Usage Guidelines

Ethical Considerations

  • Authorized Testing Only - Use only on systems you own or have explicit permission
  • Legal Compliance - Ensure compliance with local and international laws
  • Responsible Disclosure - Follow responsible disclosure practices
  • Documentation - Maintain detailed documentation of all testing activities

Testing Methodology

  1. Planning - Define scope and objectives
  2. Reconnaissance - Gather information about target systems
  3. Vulnerability Assessment - Identify potential vulnerabilities
  4. Exploitation - Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities
  5. Post-Exploitation - Maintain access and gather additional information
  6. Reporting - Document findings and provide remediation recommendations

Installation & Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/1cbyc/offensive-security-payloads.git
    cd offensive-security-payloads
    
  2. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Set up environment:

    cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
    # Configure your testing environment
    
  4. Run security tests:

    python security_tester.py --target target.com --module web
    

Payload Examples

SQL Injection Payloads
