Current Octopwn version: v2.1 (6-April 2025)
Current closed beta: Octopwn Binary v0.1 (6-April 2025)
Currently in development: Improved automations, tutorials, more attacks and scanners

Release notes for v2.1:

New scanners:
- SSHLOGIN: Checks if user can login
- MSSQLLOGIN: Checks if user can login
- FTPLOGIN: Checks if user can login
- MSSQLFINGER: Gets basic NTLM information
- MSSQLPIPE: It's actually an SMB scanner that checks if servers expose MSSQL pipes
- MSSQLQUERY: Performs MSSQL query on multiple targets
- HTTPHEADER: Fetches HTTP(S) headers from targets

New clients:
- MSSQL
- FTP

Added new snaffler utility:
- besides the core snaffler feature this module can use LLMs via ollama to automatically parse and create new credentials found during a snaffling run

Added Octopwn core callbacks: - target creation callback
- credential creation callback
- port creation callbacks
- session creation callbacks
These callbacks can be used to automate octopwn via already existing or user-defined modules.

Added autoscan utility:
- automatically use built-in (or custom) scanner modules against newlty created targets and/or newly discovered ports which match the pre-set triggerport of any scanner.

Target ports are now merged when an existing target is added with ports which have not seen before

Improved remote control modules

Changing session file password now automatically performs a save immediately to actualize the password change on disk.

Improved plugin system:
- The plugin system received some improvements, and we're providing "header" files for octopwn which can be used in vscode/visual studio to help plugin developement.

Bug fixes:
- UI bug fixed: the starter modal's start button could be pressed mutiple times which caused multiple octopwn instances to start in paralel. Now it's been fixed.

Pyodide upgrade:
- We moved from Pyodide version 0.24 to 0.27. This change means considerable speed improrovements and fixes many stability issues.
