# What is Jok3r ?

## Network and Web Pentest Framework

Jok3r is a Python3 CLI application which is aimed at helping penetration testers for network infrastructure and web black-box security tests.

## Overview

Its main goal is to save time on everything that can be automated during network/web pentest in order to enjoy more time on more interesting and challenging stuff.

To achieve that, it combines open-source Hacking tools to perform reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation, bruteforce and (basic) post-exploitation against all common network services.

## Main features

- Toolbox management: Install automatically all the hacking tools that are used by Jok3r and keep them up-to-date.
- Attack automation: Run security checks against network services (including web) by chaining various hacking tools. Jok3r does its best to become aware of the context of the target and run the checks accordingly (depending on the technology in use, the knowledge of valid credentials or not, etc.)
- Mission management: Targets can be classified by missions and stored into a local database. It stores all information related to targeted services and results of the security checks that have been run. It is similar to the Metasploit database.

Note

Jok3r has been built with the ambition to be easily and quickly customizable: Tools, security checks, supported network services... can be easily added/edited/removed by editing settings files with an easy-to-understand syntax.
