Pown.js – A Security Testing An Exploitation Toolkit Built On Top Of Node.js And NPM
Pown.js is a security testing and exploitation toolkit built on top of Node.js and NPM. Unlike traditional security tools like Metasploits, Pown.js considers frameworks to be an anti-pattern. Therefore, each module in Pown is in fact a standalone NPM module allowing greater degree of reuse and flexibility. Creating new modules is a matter of publishing to NPM and tagging it with the correct tags. The rest is handled automatically.
Quickstart
Install Pown.js globally with npm or yarn.
$ npm install -g pown@latest

Pown.js comes with several builtin modules for convenience. However, additional modules can be installed directly from the NPM registry using pown modules command. Optional modules are installed in the current users’s home folder under .pown/modules.
