Phantom Tool Mastery Report (Defense Perspective)
Author: Vega (Defense) Date: 2026-07-25 Source: Analysis of lib/tools.mjs and runtime tool registry
1. File Structure Analysis (lib/tools.mjs)
Tool registration: Central hackerTools object mapping names to async handler functions Handler types: Shell wrappers (nmap sqlmap ffuf), JavaScript-native (ssl_check dns_lookup jwt_decode), Hybrid (web_fetch http_headers) Configuration: API keys from process.env via env.mjs Security features: Scope enforcement, target sanitization, timeouts, unified error wrapping
2. Tool Category Summary (130+ Tools)

3. Input Pattern Conventions
Domain-only (no http://): dns_lookup whois ssl_check sub_enum sub_takeover cert_expiry Full URL (https://): http_headers crawl cors_test xss_scan sql_detect open_redirect web_fetch Absolute paths: file_analyze file_read file_write file_edit code_analyze yara Pipe syntax: @tool|arg1|arg2 (one per line, no commas)
4. Security Monitoring Workflows
Alert Triage Pipeline
- whois -> geoip -> dns_lookup
- http_headers -> ssl_check -> cert_expiry -> cors_test
- port_scan -> dns_zone -> sub_enum
- nuclei or vuln_scan
- file_analyze -> vt_check -> code_analyze
- report_save
Continuous Monitoring
schedule daily cert_expiry schedule hourly http_headers schedule 6h ssl_check cron cve_daily
Threat Hunting
gau -> wayback -> js_analyze -> web_links -> fuzz -> github_dork
5. Identified Gaps and Improvement Suggestions
Priority High: Log aggregation (log_ingest) Priority High: SIEM correlation (correlate) Priority Medium: IOC feed ingestion (ioc_feed) Priority Medium: Certificate transparency monitoring (ct_monitor) Priority Medium: Baseline comparison (diff_scan) Priority Medium: Threat intel enrichment (enrich_ioc) Priority Medium: Packet capture (pcap) Priority Low: Automated blocking (block_ip) Priority Low: Compliance checks (cis_audit) Priority Low: Memory forensics (volatility)
6. Conclusion
Phantom provides 130+ tools across 11 categories with proper security enforcement (scope, sanitization, timeouts, error handling). Top 5 defensive enhancements: 1) Log ingestion 2) SIEM correlation 3) IOC feeds 4) Certificate transparency 5) Baseline comparison.
