Pent-Hive

A structured way to organize, automate, and reproduce pentests.

✨ The Problem

Pentesting usually means writing and running lots of scripts and tools:

• Build a custom exploit or payload.
• Run sequences of commands against a target.
• Reset/reinitialize the environment to test again.

Doing this manually is:

• Unorganized – scattered bash scripts or ad-hoc notes.
• Error-prone – easy to forget steps or mess up order.
• Not portable – scripts work on your machine, but not others.

🐝 The Solution

Hive & Bees provides a clean structure:

Bees → units of work

Each Bee can define:

• build → compile/setup tools before execution.
• run → execute the actual test/exploit.
• reset → restore the environment to its pre-test state.

Hives → environments where Bees run

Abstracts away where the pentest happens:

• Local (host machine).
• Docker containers.
• Remote targets.

Queens → orchestrators that tie Bees and Hives together into workflows

This way, you can keep pentests organized, reusable, and cross-platform.
