Commando VM (by Mandiant) is a Windows-based offensive security / red-team distribution built to turn a fresh Windows installation into a fully featured penetration testing environment. It provides an automated installer (PowerShell script) that uses Chocolatey, Boxstarter, and MyGet package feeds to download, install, and configure dozens (100+ / 170+ depending on version) of offensive, fuzzing, enumeration, and exploitation tools. The idea is to spare testers the repetitive work of hand-installing dozens of windows tools, dependencies, and configurations. ...

K8tools is a large, curated GitHub repository collecting dozens (hundreds) of security- and exploitation-oriented utilities, proof-of-concepts, and payloads aimed at penetration testing, privilege escalation, and vulnerability exploitation. The project bundles exploits for many well-known CVEs, remote get-shell scripts, local privilege-escalation helpers, credential-harvesting utilities, scanning and brute-force tools, and a variety of platform-specific binaries and archives organized into folders for quick browsing. ...

PoshC2 is a proxy-aware C2 framework used to aid penetration testers with red teaming, post-exploitation and lateral movement. PoshC2 is primarily written in Python3 and follows a modular format to enable users to add their own modules and tools, allowing an extendible and flexible C2 framework. Out-of-the-box PoshC2 comes PowerShell/C# and Python2/Python3 implants with payloads written in PowerShell v2 and v4, C++ and C# source code, a variety of executables, DLLs and raw shellcode in...

Penetration-Testing-Tools is a curated collection of tools, scripts, cheatsheets and reference materials assembled to help security researchers, red-teamers, and students perform hands-on penetration testing across multiple domains. The repository groups resources by discipline — reconnaissance, web application testing, network exploitation, privilege escalation, post-exploitation and reporting — so users can quickly find relevant utilities and walkthroughs. ...

Nishang is a framework and collection of scripts and payloads which enables usage of PowerShell for offensive security, penetration testing and red teaming. Nishang is useful during all phases of penetration testing. Import all the scripts in the current PowerShell session (PowerShell v3 onwards). Use the individual scripts with dot sourcing. Note that the help is available for the function loaded after running the script and not the script itself since version 0.3.8. ...

...The repository bundles many focused scripts: code to enumerate system and Active Directory information, payload generation helpers, in-memory execution utilities, and modules to interact with credentials and services. Because the modules can be used to both demonstrate weaknesses and to exploit them, the project is typically referenced in threat emulation, penetration testing, and defensive research to understand attacker capabilities. Responsible use centers on authorized assessments: defenders use the toolkit to validate monitoring and detection, while operators apply its lessons to patch, harden, and instrument systems.
