SPITFIRE

open-source

Deployable nerve center for pentest engagements integrating collaboration, C2, recon, reporting, and reference tools on a portable server.

Summary

SPITFIRE is an open-source pentest-distro that functions as a deployable nerve center for pentest engagements, intended for red-teamers and adversary-simulation practitioners. It operates as a service installed on a portable computing device, coordinating tools across Docker micro-services managed by a master bash script. The README calls it a deployable nerve center for pentest engagements integrating collaboration, C2, recon, reporting, and reference tools on a portable server, and has seen documentation updates regarding its deployment architecture.

How SPITFIRE helps

Where do we stand up shared comms and file collaboration for this engagement without depending on client network access?

boots Matrix Synapse with an Element web client as a self-contained micro-service, giving the team chat and rich-text collaboration off the portable server itself

Which hosts and services has recon turned up on this engagement's network so far?

runs the IVRE recon framework's automated scanning and enumeration against the target network and keeps screenshots alongside the results

Where do we track findings and turn them into a report without juggling spreadsheets across the team?

centralizes vulnerability tracking and reporting through the built-in pentest collaboration framework shared by everyone on the engagement

Where can the team pull a curated tool or reference doc when the engagement network has no internet access?

serves a web-enabled git repository of curated tools and references from the portable server, reachable even on closed or standalone networks

Where do we stash artifacts and quick notes we're passing around mid-engagement?

provides cloud-based artifact storage plus a pastebin-style service for sharing working notes and snippets on the fly

How do we bring up the same set of services consistently across engagements without reinstalling everything each time?

starts every component as its own Docker micro-service under docker-compose, driven by one master bash script that automates the deployment
