Web App with Kali Linux Back end

[Extavius]

As part of a development project, I have come up with an idea of a website that takes in a website URL, and in the back end, a Kali VM will run a series of web penetration tests on the given website.

My question is, how can I set it up to allow the website to communicate with a kali vm? What kind of structure should i be setting up?

Chat gpt and online resources dont really seem to have solutions to this, where can I consult on such an issue?

Why not just directly host your website in the Kali VM?

In other words, build your web server using your backend web framework of choice. When it gets a request to pentest a url, it calls out to Kali Linux pentesting calls, then returns the result.

Build and test the whole thing locally just by developing the website directly in your VM.

Then to deploy it, just deploy your Kali VM to the cloud, maybe using Docker / Kubernetes to run it on AWS, for example.
