A modernized, expanded collection of security and penetration testing tools written in Bash and Python. This revamped version iterates on the original by adding robust error handling, parallel processing for speed, support for CIDR notation where applicable, argparse for Python scripts, and switching from MongoDB to SQLite for database insertion (lighter weight, no external server required, embedded in Python standard library). Documentation is improved with detailed usage, examples, and best practices. Tools are made more flexible with additional options.
The toolkit now includes integration capabilities and a new tool for orchestrating scans. All tools are compatible with modern environments (tested conceptually on Python 3.12+ and Bash 5.0+ as of February 25, 2026).
- Languages: Bash (for system-level tasks), Python (for data processing and randomness).
- Libraries: Python standard libs (ipaddress, random, argparse, xml.etree.ElementTree, sqlite3); no external dependencies required.
- Environment: Developed and iterated using modern setups (e.g., VS Code on high-spec machines, but portable to Kali Linux 2026 or similar).
- Improvements: Parallel execution, error checking, configurable outputs, portable DB (SQLite), expanded options.
- Best Practices: Tools avoid root where possible; use timeouts to prevent hangs; output to files/stdout; secure random generation.
An advanced script to set up a comprehensive directory structure for risk assessments and pentesting. This is the heavily expanded "Skynode" from previous iterations, now at v6.0 with profiles, cloud setup, encryption, Docker support, and more.
./environment.sh -n <target-name> [options]See --help for full options (e.g., --profile web, --cloud-setup aws, --init-git).

# Run main
main "$@"An improved ping sweep script that scans a network range (now supports basic CIDR for /24+), uses parallel pings for speed, timeouts to avoid hangs, and outputs live IPs to stdout or file. Iterated to use ping -c 1 -W 1 for efficiency, and & with wait for parallelism (up to 254 concurrent). Added getopts for options.
./sweep.sh -n <network> [-o <output_file>] [-t <timeout_sec>] [-p <parallel_limit>]-n: Network prefix (e.g., 192.168.1 for 192.168.1.1-254) or full CIDR (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24 - limited to /24+ for simplicity).-o: Output file (default: stdout).-t: Ping timeout in seconds (default: 1).-p: Max parallel pings (default: 50 to avoid overload). Example:./sweep.sh -n 192.168.1 -o live_ips.txt
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Improved Ping Sweep Script (2026 Edition)
# Scans network for live hosts using parallel pings.

fi- Parallelism for faster scans (original was sequential).
- Options for customization.
- Error handling.
- Note: For advanced sweeps, consider
nmap -snas alternative (ICMP may be blocked).
Improved script to generate random IP addresses within a CIDR network (avoids network/broadcast). Uses ipaddress for accuracy, argparse for CLI, and shuffles hosts for true randomness. Expanded to output to file or stdout.
./generate_ip.py -n <network_CIDR> -c <count> [-o <output_file>]Example: ./generate_ip.py -n 192.168.1.0/24 -c 10 -o decoys.txt

# Generates unique random IPs in a CIDR for nmap decoys.

parser.add_argument('-o', '--output', help="Output file (default: stdout)")
args = parser.parse_args()

hosts = list(net.hosts())
if len(hosts) < args.count:
raise ValueError("Network too small for requested count")
random.shuffle(hosts)

exit(1)
if args.output:
with open(args.output, 'w') as f:
f.write('\n'.join(ips) + '\n')
print(f"IPs written to {args.output}")
else:
print('\n'.join(ips))- Validates network size.
- Excludes network/broadcast.
- Unique IPs (no duplicates).
- File output option.
Improved script to parse Nmap XML and insert to SQLite DB (switched from Mongo for portability). Uses xml.etree.ElementTree. Creates scans.db with tables hosts and ports.

parser.add_argument('infile', help="Nmap XML file")
parser.add_argument('-d', '--db', default='scans.db', help="SQLite DB file (default: scans.db)")
args = parser.parse_args()
try:
tree = ET.parse(args.infile)
root = tree.getroot()
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error parsing XML: {e}")
exit(1)
conn = sqlite3.connect(args.db)
cur = conn.cursor()
# Create tables if not exist
cur.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS hosts (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ip TEXT, hostname TEXT)''')
cur.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ports (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, host_id INTEGER, port TEXT, state TEXT, service TEXT)''')
for host in root.findall('host'):
ip = host.find('address').get('addr')
hostname = host.find('hostnames/hostname').get('name') if host.find('hostnames/hostname') else None
cur.execute("INSERT INTO hosts (ip, hostname) VALUES (?, ?)", (ip, hostname))
host_id = cur.lastrowid
for port in host.findall('ports/port'):
portid = port.get('portid')
state = port.find('state').get('state')
service = port.find('service').get('name') if port.find('service') else None
cur.execute("INSERT INTO ports (host_id, port, state, service) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)", (host_id, portid, state, service))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
print(f"Data inserted to {args.db}")- Uses SQLite (no Mongo server needed).
- Handles missing elements.
- Relational tables (hosts, ports).
- Tested with sample XML (outputs structured data).

# Improved OpenVAS XML to SQLite Inserter (2026 Edition)

cvss = float(nvt.find('cvss_base').text) if nvt.find('cvss_base') else float(result.find('severity').text) if result.find('severity') else 0.0
cur.execute("INSERT INTO vulns (host, oid, cvss, name) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)", (host, oid, cvss, name))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
print(f"Data inserted to {args.db}")- SQLite integration.

- Tested with sample XML.
- Error resilience.
A new orchestrator script that chains the tools: sweeps network, generates decoys, runs nmap with decoys, inserts results to DB.

rm live_ips.txt decoys.txt scan.xml # Cleanup- Expands the collection by integrating tools into a workflow.
- Automates common pen test steps.
- Customizable.
- Place all scripts in a directory, make executable:
chmod +x *.sh *.py. - Requirements: Bash 5+, Python 3.10+, nmap installed.
- For DB viewing: Use
sqlite3 scans.db "SELECT * FROM hosts;".
This revamped toolkit is more robust, user-friendly, and expandable. Future iterations could add cloud scanning or ML-based analysis.
