ptcommands

A small Python library and CLI for the command catalog extracted from the uploaded penetration-testing course PDFs.

Safety note: this library only stores and displays commands. It does not run Nmap. Only run scanning commands on systems you own or have permission to test.

Install locally

cd ptcommands_lib
python -m pip install -e .

Use as a library

from ptcommands import COMMANDS, filter_commands

for item in filter_commands(COMMANDS, section="Section 7", category="nmap", search="ports"):
    print(item.command, "=>", item.usage)

Use as a command-line tool

ptcommands
ptcommands --category nmap
ptcommands --section "Section 7" --search ports
ptcommands --markdown > COMMANDS.md

Build a distributable package

python -m pip install build
python -m build

The generated package files will be in dist/.
