We’re excited to announce the release of the NetSecTap Security Assessment Framework - a comprehensive, open-source toolkit for security professionals, penetration testers, and anyone interested in understanding and improving their security posture.

🎯 What is the NetSecTap Security Assessment Framework?
#

The NetSecTap Security Assessment Framework is a unified security testing platform that combines three powerful assessment capabilities:

  • Web Application Security Assessment: SSL/TLS analysis, HTTP security headers, OWASP vulnerability checks, and technology fingerprinting
  • Network Infrastructure Assessment: Network scanning, CVE vulnerability lookup, security hygiene checking, and service detection
  • WiFi Security Assessment: Wireless network analysis, encryption assessment, and packet capture capabilities

🚀 Key Features
#

Web Application Testing
#

  • SSL/TLS Analysis: Comprehensive testing using testssl.sh
  • Security Headers: Evaluate OWASP recommended HTTP headers
  • Technology Detection: Identify frameworks, CMS platforms, and server software
  • Automated Reporting: Generate professional Markdown and PDF reports
  • Email Delivery: Automated report distribution via Microsoft Graph API

Network Infrastructure Scanning
#

  • Multiple Scan Profiles: Quick, full, vulnerability, service, and discovery modes
  • CVE Vulnerability Lookup: Integration with NIST NVD API
  • Security Hygiene Scoring: Automated risk assessment and recommendations
  • Smart Caching: Efficient CVE data management
  • Comprehensive Reports: Markdown, HTML, and text formats

WiFi Security Analysis
#

  • Three Scan Modes: Quick (no root), Full (with reconnaissance), Monitor (packet capture)
  • Encryption Analysis: WPA2/WPA3 security assessment
  • Host Discovery: Network mapping when connected
  • Monitor Mode Support: Deep packet analysis with aircrack-ng suite
  • Security Scoring: Automated vulnerability identification

💻 Quick Start
#

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/arcy24/netsectap-security-framework.git
cd netsectap-security-framework

# Interactive mode
./run-assessment.sh

# Or run specific assessments
./run-assessment.sh web --target https://example.com --automated
./run-assessment.sh network --target 192.168.1.0/24 --type vuln --cve
./run-assessment.sh wifi --scan-type quick

🛠️ Technology Stack
#

Web Assessment Tools:

  • testssl.sh for SSL/TLS testing
  • WhatWeb for technology fingerprinting
  • Python 3 with Microsoft Graph API integration
  • Pandoc for PDF generation

Network Assessment Tools:

  • nmap for network scanning
  • NIST NVD API for CVE lookups
  • Custom hygiene checking scripts
  • Automated report generation

WiFi Assessment Tools:

  • aircrack-ng suite for packet analysis
  • nmcli and iw for interface management
  • nmap for host discovery
  • Automated security scoring

📊 Use Cases
#

The framework is designed for:

  • Security Professionals: Conducting authorized penetration tests and security assessments
  • DevOps Teams: Integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines
  • System Administrators: Regular security monitoring and compliance validation
  • Researchers: Learning security assessment methodologies
  • Bug Bounty Hunters: Reconnaissance and vulnerability identification

🔒 Security and Legal Considerations
#

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This framework is designed for authorized security testing only. Always obtain explicit written permission before assessing systems you don’t own.

The framework includes:

  • Built-in safety features to prevent accidental damage
  • Clear documentation on authorization requirements
  • Tiered assessment levels (Tier 1: Non-intrusive, Tier 2: Light active scanning, Tier 3: Full pentesting)
  • Detailed logging for audit trails

📝 License and Contributing
#

The NetSecTap Security Assessment Framework is released under the MIT License, making it free to use, modify, and distribute for both personal and commercial purposes.
