Security News > 2024 > January > Faction: Open-source pentesting report generation and collaboration framework

Faction is an open-source solution that enables pentesting report generation and assessment collaboration.

Josh Summitt, the creator of Faction, has always disliked the process of writing reports, preferring to focus on uncovering bugs.

A key frustration for him was the redundant step of using a separate note-taking app for storing screenshots and findings before compiling the final report.

He envisioned an integrated solution where the report generation tool would serve as the note-taking platform, incorporating all the standard templates typically used in reports.

He hopes Faction will help others save time, reduce stress, and improve their information security workflow.

The developer is currently working on enhancing the extendability of Faction by introducing a full app store, reminiscent of those found in platforms like Slack and Burp.
