Vimana: A brief introduction

The genesis of the tool

The idea for the tool came up in 2010 during an intrusion test where (in those typical scenarios without many relevant vulnerabilities) I found numerous IPs on the internal network, with some python applications also exposed to the internet running with Django framework, WSGI and Flask, some with DEBUG true, well, it was a scenario with a lot of relevant information that could enable me to compromise the company's internal communication channels, services and developer accounts. However, I was unable, within the stipulated period, to analyze, collect and test everything that was leaked, so (in the height of despair) I imagined a ship abducting all that and putting together a report to save the project, but I didn't have one dedicated to such a purpose, so I decided to start a new one in the way I imagined.

About the name

According to Sanskrit texts the ancients had several types of airships called vimanas. These vehicles were used to fly through the air from city to city; to conduct aerial surveys of uncharted lands; and as delivery vehicles for awesome weapons.
