Terminal
Overview
The Terminal panel provides a native PTY-backed shell inside PentestPath.
Supported behavior includes:
- interactive terminal sessions
- ANSI color output
- resize handling
- copy and paste
- receiving commands from Arsenal for review before execution
- session-aware workflow without leaving the app
Licensing
Integrated terminal count is not a license differentiator in this release. Free and Pro can both open multiple terminal instances.

Practical usage
Use the integrated terminal when you want commands, notes, findings, and report writing to stay in a single desktop workflow.
When a contextual Arsenal card matches the selected node, send the command into the active terminal, edit the final arguments if needed, then press Enter to execute it.
Evidence capture
Terminal output can feed your evidence workflow. Use PentestPath's evidence tooling to keep important command output attached to the right finding or node.
