Description
BeEF is short for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a penetration testing tool that
focuses on the web browser.
Amid growing concerns about web-borne attacks against clients, including mobile clients,
BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the actual security posture of a target
environment by using client-side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, BeEF looks
past the hardened network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the
context of the one open door: the web browser. BeEF will hook one or more web browsers and
use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and further attacks against
the system from within the browser context.
