Legion is a Python-based automatic enumeration tool that orchestrates well-known open-source pentesting tools (nmap, hydra, metasploit) to extract information from network services. It supports automatic, semi-automatic, and manual scanning modes plus brute-forcing of common protocols.

Use cases

• automatically enumerate services on a pentest target
• brute force ssh and other protocols with hydra
• scan open ports and extract service info without typing commands manually
• run sqlmap and other tools against discovered http services
• run a pentesting methodology scan inside docker

When to choose

• you want automated service enumeration during authorized pentests
• you want one interface wrapping nmap, hydra, and metasploit
• you follow the HackTricks pentesting methodology

When to avoid

• you need a GUI vulnerability scanner
• you lack authorization to test target systems
• you need stealthy or low-noise scanning
