Pentest-Tools

Let's get FAQ-tual.

You've got questions, we've got answers (and we don't sugarcoat them).
We created a place where you'll find the specific details you need to decide if Pentest-Tools.com is the right fit for your workflow.

Here are some important examples:

1️⃣ Is this just a wrapper for open-source tools? - Short answer: No. We build our own detection engines and validation logic.
2️⃣ Is my client's data actually safe? - We explain exactly how we encrypt it, where it lives, and how you can delete it.
3️⃣ What happens if I need to scan more assets than my plan allows? - You won't hit a hard wall. That's for sure.

Compliance beasts and how to tame them
⬇️ Episode 4: The Scope Serpent 🐍

The Scope Serpent haunts your workflow because:
🐍 It hides - Sprawling attack surfaces mask internal exposures
📈 It grows - your environment is too dynamic for manual tracking.
🙈 It blinds - untested assets lead to routine audit rejections.

Tame it with audit-ready discovery:
🌐 Map the perimeter - identify external and internal exposures automatically.
🔍 Validate the risk - get proof of exploitability, not just a list of assets.
🏗️ Centralize - group assets by business unit to keep evidence structured and separated.

Stop guessing your scope. Start proving your compliance.

We know the drill: Audit looms -> Panic ensues -> Scramble for evidence.
But can AI help with this? It can get the boring stuff out of the way so you can focus on security.

We just want to know if the reality matches the hype.

How are you actually using AI for compliance right now?

🚨 Active exploitation confirmed: CVE-2026-24061.
This isn't just theoretical, it's a massive exposure. With nearly 800,000 Telnet instances exposed globally across legacy IoT and outdated servers, the risk of a root-level compromise is real and immediate.

We have updated @Pentest-Tools.com to help you validate your exposure:
📡 Network Scanner - detects exposed Telnet services across your internal and external perimeters, identifying potentially vulnerable GNU Inetutils daemons.
🎯 Sniper Auto-Exploiter - safely executes a proof-of-concept to confirm if the authentication bypass is actually exploitable on your systems, providing the evidence needed to prioritize an immediate fix.

⚠️ Crucial detail: This critical vulnerability exists because telnetd fails to sanitize the USER environment variable. An attacker can simply supply -f root to bypass the login prompt entirely and gain instant, unauthenticated root shell access.
Attacks are happening in real-time. Validate your risk before it becomes a root-level compromise.

January was all about detection depth and clarity.

Here we go with the most important updates in Pentest-Tools.com:

🕷️ Deeper logic - the Website Scanner now hunts down CL.0 request smuggling and serialized objects inside JSON payloads.

🎯 Validate your exposure - you know the risks of React2Shell and FortiWeb. Now use Sniper: Auto-Exploiter to prove your patches actually hold up against real exploits.

⚓ Port-aware findings - we now group findings by port. Same vulnerability, different port? That is now a separate entry for cleaner reporting.

See the full breakdown on January updates here: pentest-tools.com/change-log

Until next time: Stay sharp. Stay human.

Oh, is your scan data looking a bit... fragmented? 🧩

We know the drill: run a scan, export a CSV, copy-paste into Excel.

At Pentest-Tools.com, we prefer to keep things logical, not logistical. Our Scan Management aggregates your port, website, and network findings into one pragmatic view.

🔇 Filter the noise - focus on vulnerabilities, not formatting.

💾 Parsable exports - clean JSON & CSVs, because we know you love to grep.

🌐 Real context - see your full attack surface, not just isolated ports.

They're not "magic boxes", they're just tools that make you exponentially more effective.

Less data wrangling, more hacking.

🔥 A vulnerability in AWStats sitting in a cPanel tree... H I D I N G?

We discovered it.

CVE-2025-63261 (or as we call it: PTT-2025-021) is what happens when "legacy meets lazy":

A single "|" in an HTTP GET param leads straight to RCE via Perl’s unsafe open() call.

And yes, this was sitting in AWStats.

Why it matters:

🔹 It’s already 2026, and we’re still finding bugs from 2000s-era web tools
🔹 Attack surface doesn’t disappear, it just ages quietly
🔹 RCE doesn’t need zero-days when it has zero hygiene

📝 We have a very comprehensive Part 1 article, written by Matei Badanoiu, who walks us through:

✅ How we found the bug
✅ How we turned it into a working exploit
✅ Why these “boring” vulns still matter

Compliance beasts and how to tame them
⬇️ Episode 3: The Snapshot Sphinx

The Snapshot Sphinx haunts your workflow because:

🗿 It demands the "Eternal now" - auditors want a pulse, not a 6-month-old screengrab.
📉 It thrives on decay - static reports rot the moment a new CVE drops.
🔄 It forces the "Periodic panic" - you end up scanning everything 48 hours before the auditor arrives.

Wanna tame this "creature"? Switch to continuous evidence:

📅 Schedule the scrutiny - automate scans weekly or monthly to keep your data fresh.
🔍 Spot the delta - use vulnerability diffing to show exactly what you fixed since the last run.
📈 Prove the trend - transform one-off reports into a defensible history of proactive risk reduction.

Show your auditors a heartbeat, not a snapshot.

It’s 2026. Do you know where your backup[.]zip from 2023 is? 🧐

We love a complex RCE as much as the next person, but sometimes the biggest risk isn't a zero-day. It’s the "temporary" file a developer uploaded on a Friday afternoon three years ago and forgot to delete.

We’ve all seen them:

📂 /db_backup.sql (the classic)
📂 /old_site/ (the time capsule)
📂 /staging_new_final_v3/ (the lie)

Stop guessing what was left behind. The URL Fuzzer from Pentest-Tools.com is built to find the unlinked, forgotten, and "hidden" junk that scanners often miss.

Even better? It uses a built-in ML Classifier to filter the noise, cutting false positives by ~50% so you don't waste time chasing ghosts.

🧹 Run a quick scan and clear out the cobwebs. Follow the link in the comments.
