There are you can find them on github. The real issue isn't why doesn't x
software exist, but rather, what attack surface area are you exposing by
turning such a web app/ admin panel on.

I suppose there is very little harm if you are turning on and off access to
such web apps when you aren't using them. However, these sorts of tools
make for a very low hanging fruit. Metaspolit and nmap go to town on such
web apps.

Every time I look at my system logs, I notice tons of wp-admin, phpmyadmin,
and joomla/drupal login attempts. I don't run any of the above mentioned
software on any of my servers, yet see a lot of automated log in attempts.
