## What it is
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
