WriteHat is a self-hosted web application for generating penetration test reports, converting Markdown to HTML to PDF without Microsoft Word. Built with Django and deployed via Docker Compose, it includes a drag-and-drop report builder, findings database, and CVSS/DREAD scoring.

Use cases

• generate pentest reports without word
• write penetration testing reports in markdown
• manage findings database for security assessments
• convert markdown reports to pdf
• collaborate on report sections with team members
• clone and template security reports
• score vulnerabilities with cvss or dread

When to choose

• you need a dedicated self-hosted reporting tool for pentest engagements
• you want markdown-based report authoring with pdf output
• you need a reusable findings database and report templating

When to avoid

• you only need simple one-off document conversion
• you cannot run docker or a self-hosted server
• you need offline desktop word-processor-style editing
