# Tool Access Expansion - Complete Documentation

## Overview

All 525+ Kali Linux tools are now fully accessible through both the **Sandbox** and **PowerShell** interfaces.

## Sandbox Access

### Configuration

- **Total Allowed Tools**: 525 tools
- **Security Model**: Namespace isolation (user, PID, network)
- **Resource Limits**: 512MB RAM, 50% CPU, 300s timeout
- **Tool Filtering**: Whitelist-based (all 525 tools whitelisted)

### How to Use Sandbox

1. Navigate to **🐧 Linux Sandbox** tab in the UI
2. Create a new session or use existing session ID
3. Enter any command using the allowed tools
4. Execute and view results in real-time

### Example Commands

```bash

# Information Gathering

nmap -sV -p- target.com

masscan -p1-65535 192.168.1.0/24

recon-ng



# Vulnerability Analysis

nikto -h target.com

sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --dbs

wpscan --url target.com



# Web Testing

dirb http://target.com /usr/share/dirb/wordlists/common.txt

gobuster dir -u http://target.com -w wordlist.txt



# Password Attacks

hydra -l admin -P passwords.txt target.com ssh

john hashes.txt --wordlist=wordlist.txt

hashcat -m 1000 hashes.txt wordlist.txt



# Network Tools

wireshark -i eth0

tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap

## Security Considerations

### Sandbox Isolation

- **User Namespace**: Tools run as unprivileged user
- **Network Isolation**: No outbound network by default
- **Filesystem Isolation**: Read-only root, restricted write paths
- **Process Limits**: Max 20 processes, 512MB memory
- **Timeout**: 5 minute default, 1 hour maximum

### PowerShell Security

- **Execution Policy**: RemoteSigned
- **No Telemetry**: PowerShell telemetry disabled
- **Output Capture**: All output captured and logged
- **Resource Limits**: 1GB memory, 75% CPU, 10 minute timeout

## Limitations

### Sandbox

- Network tools require outbound access (disabled by default)
- Some tools may require special privileges
- DNS queries are disabled by default
- File size limits: 100MB per file

### PowerShell

- Requires PowerShell 7+ for cross-platform support
- Some Windows-specific tools require Windows
- Linux tools require installation on system
- Timeout on long-running operations

## Troubleshooting

### Tool Not Found

**Problem**: "Tool 'X' not found in PATH"
**Solution**:

1. Check tool is installed: `which <tool>`
2. Add to PATH if needed
3. Use full path to tool binary

### Permission Denied

**Problem**: "Permission denied" error
**Solution**:

1. Check user has execute permissions
2. Run from sandbox with appropriate user
3. Check file ownership

### Timeout

**Problem**: "Script timed out"
**Solution**:

1. Increase timeout value
2. Optimize tool parameters
3. Run simpler scans first

## Performance Tips

1. **Use specific port ranges** instead of full scans
2. **Parallel tools** in PowerShell for faster execution
3. **Pre-filter targets** before scanning
4. **Use lightweight tools** for initial reconnaissance
5. **Cache results** when running repeated scans

## Next Steps

1. **Explore Tools**: Navigate to UI and test Sandbox and PowerShell tabs
2. **Create Sessions**: Set up persistent sandbox sessions for workflows
3. **Automate**: Build repeatable security processes with scripts
4. **Integrate**: Connect to HuggingChat via MCP for AI-assisted testing
5. **Monitor**: Track tool execution and results in real-time
