Pown.js

The goal of Pown.js is to rapidly create information security tools and develop new security testing and detection techniques by taking advantage of the vast JavaScript software eco-system.

Start

The only prerequisite is Node. Install pown the same way all other global modules are installed.

$ npm install -g pown@latest

Update

We are constantly releasing new features. The following command will help you update.

$ pown update
$ pown modules update

History

@pdp: Pown.js was started in early 2017 as a collection of scripts to scratch a personal itch. At that time I was busy with setting up SecApps and I had a lot of useful snippets all over the code-base which I wanted to share as an opensource code. So Pown.js was born.

While the project started in 2017, versions ~0 and ~1 don't have much to show for. The tooling was sort of integrated with the capabilities of SecApps and as a result, it appeared more of extension to a commercial penetration testing software then an opensource project with a life of its own. In Late 2018 and early 2019, the project took a completely different direction with version ~2. Pown is now a lot more independent and set for success.

While you may find that Pown is covering areas already covered by other tools, the goal is not to just recreate them in JavaScript but to make them better by improving performance, and more importantly, by adding additional features. The goal is rapid prototyping.

The main philosophy behind Pown.js is that everything must run independently as much as possible so that code can be used outside of Pown itself. This anti-framework approach if you like. In fact, you can build your own tool in JavaScript and then add a single line to your package.json file with reference to your command line options to make it available in pown. Pown will do the rest.

Quickstart Template

Replace COMMAND with the correct command name.

## Quickstart

This tool is meant to be used as part of [Pown.js](https://github.com/pownjs/pown) but it can be invoked separately as an independent tool.

Install Pown first as usual:

```sh
$ npm install -g pown@latest
```

Invoke directly from Pown:

```sh
$ pown COMMAND
```

### Library Use

Install this module locally from the root of your project:

```sh
$ npm install @pown/COMMAND --save
```

Once done, invoke pown cli:

```sh
$ POWN_ROOT=. ./node_modules/.bin/pown-cli COMMAND
```

You can also use the global pown to invoke the tool locally:

```sh
$ POWN_ROOT=. pown COMMAND
```
