Social engineering toolkit for penetration tests
BeEF
Browser exploitation framework for pentesters
About BeEF
BeEF is a penetration testing framework focused on web browsers, letting testers assess a client's security posture through browser vectors. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. For teams, the appeal is control: audit the code, extend it where the license allows, and keep the workflow running even if a vendor changes direction.
