Automated pentesting?

This reddit post about this got me thinking about this.

Anybody here have any neat automated setups to share?

Tempted to set something up on a VPS that regularly hits my home static IP...assuming I can get that VPS ToS approved lol.

  • I'm 90% sure this ain't a blackhat forum and that your not allowed the discuss this here....

  • what james said, I also would love to have a VPS that is able to portscan MY servers but it's probably a pipe dream...

    Contribute your idling VPS/dedi (link), Android (link) or iOS (link) devices to medical research

    What exactly is the use case of this? Do you expect your firewall/IPS's config to change? Are you trying to make sure no one exposes any services publicly? Both those should be handled by properly setting up your router/fw.

    The problem with pentesting is that it is limited to the constraints in which you're testing, and therefore is rarely comprehensive of any potential issues.

    It would be blackhat if he was scanning other peoples IPs.

    I interpreted their statement more along the lines of vulnerability testing - looking for exposed services with known exploits, etc... Something along the lines of Nessus.
