The increasing sophistication of cyber threats requires businesses to conduct frequent security assessments to maintain a secure posture. Traditional penetration testing is often manual, resource-intensive, very expensive , and unable to keep up with rapidly evolving vulnerabilities. This proposal presents an automated penetration testing framework that can effectively conduct vulnerability scanning and reporting across multiple attack vectors —network and web. Through a combination of scanning modules, and a robust reporting suite, this framework will offer a practical, affordable solution for ongoing vulnerability management.

1. Automate penetration testing across web and network attack vectors to improve efficiency and accuracy.

2. Provide detailed reports that include severity scores, risk assessments, and remediation recommendations.

3. Reduce false positives by employing advanced detection techniques and customizable algorithms.

1. Web Penetration Testing – Assess web applications for vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Command Injection, Path Traversal and many more.

2. Network Penetration Testing – Conduct scans to identify open ports, default credentials, un-patched systems, and weak protocols , vulnerabilities related to Man-in- the-Middle (MitM) attacks, ARP Spoofing, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and many more.

3. Reporting – Generate comprehensive reports, including Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS-based severity scores) , actionable recommendations.
