OffensiveSET

Offensive Security Dataset Generator — An MCP server that generates high-quality, multi-turn pentesting conversation datasets for fine-tuning security-focused LLMs.

Built for training models like Qwen3.5 to think and act like professional penetration testers.

What It Does

OffensiveSET generates realistic penetration testing conversations in ShareGPT/ChatML JSONL format. Each entry is a complete pentest engagement — from reconnaissance to exploitation to professional reporting — with:

• Multi-turn conversations (8-15 turns) following real pentester workflows
• Chain-of-thought reasoning via <think> blocks modeling how pentesters analyze attack surfaces
• Realistic tool outputs — unique nmap scans, sqlmap dumps, nuclei findings per entry (no duplicates)
• Failure cases — blocked attacks, WAF bypasses, honeypot detection, and pivoting strategies
• Professional reports — CVSS scoring, CWE references, evidence PoCs, and secure code remediation
• Qwen3.5 native format — observation role, <tool_call> tags, inline <think> reasoning

Quick Start

Install & Setup

git clone https://github.com/PentesterFlow/OffensiveSET.git
cd OffensiveSET
npm install
npm run build

Claude Code (CLI) — Quickest Setup

# Add the MCP server (run from inside the cloned repo)
claude mcp add offensiveset node $(pwd)/dist/index.js

# Verify
claude mcp list

# Start using it
claude

Claude Desktop (GUI)

Open your MCP config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this block (update the path to where you cloned the repo):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "offensiveset": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USER/OffensiveSET/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 10 OffensiveSET tools will appear in the tools menu.

VS Code / JetBrains (Claude Code Extension)

# From the integrated terminal
claude mcp add offensiveset node /path/to/OffensiveSET/dist/index.js

Or add a .mcp.json to your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "offensiveset": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/OffensiveSET/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

One-Line Install (Clone + Build + Register)

git clone https://github.com/PentesterFlow/OffensiveSET.git && cd OffensiveSET && npm install && npm run build && claude mcp add offensiveset node $(pwd)/dist/index.js

Generate a Dataset

Once connected, ask Claude to use the tools:

> Generate a 5000 entry offensive security dataset with 60% thinking blocks

> List all available attack scenarios

> Preview a single entry for the NoSQL injection scenario

> Export my dataset to Qwen ChatML format

Or call tools directly:

generate_dataset_v2
  count: 5000
  thinking_ratio: 0.6
  failure_ratio: 0.35
  thinking_style: "inline"

Export for Training

export_for_training
  input_path: "./datasets/your_dataset.jsonl"
  output_format: "chatml_qwen"
