PenPeeper vs Pentesterra

PenPeeper is an open-source penetration-testing engagement manager for security professionals. It organizes projects through Gather, Search, Findings, and Report stages, supporting multiple engagements and clients, device tags, asset filters, and targeted reports. Users can import scans, screenshots, and notes, then export complete projects as encrypted files for sharing or backup. Built-in automation integrates Nmap, Nikto, SearchSploit, WhatWeb, Enum4Linux, FFUF, and SNMP, with configurable scan concurrency. PenPeeper retrieves CVE details, severity scores, and descriptions from the National Vulnerability Database. AI features cover vulnerability hunting, evidence examination, remediation recommendations, and executive-summary generation through local or cloud providers including LM Studio, Ollama, OpenRouter, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and custom providers. Guided templates and customizable summary graphics support PDF reports. The software is free for personal or professional use under its stated license terms, but selling it or hosting it as paid SaaS requires permission or is prohibited. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows; Windows requires Windows Subsystem for Linux. Vulnerability testing is passive and flags potential issues for manual review.

Pentesterra is a security orchestration platform combining vulnerability management, automated network and web pentesting, breach and attack simulation, and AI-assisted exploit verification. Its workflow links attack-surface mapping, simulation, and controlled exploitation, prioritizing findings with evidence. Web testing covers modern web apps, single-page applications, and APIs through public or private proxies and Tor, including authentication flows, CSRF, JWT, and WAF evasion. Safe exploit validation uses real-world tools in non-malicious modes and is described as involving no malware or ransomware. Attack Chain Analysis turns web, network, and DevGuard findings into directed kill-chain graphs, with up to 20 paths at depth five or less. Deployment is available as SaaS, dedicated PaaS, or fully air-gapped on-premises. Integrations include Jira ticket creation from verified findings and a REST API for scans, results, and reporting. Enterprise options add SIEM export, ticketing integrations, SSO, and compliance evidence packages. Plans range from a free DevGuard Free tier to Vibe Coding at €23/month; higher tiers list specific scan and project limits, while Enterprise pricing is custom.
