If you need a specific feature, feel free to open an issue and I'll do my best.

Don't want to mess up your main OS with hacking tools? Tired of re-installing your tools in the official Kali container? Looking to get started with hacking with the ability to easily rollback! Then PwnBox is just for you! Get a fully working Kali container with SSH access within **minutes**!\n\nPwnBox is a helper script alongside a container that is based off Kali's official `kali-rolling` container, with extra tools installed and an SSH server setup. The setup is very modular, and can be easily adapted to add/remove tools.\n\nThe containers are built every week/release and are published to **Docker Hub** and **Github Container Registry**.\n\n## Features\n\n* A `zsh` shell with syntax highlighting, auto-suggesstions and more.\n* A fully modular setup allowing for any tool to be added with ease in future builds.\n* All tools installed are organized into their respective categories in `/opt/tools`.\n* Ever installed a tool through `apt` and forgot you did? Pwnbox keeps a list of all `apt` installed tools in `/opt/tools/CATEGORY/apt_tools.txt`.\n* An `ssh` server installed so you can run the container in the background and still access it with ease.\n* X11 forwarding so you can run GUI applications if needed.\n* Weekly builds ensure the latest version of all your favorite tools are installed.\n* A companion CLI tool ([pwnbox-cli](https://github.com/deadpackets/pwnbox-cli)) to make deploying, destroying and updating PwnBox really easy.\n* A persistent volume to exchange files with the host OS and persistent any data you need.\n* The option to specify a custom startup script for your own customization!\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### 1. Installing the PwnBox Command\n\nYou can easily install the `pwnbox` command to your system using the following command:\n\n```bash\npip install pwnbox # Python \u003e=3.6\n```\n\n### 2. Running PwnBox\n\nWith the command now installed, you can simply run `pwnbox` as shown:\n\n```bash\npwnbox up\n```\n\nThis will download the image if not available, bring up PwnBox container and SSH you in!\n\n### 3. Enjoy\n\nYou now have access to PwnBox! Remember:\n\n* Explore the installed tools in `/opt/tools`.\n* If you need persistent data or external access, store it in `/mnt/external` and access it on your host from `$HOME/.pwnbox/external`.\n* If you need a custom startup script, store it as `$HOME/.pwnbox/external/pwnbox_entrypoint.sh`.\n\n**NOTE:** If you are more interested in downloading and running the container manually, please check the related [wiki section](https://github.com/DeadPackets/pwnbox/wiki/Manual-Setup)\n\n## PwnBox Usage\n\nSee the usage at [pwnbox-cli](https://github.com/deadpackets/pwnbox-cli)\n\n## Repo Structure\n\n* `Dockerfile` - the file that builds the kali docker container.\n* `setup/` - this directory holds all files related to setting up the container.\n  * `setup.sh` - this is the main setup script.\n  * `tools/` - this directory contains all subcategories of tools and contains the setup scripts for each subcategory.\n* `ssh/` - this directory holds all files related to installing and setting up SSH inside the container. It includes static ssh keys.\n\n## Container Structure\n\n* `/opt/tools` - this directory contains all the tools installed.\n* `/mnt/external` - this directory is also persistent with every run, but is meant to exchange files between the container and the host.\n* `/opt/ssh` - this directory is used for ssh keys to be automatically imported into the container on launch.\n\n## Container Build Arguments\n\n* `NO_PIP_INSTALL=yes` to prevent the installation of python dependencies, reducing build time and container size.\n* `NO_PYTHON_INSTALL=yes`to prevent the running of `setup.py` to install python projects and their dependencies, reducing build time and container size.\n* `NO_WORDLIST=yes` to prevent downloading any wordlists, like SecLists.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### What happens to all the tools I install in the container?\n\nUnless those tools are stored in the `/mnt/external` volume, they will be gone once the container is started up again or upgraded. Additionally, any libraries/dependencies not installed in `/mnt/external` will also be gone.\n\n### Why is tool X or Y not included?\n\nFeel free to open Pull Requests with the tool(s) you want to be included! I will review and most likely approve your PR. If not, feel free to just fork and add whatever tools you would like.\n\n## Contributions\n\nPRs are more than welcome! Fix bugs, add features, improve build times, improve container size or anything else. I will gladly merge them once I have reviewed them.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDeadPackets%2Fpwnbox","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FDeadPackets%2Fpwnbox","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDeadPackets%2Fpwnbox/lists"}
