Security & Monitoring Scripts for Real-World IT Environments

Practical security and monitoring scripts designed by experts to validate, automate, and support real-world IT, network, and security operations.

Why Security Scripts

This section contains expert-designed scripts and logic patterns used to support monitoring, security, and operational workflows in real environments.

Monitoring & Visibility

Scripts designed to validate latency, availability, and network behavior before or alongside monitoring platforms.

Data Protection & User Activity

Logic patterns that help identify risky behavior, endpoint activity, and data movement scenarios.

IT Operations & Access Control

Scripts focused on user sessions, service health, and operational visibility across IT environments.

Vulnerability & Patch Management

Validation scripts to support asset discovery, patch readiness, and vulnerability assessment workflows.

Scripts provide insight – expertise turns insight into results

If you need help adapting or operationalizing these scripts within enterprise tools, expert guidance can significantly reduce risk.

A collection of security-related Python and Bash shell scripts, mainly revolving around testing hosts for security vulnerabilities. For the shell scripts, no fancy programming framework is required; all that is needed is a Bash shell.

Note that it is highly recommended to use analyze_hosts.py it as it is the most recent version. No new features will be added to the Bash version analyze_hosts.sh.

analyze_hosts is also available as a Docker image, including the open source scanners droopescannmapNikto and testssl.sh. Build it yourself using the supplied Dockerfile, or grab the image from Docker Hub

docker run --rm gofwd/analyze_hosts

You can also run the included tools that way; just override the entrypoint. As an example, run testssl.sh:

docker run --rm --entrypoint 'testssl.sh' gofwd/analyze_hosts
