Dradis
Dradis is a collaboration tool for penetration testing that simplifies reporting and team coordination. It helps combine scanner outputs and ensures consistent assessment quality.
Description
Dradis is an open-source project released in 2007, refined over a decade by security professionals worldwide. It helps penetration testers spend more time testing and less time reporting by providing a centralized platform for collaboration.
The tool ensures consistent quality across assessments and enables combining outputs from favorite scanners into a unified framework. This makes it ideal for team-based engagements where multiple testers need to share findings efficiently.
Dradis serves as a self-hosted web application accessible via localhost, facilitating real-time collaboration during penetration testing projects.
How It Works
Dradis operates as a Ruby-based web application served through Bundler on port 3000 (http://127.0.0.1:3000 and http://[::1]:3000). It is managed as a systemd service (dradis.service) that can be started and stopped using dedicated control scripts. The platform provides a web interface for importing scanner outputs, organizing findings, and generating reports through a centralized database backend.
