A Beginner's Guide to Penetration Testing (Part 1)
After our initial port scan, we might do more scans depending on what we find. In order to be as effective as possible, and to gather as much information as possible, pentesters are often running multiple scans simultaneously on a target. There are hundreds of tools out there for every service imaginable. Some of the tools worth mentioning are wpscan (https://wpscan.com/wordpress-security-scanner) for Wordpress sites or sqlmap (https://sqlmap.org/) for automatic SQL injection. For a more extensive list of tools check out https://0xcybery.github.io/ehtk/ or https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-pentest

So the website is using Wordpress. Having said that, we are going to use WPScan. But before that, make sure that you have already acquired your API token before using WPScan or you will never be able to utilize the scanner. You can get your own API token by signing up on their website.

The most important step in hacking - Enumeration
Specialised tools can be used, for example WPScan. Allowing us to enumerate the wordpress CMS.

Boss wants vulnerability scans completed on Linux servers and WordPress websites.
Linux Servers (Remotely): nmap -> nmap -sC -sV -p- ipHere WordPress Websites: wpscan -> wpscan --url http://site.com/

wordpress enumeration without wpscan
There is one annoying "gotcha" when using WPScan, especially plugin enumeration, which is for the best results you have to go an extra step and add the "--plugins-detection mixed" option. It is documented in our user documentation - https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan/wiki/WPScan-User-Documentation#enumeration-modes

Best free security plugin for WP website?
There is a free wordpress security scanning service that you could leverage for regular security auditing of your site called WPScan that is fantastic on detecting and auditing common vulnerabilities to plugins and security exposures.
-
How to tell if a plugin is being used?
wpscan will audit for plugins used that have publicly exposed vulnerabilities. The methods of detection are quite clever and it works well.

[self-made] havn - fast lightweight port scanner
I’m not sure why I decided to create it, I think I tried to use RustScan for a simple task last week, but it was too convoluted for my needs, as well as the fact that it requires nmap to be installed. Thus havn was born, nothing else needed, and only directly using two dependencies, Tokio and Clap, although I think If I really wanted to, I could remove the Clap dependency, but it’s just so handy and easy to use.

HTB - Paper (Writeup)
First, we will be checking for open ports. I will be using rustscan here (because it's fast, and it's basically the Rust implementation of nmap), but you are free to choose whatever port scanner you like.

RustScan - Lightweight and quick open-source port scanner designed to automatically pipe open ports into Nmap.

The most important step in hacking - Enumeration
We can see there are 5 ports open. We may be able to exploit the HTTP service on port 80 or gain access to SSH on port 20. Port scanning can be slow, tools such as PyRCON and Rust Scanner may help us speed up this process. Typically this isn't necessary but in a KOTH or battlegrounds game, we can't spare the time.

sx - modern network scanner that is 30 times faster than nmap
I will do a more detailed analysis of this product, but based on these three source files: input.rs, mod.rs and Dockerfile, they made a wrapper over nmap, whereas sx is independent of third party utilities and generates and sends raw packets directly through the NIC using AF_PACKET socket
Would love to hear how it compares to RustScan: https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan
What are some alternatives?
masscan - TCP port scanner, spews SYN packets asynchronously, scanning entire Internet in under 5 minutes.
scapy - Scapy: the Python-based interactive packet manipulation program & library. Supports Python 2 & Python 3.
SecLists - SecLists is the security tester's companion. It's a collection of multiple types of lists used during security assessments, collected in one place. List types include usernames, passwords, URLs, sensitive data patterns, fuzzing payloads, web shells, and many more.

ModSecurity - ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx that is developed by Trustwave's SpiderLabs. It has a robust event-based programming language which provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring, logging and real-time analysis. With over 10,000 deployments world-wide, ModSecurity is the most widely deployed WAF in existence.
