LEGION: Automatic Enumeration Tool

Legion is based in the Pentesting Methodology that you can find in book.hacktricks.xyz.

Legion is a tool that uses several well-known opensource tools to automatically, semi-automatically or manually enumerate the most frequent found services running in machines that you could need to pentest.

Basically, the goal of Legion is to extract all the information that you can from each opened network service, so you don’t have to write and execute the same commands in a terminal every time you find that service. Some actions are repeated by more than one tool, this is done to be sure that all the possible information is correctly extracted.

Installation

Installation of Legion

git clone https://github.com/carlospolop/legion.git /opt/legion
cd /opt/legion/git
./install.sh
ln -s /opt/legion/legion.py /usr/bin/legion

Docker

To have a nice experience with legion you can also build a container image using docker or podman, just typing the following commands:

docker build -t legion .

And start the container:

docker run -it legion bash

You will have a ready-to-use legion container image (To execute legion inside the container run ./legion.py).

Use

Protocols Supported

You can get a list using the command protos

Brute force

All the protocols included in Legion that could be brute force, can be brute force using Legion. To see if a service can be brute forced and which command line will be used to do so (by default “hydra” is implemented, if hydra was not available metasploit or nmap will be used) set the protocol and the set the intensity to “3”.

Example of brute forcing ssh:

Internal Commands

Use the help internal command to get info about what each command does.

Automatic Scan

Just lauch the internal command startGeneral and the ‘General‘ will start scanning ports and services automatically.

Semi-Automatic Scan

You can set all the options properly and launch several commands to scan one service. You can do this using the command run.

Manual Scan

You can execute just one command using exec <name>. For example: exec http_slqmap

Some services have on demand commands, this commands can only be executed using this internal command (exec).

Options

domain

Set the domain of the DNS or of the user that you want to use

extensions

Comma separeted list of possible extensions (to brute force files in a web server)

host

It is the host that you want to attack (valid IP and domains)

Example:

set host 127.0.0.1
set host some.domain.com

intensity

There are 3 intensities:

• 1: Basic checks executed
• 2: All checks executed (Default)
• 3: Brute force (check for availability)

ipv6

Ipv6 address of the victim, could be usefull for some commands

notuse

You can set a list (separated by commands) of commands that you don’t want to use. For example, if you don’t want modules from metasploit to be executed:set notuse msf.

password

Set here the password of the username you want to use.

path

Web server file path

plist

Set here the path to a list of passwords (by default LEGION has its own list)

port

The port where the service is running. If “0”, then the default port of the service will be used (you can see this information using info)

proto

It is the protocol that you want to attack

Example:

set proto http

reexec

Set True if you want already executed commands to be executed again (by default is set to False).

ulist

Set a value here if you want to brute force a list of usernames (by default LEGION has its own list of usernames)

username

Set the username of the user that you want to use/brute-force(by default to brute-force a list of users is used).

verbose

If True the output of the command will be displayed as soon as it ends. If False it won’t.

If True the output of info will show where each parameter is used, for example:

If False the output of info will show the values of the parameters, for example:

workdir

Is the directory where the info of the victim is storaged. By default it is $HOME/.legion
