How to Make Your Own Dangerous Script for Pentesting Using PentestGPT
So bro, I gotta be honest — jab maine pehli dafa “PentestGPT” ka naam suna na, I literally rolled my eyes. Mujhe laga yeh bhi koi ChatGPT ka wannabe cousin hoga jo bas recon karwa ke chill karta hoga. But phir ek raat, jab neend meri already vacation pe thi aur main apne broken Wi-Fi ke saath war kar raha tha, I accidentally fell down this rabbit hole. Aur bhai… it changed everything.
Dekho, mujhe hamesha se custom tools banane ka craze tha. Like proper mera apna script ho — jo har baar kisi aur ke tools pe dependent na kare. But main kabhi bhi expert coder nahi tha. Thoda Python, thoda bash, baaki sab Google. I thought custom script likhna matlab MIT graduate hona chahiye. But then PentestGPT ne meri fake impostor syndrome wali soch ko thappad mara.
Mere liye yeh sab start hua ek choti si problem se: mujhe ek script chahiye thi jo ek specific IP range scan kare, HTTP ports check kare, aur phir automatically directory fuzzing kare using common wordlists. Sounds easy, right? Lol. Main ne socha, “Chalo YouTube khol ke dekhte hain koi ready-made script mil jaye.” But guess what? Har video ya toh outdated tha ya fir banda aise bol raha tha jaise mujhe already sab pata ho. And honestly, I was THIS close to rage quitting. Phir kisi random GitHub repo ke beech maine dekha: PentestGPT.
PentestGPT basically ek AI-powered penetration testing assistant hai jo GPT-4 pe based hai. Tu usko CLI pe prompt deta hai, aur yeh banday jesa behave karta hai — legit helpful intern jesa. But difference yeh hai ke yeh banda emotional nahi hota, sirf logical hota hai (sad reacts only). Matlab agar tu vague prompt dega like “make hacking tool,” toh yeh bhi vague hi reply karega. But agar clearly samjhaoge, toh literally tumhare liye kaam karega jaise ek loyal coder.
Setup karna bhi itna mushkil nahi. Just Git clone karo yeh repo:
👉 https://github.com/GreyDGL/PentestGPT
Phir OpenAI API key set karo, aur run karo python pentestgpt_cli.py. Bus yeh karte waqt thoda patience rakhna — agar tu Windows pe ho toh kuch dependency errors aa sakte hain (I almost broke my keyboard, no joke). But once it’s up and running, game on.
Ab script banani ho toh sirf ek kaam karo — apne dimaag ke wires ko untangle karo, aur socho kya chahiye exactly. Kyunke PentestGPT koi mind reader nahi hai. Tu agar keh de “make me a SQLi tester,” toh yeh bhi confuse ho jata hai. But agar tu clearly kahe:
“Make a Python script that takes CIDR, scans for open HTTP/HTTPS ports using Nmap, then performs directory brute force on those open services using common wordlists.”
Toh bhai, yeh banda itni asaani se script nikaal deta hai ke tu literally emotional ho jaayega. Maine toh pehli dafa run karne ke baad do minute tak blank screen ko dekha and was like… “Yeh ho kya gaya bro…?”
Acha funny thing bataun? Ek baar main ne socha ke chalo isko thoda test karte hain. I asked it to create a script that sends different SQL injection payloads to a list of URLs and detects if any error messages come back. Script ban gaya. Looks solid. Maine run kiya. Bro… it spammed 200+ requests in 30 seconds. VPS pe rate limit lag gayi, aur mujhe laga mujhe Interpol call karega ab. 😂 I panicked so hard ke router ka wire hi unplug kar diya, jaise woh kuch bacha lega. Moral of the story: test slowly. GPT se jo script milti hai, wo sometimes too effective hoti hai.
Ek aur cheez — prompts Roman Urdu main bhi chal jaate hain, surprisingly. Maine try kiya:
“Bhai aisi script bana jo har IP ko scan kare aur agar HTTP/FTP open ho toh uska banner read kare.”
Yeh bhai sahab ne sahi script di. Bas thoda grammar mix tha but samajh gaya clearly. Toh don’t worry about English proficiency. Just be specific. Jo chahiye, clearly likho. AI ko vagueness nahi pasand.
Ab tu soch raha hoga, “Okay, script mil gaya. Then what?”
Yaha pe game change hota hai. PentestGPT is not god. It gives you a skeleton. Acha base. But tu hi usko polish karega, error handling dalega, aur thoda aur smart banayega. Jaise tu ek raw clay sculpture leke usko masterpiece mein badal raha ho. Prompt do:
“Improve error handling and make output user-friendly with logging.”
Aur dekh kis tarah se script aur clean, aur readable ban jati hai. Bro, aisa feel hota hai jaise tu kisi silent mentor ke saath pair programming kar raha hai jo kabhi judge nahi karta. Love that for us.
Aur bhai yaad rakh — yeh sab sirf educational purposes ke liye hai. Please don’t use these scripts on random public IPs bina permission ke. Tu hacker nahi, student hai. Warna kal ko FIA tumhare ghar knock kare aur bolay “API key kahan hai?” toh mujhe blame mat dena. 😬
Best approach yeh hai ke tu TryHackMe ya HackTheBox jese platforms pe practice kare. Vaha proper legal environment hota hai test karne ke liye. Aur vibes bhi heavy hoti hain, like you’re in a secret underground hacker bunker. Thoda roleplay bhi ho jata hai. 😎
Honestly bolun toh, jab maine apna pehla custom script banaya using PentestGPT, it felt like that moment jab tu first time apne haathon se maggi perfect banata hai bina kisi ki help ke. Simple analogy but true af. That feeling — ki “haan bhai, ab samajh aaya” — is priceless.
You stop being scared of tools. You start understanding how payloads work, kaunsa port kya karta hai, aur kya cheez silently fail ho rahi hai.
Yeh journey slow hai. Kabhi kabhi frustrating hoti hai. But bro, jab tera script actually kaam karta hai on target lab — wo dopamine hit… unmatched.
Anyway.
This got way deeper than I expected. Meri chai bhi ab room temperature ke neeche ja chuki hai. Spotify pe wohi sad lo-fi loop ho raha hai for the 4th time. But agar tu genuinely chahta hai ke tera apna custom pentesting tool ho — jo specifically tera kaam kare — then PentestGPT is your guy.
Prompt dena seekh ja. Experiment kar. 10 baar fail hoga. But 11th time, script chal jaayegi.
Aur jab chalegi na… tu sirf hacker nahi, creator feel karega.
Chal, milte hain next blog mein.
Chai thandi ho gayi. Mood garam ho gaya.
Catch you at 3:13am on another breakdown. ✌️
