Pentest Directory Init

Overview

Pentest Directory Init is a simple tool for setting up a structured directory layout for penetration testing projects. It ensures organized storage of wordlists, loots, credentials, hashes, exploits, scripts, reports, and other essential files used during an engagement.

Features

• Automatically creates a well-structured directory for pentest projects.
• Generates necessary subdirectories such as wordlists, loots, recon, reports, and more.
• Auto-populates key files such as userslist.txt, passlist.txt, and credentials.txt.
• Creates a .gitignore file to prevent accidental commits of sensitive data.
• Generates a timestamped notes.md file for keeping track of findings.

Installation

No installation required. Ensure you have Python installed on your system.

Usage

Run the script with the following command:

python pentest_directory_init.py --project <project_name>

Example:

python pentest_directory_init.py --project facebook_pentesting

This will create a directory named facebook_pentesting with the following structure:

facebook_pentesting/
├── wordlists/
│   ├── userslist.txt
│   ├── passlist.txt
│   ├── names.txt
│   ├── emails.txt
