How to Use Faraday for Collaborative Penetration Testing in Kali Linux

Install Faraday on Kali Linux

Kali Linux is a powerful open-source platform for penetration testing and security auditing. Faraday is a powerful tool for collaborative penetration testing that can be used with Kali Linux. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Faraday on Kali Linux and get started with collaborative penetration testing.

To install Faraday on Kali Linux, you will need to open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install faraday

Once the installation is complete, you will need to create a Faraday workspace. To do this, you will need to run the following command:

faraday-workspace --create

Once the workspace is created, you will need to start the Faraday server. To do this, you will need to run the following command:

faraday-server --start

Once the Faraday server is running, you will need to connect to it. To do this, you will need to run the following command:

faraday-client --connect

Once you are connected to the Faraday server, you can start adding hosts and services. To do this, you will need to run the following command:

faraday-client --add-host

Once you have added the hosts and services, you can start running scans. To do this, you will need to run the following command:

faraday-client --run-scan

By following these steps, you can easily install Faraday on Kali Linux and get started with collaborative penetration testing. For more information on Faraday and how to use it, you can visit the Faraday website.

Create a Faraday Workspace

Creating a Faraday workspace is the first step in using Faraday for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux. To create a workspace, open the Faraday GUI and click on the “Create Workspace” button. You will be prompted to enter a name for the workspace. Enter a name that is meaningful and descriptive, such as “Kali Linux Penetration Test”. Once you have entered the name, click “Create” to create the workspace. You will then be taken to the workspace page, where you can start adding hosts and services to the workspace.

To add hosts and services to the workspace, click on the “Add Hosts and Services” button. You will be prompted to enter the IP address of the host or service you want to add. Enter the IP address and click “Add”. You will then be taken to the host or service page, where you can add more information about the host or service. You can also add notes, tags, and other information about the host or service.

Once you have added all the hosts and services to the workspace, you can start running scans. To run a scan, click on the “Run Scans” button. You will be prompted to select the type of scan you want to run. Select the type of scan you want to run and click “Run”. Faraday will then start running the scan and you will be able to view the results in the Faraday GUI.

Start the Faraday Server

In order to use Faraday for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux, you must first start the Faraday server. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command: faraday-server start. This will start the Faraday server and allow you to connect to it. You can also use the faraday-server status command to check the status of the server. Once the server is running, you can connect to it using the faraday-client connect command.

Once the Faraday server is running, you can start adding hosts and services to it. To do this, you can use the faraday-client add command. This command will allow you to add hosts and services to the Faraday server. You can also use the faraday-client list command to view the list of hosts and services that have been added to the Faraday server.

Once you have added hosts and services to the Faraday server, you can start running scans. To do this, you can use the faraday-client scan command. This command will allow you to run scans on the hosts and services that have been added to the Faraday server. You can also use the faraday-client report command to view the results of the scans.

By using Faraday for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux, you can easily and quickly scan hosts and services for vulnerabilities. With the help of the Faraday server, you can easily add hosts and services and run scans on them. You can also view the results of the scans using the faraday-client report command.

Connect to the Faraday Server

In order to use Faraday for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux, you must first connect to the Faraday server. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command: faraday-client --server . This will connect you to the Faraday server. Once connected, you can start adding hosts and services to the workspace. You can also run scans and view the results in the Faraday GUI.

It is important to note that the Faraday server must be running in order for you to connect to it. To start the Faraday server, open a terminal window and type the following command: faraday-server start. This will start the Faraday server and allow you to connect to it. Once the server is running, you can connect to it using the faraday-client command.

Once you have connected to the Faraday server, you can start adding hosts and services to the workspace. You can also run scans and view the results in the Faraday GUI. Faraday is a powerful tool for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux, and connecting to the Faraday server is the first step in using it.

Add Hosts and Services

Faraday is a powerful tool for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux. In this tutorial, we will show you how to add hosts and services to Faraday. To do this, you will need to open the Faraday GUI and connect to the Faraday server. Once connected, you can add hosts and services to the workspace. You can also run scans to identify vulnerabilities in the hosts and services.

To add hosts and services to Faraday, first open the Faraday GUI. Then, connect to the Faraday server by running the following command in the terminal:

faraday-client --server 
Once connected, you can add hosts and services to the workspace. To add a host, click on the “Hosts” tab in the Faraday GUI and then click on the “Add Host” button. Enter the IP address of the host and click “Add”. To add a service, click on the “Services” tab in the Faraday GUI and then click on the “Add Service” button. Enter the IP address of the host, the port number, and the protocol of the service and click “Add”.

Once you have added the hosts and services to the workspace, you can run scans to identify vulnerabilities. To do this, click on the “Scans” tab in the Faraday GUI and then click on the “Run Scan” button. Select the hosts and services you want to scan and click “Run”. Faraday will then run the scans and display the results in the GUI. You can also export the results to a file for further analysis.

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to use Faraday for collaborative penetration testing in Kali Linux. We have shown you how to install Faraday on Kali Linux, create a Faraday workspace, start the Faraday server, connect to the Faraday server, add hosts and services, and run scans. With Faraday, you can easily identify vulnerabilities in your hosts and services and take the necessary steps to secure them.

Run Scans

Once you have added hosts and services to your Faraday workspace, you can start running scans. Faraday supports a wide range of scanning tools, including Nmap, Nessus, OpenVAS, and Metasploit. To run a scan, select the host or service you want to scan, and then click the “Scan” button. You will be presented with a list of available scanning tools. Select the tool you want to use and click “Run Scan”. Faraday will then run the scan and display the results in the workspace. You can also view the results of the scan in the “Scans” tab.

To run a scan using the command line, you can use the faraday-cli tool. For example, to run an Nmap scan on a host, you can use the following command:

faraday-cli scan --host  --tool nmap

You can also use the faraday-cli tool to run scans on multiple hosts. For example, to run an Nmap scan on multiple hosts, you can use the following command:

faraday-cli scan --hosts ,, --tool nmap

You can also use the faraday-cli tool to run scans on multiple services. For example, to run an Nmap scan on multiple services, you can use the following command:

faraday-cli scan --services ,, --tool nmap

You can also use the faraday-cli tool to run scans on multiple hosts and services. For example, to run an Nmap scan on multiple hosts and services, you can use the following command:

faraday-cli scan --hosts ,, --services ,, --tool nmap

For more information on using the faraday-cli tool, please refer to the Faraday CLI Usage page.
