Import & Export
Current package format
PentestPath uses .ptpx as the current session package format.
A .ptpx export is used to:
- back up a session
- move a session to another machine
- share work through a controlled file transfer
What gets packaged
At a high level, PentestPath exports:
- session state
- related assets
- report content
- findings and evidence data associated with the session
Current compatibility notes
.ptpxis the main current format- legacy
.ptpimport may still be present for backward compatibility - encrypted
.ptpx.encworkflows are not the default current path in the public product docs
Best practices
- export before major upgrades
- export before vault reset operations
- keep backups before trying Team Mode or environment migrations
