Legion is an open-source, semi-automated network penetration testing framework with a graphical interface, forked from Sparta. It orchestrates tools like NMAP, Nikto, Hydra, and dirbuster to aid in discovery, reconnaissance, and exploitation of information systems.

Use cases

• run automated network reconnaissance and scanning
• discover open ports and services on a subnet
• find CVEs and matching exploits for detected software
• brute-force credentials with Hydra through a GUI
• schedule staged scans to evade IPS detection
• manage pentest findings with auto-saving project results

When to choose

• you want a GUI-driven, semi-automated network pentest workflow
• you need to chain multiple scanning tools (nmap, nikto, hydra) in one interface
• you want automatic CPE/CVE detection tied to Exploit-DB
• you prefer Python 3 and PyQt6 over the older Sparta codebase

When to avoid

• you need fully automated or CI-integrated vulnerability scanning
• you require a maintained repository - this one has moved to hackman238/legion
• you need a headless or CLI-only scanning tool
• you are on a non-Linux platform without Docker
