintained libraries
- Upgraded to PyQT5, increased responsiveness, less buggy, more intuitive GUI that includes features like:
- Task completion estimates
- 1-Click scan lists of ips, hostnames and CIDR subnets
- Ability to purge results, rescan hosts and delete hosts
- Granual NMAP scanning options
- Support for hostname resolution and scanning of vhosts/sni hosts
- Revise process queuing and execution routines for increased app reliability and performance
- Simplification of installation with dependency resolution and installation routines
- Realtime project autosaving so in the event some goes wrong, you will not loose any progress!
- Docker container deployment option
- Supported by a highly active development team
