ChatOps, a concept originating from Github, is chatroom-driven DevOps
for distributed teams, using chatbots (like Hubot) to execute custom
scripts and plugins. We have applied the concept of ChatOps to the
penetration testing workflow, and found that it fits outstandingly – for
everything from routine scanning to spearphishing to pentest
gamification. This talk discusses the tools that we use (RocketChat,
Hubot, Gitlab, pentesting tools), and provides battle stories of using
Pentesting ChatOps in practice.
