It includes several additional toolkits pre-installed as well and is compatible with Linux/Mac/Windows. \n\n## Key Features\n\n- **Pre-installed Toolkits**: Comes with a wide array of security tools from Parrot Security OS, ready out of the box as well as several additional security/hacking tools.\n- **X11 Forwarding**: Supports X11 forwarding with VNC using fluxbox to run GUI applications in a headless setup.\n- **GitHub Codespaces**: Effortlessly set up in a cloud environment with GitHub Codespaces, enabling cloud-based hacking without hassle.\n- **Cross-Platform**: Works out of the box with Linux/Mac/Windows.\n\n## Prerequisites\n- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (Version 20.10 or later)\n- [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) with [Dev Containers Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)\n- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)\n- [RealVNC Viewer - Lite](https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/) [optional]\n\n## Setup\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/simonthorell/ctf-parrot-env.git\n   ```\n\n2. **Ensure Docker is running** on your local machine:\n    - Using Linux, start Docker using terminal.\n    ```bash\n    sudo systemctl start docker\n    ```\n    - Using Mac/Windows, start the Docker desktop deamon.\n\n3. **Open the project in VSCode:**\n   ```bash\n   cd ctf-parrot-env\n   code .\n   ```\n\n4. **Rebuild in Container:**\n   - Open the Command Palette (`CMD+Shift+P` on Mac, `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows/Linux).\n   - Type and select `Remote-Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container`. \n\n   *Note! VS Code may automatically ask you to Rebuild and Reopen in container.*\n\n5. **Open RealVNC Viewer** on your local machine:\n    - Sign in to your RealVNC account (or create a new account) to get Lite/Free version.\n    - Connect to `localhost:5901`.\n    - Enter Password: `parrot` *(or as defined in Dockerfile)*.\n    - In the VS-code terminal, run `xeyes` or `ghidraRun` to make sure the X11 VNC forwarding is working for GUI applications as we are running a headless version of parrot OS.\n\n## Included Tools\n*List in progress!*\n\n## Contribution\nContributions are welcome. Please fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.\n\n## License\nDistributed under the MIT License.
