What it does

This skill should be used when the user asks to "run pentest commands", "scan with nmap", "use metasploit exploits", "crack passwords with hydra or john", "scan web vulnerabilities with nikto", "enumerate networks", or needs essential penetration testing command references.

Pentest Commands

Purpose

Provide a comprehensive command reference for penetration testing tools including network scanning, exploitation, password cracking, and web application testing. Enable quick command lookup during security assessments.

Inputs/Prerequisites

  • Kali Linux or penetration testing distribution
  • Target IP addresses with authorization
  • Wordlists for brute forcing
  • Network access to target systems
  • Basic understanding of tool syntax

Outputs/Deliverables

  • Network enumeration results
  • Identified vulnerabilities
  • Exploitation payloads
  • Cracked credentials
  • Web vulnerability findings

Core Workflow

1. Nmap Commands

Host Discovery:

# Ping sweep
nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

# List IPs without scanning
nmap -sL 192.168.1.0/24

# Ping scan (host discovery)
nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24

Port Scanning:

# TCP SYN scan (stealth)
nmap -sS 192.168.1.1

# Full TCP connect scan
nmap -sT 192.168.1.1

# UDP scan
nmap -sU 192.168.1.1

# All ports (1-65535)
nmap -p- 192.168.1.1

# Specific ports
nmap -p 22,80,443 192.168.1.1

Service Detection:

# Service versions
nmap -sV 192.168.1.1

# OS detection
nmap -O 192.168.1.1

# Comprehensive scan
nmap -A 192.168.1.1

# Skip host discovery
nmap -Pn 192.168.1.1

NSE Scripts:

# Vulnerability scan
nmap --script vuln 192.168.1.1

# SMB enumeration
nmap --script smb-enum-shares -p 445 192.168.1.1

# HTTP enumeration
nmap --script http-enum -p 80 192.168.1.1

# Check EternalBlue
nmap --script smb-vuln-ms17-010 192.168.1.1

# Check MS08-067
nmap --script smb-vuln-ms08-067 192.168.1.1

# SSH brute force
nmap --script ssh-brute -p 22 192.168.1.1

# FTP anonymous
nmap --script ftp-anon 192.168.1.1

# DNS brute force
nmap --script dns-brute 192.168.1.1

# HTTP methods
nmap -p80 --script http-methods 192.168.1.1

# HTTP headers
nmap -p80 --script http-headers 192.168.1.1

# SQL injection check
nmap --script http-sql-injection -p 80 192.168.1.1
