What do you mean by manually? There are several tools used for penitration testing each with a specific purpose.

For example, if you wanted to access a secure wifi network you may use a particular tool but if you wanted to break a password you would use another.

Beyond tools there are also specific techniques used to penitrate SQL databases etc..

I purposely have been vague and not named the tools and techniques for doing this.

That being said, there is a certain live linux distribution that starts with K and ends with ALI which has alot of pentest tools pre installed and I see no reason why you couldn't write a Bash script to "automate" things.
