## What it is
Xerosploit is a Ruby-based penetration testing toolkit that wraps bettercap and nmap to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, port scanning, and denial-of-service testing. It offers modular attack capabilities including HTML/JavaScript injection, DNS spoofing, traffic sniffing, and image replacement.

## Use cases
- perform man in the middle attacks for security testing
- scan ports and map a local network
- test dns spoofing on a lan
- inject html or javascript into web traffic
- capture and replace downloaded files
- run denial of service tests against network targets

## When to choose
- you want a menu-driven wrapper around bettercap and nmap for MITM testing
- you need quick LAN attack demonstrations on Kali, Parrot, or Ubuntu
- you want bundled modules for sniffing, spoofing, and code injection in one tool

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with active development and modern OS support
- you require fine-grained control better served by bettercap or nmap directly
- you need Windows or macOS support
- you want a stealthy or production-grade security assessment platform
