Local PentestLab Management Script

Bash script to manage web apps using docker and hosts aliases.
Made for Kali linux, but should work fine with pretty much any linux distro.

Current available webapps

bWAPP
WebGoat 7.1
WebGoat 8.0
Damn Vulnerable Web App
Mutillidae II
OWASP Juice Shop
WPScan Vulnerable Wordpress
OpenDNS Security Ninjas
Altoro Mutual
Vulnerable GraphQL API

Get started

Using any of these apps can be done in 3 quick and simple steps.

1) Clone the repo

Clone this repo, or download it any way you prefer

git clone https://github.com/eystsen/pentestlab.git
cd pentestlab

2) Install docker

The provided docker install script is no longer needed. On Kali 2020 you can install docker using apt, like this:

sudo apt install docker.io

For any other distro, use the prefered way to install docker.

3) Start an app on localhost

Now you can start and stop one or more of these apps on your system. As an example, to start bWAPP just run this command

./pentestlab.sh start bwapp

This will download the docker, add bwapp to hosts file and run the docker mapped to one of the localhost IPs. That means you can just point your browser to http://bwapp and it will be up and running.

4) Start an app and expose it from machine

Use the startpublic command to bind the app to your IP

./pentestlab.sh startpublic bwapp

If you have multiple interfaces and/or IPs, or you need to expose the app on a different port specify it like this

./pentestlab.sh startpublic bwapp 192.168.1.105 8080

IP needs to be an IP on the machine and port in this example is 8080

You can only have one app exposed on any given port. If you need to expose more than one app, you need to use different ports.

5) Stopp any app

To stop any app use the stop command

./pentestlab.sh stop bwapp

Print a complete list of available projects use the list command

./pentestlab.sh list

Running just the script will print help info

./pentestlabs.sh

Troubleshoot / FAQ

I can't connect to the application I just stared, what is wrong?

Make sure you are using HTTP not HTTPS
Try using the IP address instead of the name (to see if the issue is with host file or docker)
If you are still not able to connect then follow the steps below to create a ticket

I still cannot make it work, how do I create an issue to get help?

Do these steps and record ouput (image, copy paste from screen, whatever works for you)

Stop the application first (to clean up some configuration that are done during start)
Start the application again
Run this command to get information about running dockers

sudo docker ps

Try to access the application using the IP address
