Penetration Tester (penetration-tester--plugin)

Security testing toolkit for web applications, dependencies, and source code. Three real scanners that wrap established tools (requests, bandit, pip-audit, npm audit) with unified reporting.

What It Does

Installation

/plugin install penetration-tester@claude-code-plugins-plus

Setup

Install Python dependencies:

bash scripts/setup_pentest_env.sh

Or with a virtual environment:

bash scripts/setup_pentest_env.sh --venv

Requires Python 3.9+. The setup script installs requests, bandit, and pip-audit, then verifies each tool works.

Quick Start

Check security headers on a URL:

> Check the security headers on https://example.com

Audit project dependencies:

> Audit the dependencies in this project for vulnerabilities

Scan code for security issues:

> Scan this codebase for hardcoded secrets and security issues

Full security audit:

> Run a full security audit on this project

Scanners

security_scanner.py

HTTP security analysis for live web applications.

python3 scripts/security_scanner.py https://example.com
python3 scripts/security_scanner.py https://example.com --checks headers,ssl
python3 scripts/security_scanner.py https://example.com --output report.json

Checks:

• Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
• SSL/TLS certificate validity and expiry
• Exposed endpoints (.git, .env, admin panels, server-status)
• Dangerous HTTP methods (PUT, DELETE, TRACE)
• CORS misconfigurations (wildcard, reflected origin)

dependency_auditor.py

Unified dependency vulnerability scanner.

python3 scripts/dependency_auditor.py /path/to/project
python3 scripts/dependency_auditor.py . --min-severity high
python3 scripts/dependency_auditor.py . --scanners npm,pip --output findings.json

Supports:

• npm projects (via npm audit)
• Python projects (via pip-audit)
• Auto-detects project type from manifest files

code_security_scanner.py

Static analysis for security vulnerabilities.

python3 scripts/code_security_scanner.py /path/to/code
python3 scripts/code_security_scanner.py . --tools bandit,regex --severity high
python3 scripts/code_security_scanner.py . --exclude "test_*,*_test.py"

Detects:

• Hardcoded secrets (API keys, AWS keys, passwords, tokens)
• SQL injection (string concatenation in queries)
• Command injection (os.system, subprocess with shell=True)
• Eval/exec usage
• Insecure deserialization (pickle, unsafe YAML loading)
• Weak cryptography (MD5, SHA1)
• Disabled SSL verification

Output

All scanners produce:

• Markdown-formatted reports for terminal display
• JSON reports via --output for programmatic use
• Risk scoring with severity levels (critical, high, medium, low, info)
• Remediation guidance for each finding

Exit code 0 means no critical or high findings. Exit code 1 means issues found.

Reference Documentation

The references/ directory contains detailed guides:

• OWASP_TOP_10.md -- Each OWASP Top 10 risk with scanner mapping and fix templates
• SECURITY_HEADERS.md -- HTTP header implementation for Express, Django, Nginx, Apache
• REMEDIATION_PLAYBOOK.md -- Copy-paste fix templates for common vulnerabilities

Authorization Warning

Only test systems you are authorized to test.

• Never scan URLs you do not own or have written permission to test
• Local code scanning and dependency auditing of your own projects is always safe
• The scanners will ask for authorization confirmation before external scans
• Unauthorized security testing may violate laws in your jurisdiction

Commands

• /pentest -- Full security testing workflow with authorization checks
• /scan-headers -- Quick security header check for a single URL

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• requests >= 2.31.0
• bandit >= 1.7.5 (optional, for code scanning)
• pip-audit >= 2.6.0 (optional, for Python dependency auditing)
• npm (optional, for JavaScript dependency auditing)
