# ctf-tools [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/zardus/ctf-tools.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/zardus/ctf-tools) [![IRC](https://img.shields.io/badge/freenode-%23ctf--tools-green.svg)](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ctf-tools) This is a collection of setup scripts to create an install of various security research tools. Of course, this isn't a hard problem, but it's really nice to have them in one place that's easily deployable to new machines and so forth. The install-scripts for these tools are checked regularly, the results can be found on [the build status page](_buildstatus/index.md).

One exception to this are python tools, which are installed using the `pip` package manager if possible. A `ctftools` virtualenv is created during the `manage-tools setup` command and can be accessed using the command `workon ctftools`. ## Help! Something not working? I didn't write (almost) any of these tools, but hit up [#ctf-tools on freenode](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ctf-tools) if you're desperate. Maybe some kind soul will help! ## Docker (version 1.7+) By popular demand, a Dockerfile has been included. You can build a docker image with: ```bash git clone https://github.com/zardus/ctf-tools docker build -t ctf-tools . ``` And run it with: ```bash docker run -it ctf-tools ``` The built image will have ctf-tools cloned and ready to go, but you will still need to install the tools themselves (see above). Alternatively, you can also pull ctf-tools (with some tools preinstalled) from dockerhub: ```bash docker run -it zardus/ctf-tools ``` ## Vagrant You can build a Vagrant VM with: ```bash wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zardus/ctf-tools/master/Vagrantfile vagrant up ``` And connect to it via: ```bash vagrant ssh ``` ## Kali Linux Kali Linux (Sana and Rolling), due to manually setting certain libraries to not use the latest version available (sometimes being out of date by years) causes some tools to not install at all, or fail in strange ways. AFL and Panda comes to mind, in fact any tool that uses QEMU 2.30 will probably fail during compilation under Kali. Overriding these libraries breaks other tools included in Kali so your only solution is to either live with some of Kali's tools being broken, or running another distribution seperately such as Ubuntu. Most tools aren't affected though. ## Adding Tools To add a tool (say, named *toolname*), do the following: 1. Create a `toolname` directory. 2. Create an `install` script. 3. (optional) if special uninstall steps are required, create an `uninstall` script. ### Install Scripts The install script will be run with `$PWD` being `toolname`. It should install the tool into this directory, in as contained a manner as possible. Ideally, full uninstallation should be possible with a `git clean`. The install script should create a `bin` directory and put its executables there. These executables will be automatically linked into the main `bin` directory for the repo. They could be launched from any directory, so don't make assumptions about the location of `$0`! ## License The individual tools are all licensed under their own licenses. As for ctf-tools itself, it is "starware". If you find it useful, star it on github (https://github.com/zardus/ctf-tools). Good luck! # See Also There's a curated list of CTF tools, but without installers, here: https://github.com/apsdehal/aWEsoMe-cTf. There's a Vagrant config with a lot of the bigger frameworks here: https://github.com/thebarbershopper/epictreasure. ## Tools in the official Debian/Ubuntu repos These tools are present in the Debian or Ubuntu repos (in an adequately new version). They're not included in ctf-tools, but are included here as notes for the author. | Category | Package | Description | Package | |----------|---------|-------------|---------| | forensics | [foremost](http://foremost.sourceforge.net/) | File carver. | `foremost` | | dsniff | [dsniff](http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/) | Grabs passwords and other data from pcaps/network streams. | dsniff | | stego | [pngtools](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pngtools) | PNG's analysis tool. | ## Tools with unofficial Debian/Ubuntu repos or debs | Category | Package | Description | Repo/deb | |----------|---------|-------------|----------| | stego | [sound-visualizer](http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/) | Audio file visualization. | [deb](http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/download.html) |
