## What it is
pythem is a multi-purpose penetration testing framework written in Python 2.7, providing an interactive CLI for security researchers. It bundles ARP/DNS spoofing, man-in-the-middle attacks, brute-force, packet analysis, scanning, and fuzzing capabilities.

## Use cases
- perform arp spoofing man-in-the-middle attacks
- brute force ssh or web login forms
- sniff and parse network packets
- scan websites for xss vulnerabilities
- spoof dns to redirect lan traffic
- fuzz web parameters
- generate and inject network packets

## When to choose
- you need an all-in-one interactive pentest toolkit on Linux
- you want to combine MITM spoofing with credential harvesting in one tool
- you prefer a scriptable Python framework for network attacks

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - last release was 2019 and it targets Python 2.7
- you need Windows or macOS support
- you want a modern framework with active community updates
