Kali Linux Automation Toolkit — 145 Bash & Python Scripts

The Kali Linux Automation Toolkit is a curated collection of 145 Bash and Python scripts for local system administration, network reconnaissance, defensive monitoring, vulnerability scanning and security hardening. Every script is small, readable and focused on a single job — and you can copy any of them straight from this page.

It is built for a Linux or Kali environment and is strictly for education and authorised security testing. Only run these scripts against systems you own or have explicit written permission to test.

What's inside

How to use a script

1. Pick a module above and open it.
2. Find the script you need in the table — click its name to read the full source on GitHub.
3. Use the COPY CODE button on any code block to copy it.
4. Save it locally, make it executable with chmod +x script.sh and run it. Read the comments first.

Safety and ethics

Several scripts change system state — firewall rules, kernel parameters, MAC addresses and package sources. Review them before running, and never execute them on a production system without a tested rollback plan. Unauthorised scanning or access of systems you do not own is illegal in most jurisdictions.

Sample script

subnet_mask_parser.py — CIDR / subnet calculator

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
subnet_mask_parser.py
Day 12: System and Network Enumeration

Description:
    A technical utility to parse CIDR notation and calculate network parameters.
    This script provides the network ID, broadcast address, valid host range, 
    and total host capacity, which are critical for network segmentation auditing.

Cybersecurity Principle:
    Understanding network boundaries is the first step in "Least Privilege" network 
    design and is essential for identifying unauthorized subnets during enumeration.
