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
