# AutoPwn

Exploit Pack has a feature called **AutoPwn** that can be used to automagically select the exploit needed like its name claims "Pwn" the target. While we always recommend using a more manual approach sometimes it becomes useful if you want to quickly try a few exploits, for instance. Always be aware of the risks of automated attacks. ‌ 

Also, have in mind that the filter to iterate over the XML files to select the exploits is pre-configured by ports, references or services running and it will first launch Nmap against the target to obtain these values. You must configure Nmap properly first, otherwise, AutoPwn will not work. 

‌In this example we are running AutoPwn against our local environment:

![](/files/-MdRayeYBIyEOGG59mlY)

Once you set up the properties for AutoPwn you can go ahead and click on "**Execute**", this will activate the whole process. First, it will launch Nmap against the selected target. After that, it will iterate over your exploit tree searching for a match for the attack type selected. If there is one, it will automatically launch it against the target, as shown in the following screenshot:

![](/files/-MUDMjY98sBbB3IHE-Hv)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://exploit-pack.gitbook.io/exploit-pack-manual-pages/master/autopwn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
