Sessions 🎯

A Session is your workspace / project in Penflow. Think of it as a canvas where you can organize and track your work! ✨

Example Uses 💡

• Offensive Security 🔍

  • Pentesting (Specific technology assessments, Active Directory methodology, Web application testing, Network infrastructure engagements, ...)
  • Red teaming (engagement tracking, target reconnaissance, post-exploitation activities, adversary emulation)

• Defensive Security 🛡️

  • Blue teaming (Threat hunting, Incident response, Forensic analysis)
  • Purple teaming (Attack path visualization, Threat emulation analysis)

• Other Uses 🎨

  • Project planning
  • Learning paths
  • Presentations of an attack path (e.g. for a client)
  • Process documentation
  • Anything you can think of!

Sessions help you structure your work using Nodes - making it easy to track progress and document your methodology! 🚀

Create a new session

You just go to /sessions and click on the "New Session" button and fill the modal.

When creating a new session, you have two options:

1. Blank Session 🆕

   • Start with a clean slate
   • Build your methodology from scratch
   • Perfect for unique or one-off projects

2. Template-based Session 📋

   • Start from an existing template
   • Inherit the complete node structure and commands
   • All findings and variable groups are cleared
   • Great for repeatable methodologies
   • Saves time on setup for similar projects

Templates are just regular sessions that you can convert into reusable starting points. When you create a new session from a template, you get all the structure without the specific data - giving you a fresh start while maintaining your proven workflow! 🎯
