| Summary: | This thesis explores the integration of the OpenVAS tool into an existing penetration testing suite named Huntdown. Huntdown, designed to streamline and enhance the penetration testing process, offers a comprehensive user interface that consolidates various penetration testing tools and options. The primary objective of this project is to incorporate OpenVAS, a powerful vulnerability scanner, into Huntdown’s framework to provide pentesters with an efficient and unified tool for conducting security assessments. The integration aims to simplify the user experience by embedding OpenVAS’s functionalities within Huntdown’s intuitive interface, allowing for seamless access to vulnera bility scanning alongside other testing tools. This enhancement is expected to reduce the complexity and increase the efficiency of penetration testing workflows, enabling security professionals to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities more effectively. The thesis details the technical challenges encountered during the integration process, the solutions implemented to overcome these challenges, and the resulting improvements in usability and functionality of the Huntdown tool. Through this integration, Huntdown evolves into a more robust and versatile platform, offering pentesters an enhanced suite of tools to conduct thorough and efficient security assessments. |
