PWNTOOL is a proof-of-concept graphical toolkit for hackers and cybersecurity professionals. It serves as an early prototype of a larger upcoming project called pwnpanel, conceptualized by Muhammed Shafin P (@hejhdiss) and designed by BytexGrid. The goal is to simplify penetration testing and network analysis by wrapping powerful command-line tools in an intuitive interface.
This initial version focuses on robust integration with Ettercap, offering multiple installation methods, real-time terminal output, and both graphical and text-based interaction modes. Features include process monitoring, embedded terminal tabs, and post-installation checks to ensure a smooth setup experience.
Future versions aim to support over 60 cybersecurity tools through a modular, JSON-configurable system. Planned additions include built-in network scanning, GUI-based controls for common attacks, structured output parsing, and session logging. The design emphasizes ease of use while maintaining powerful control for advanced users.
Tested on Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, PWNTOOL is open source under the MIT License, with concept and design licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Development is ongoing, and contributions are welcome as the project evolves toward the full-featured pwnpanel framework, which is currently in its prototype stage and available at:
