| # 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) |
| |
| ### Reconnaissance and OSINT (21 tools) |
| dns_lookup sub_enum whois geoip reverse_dns shodan_search wayback email_verify email_breach github_dork recon crawl web_links web_snapshot whatweb wafw00f httpx subfinder amass gau cloud_enum |
| |
| ### Web Application Security (25 tools) |
| http_headers ssl_check cert_expiry cors_test http_methods robots_txt dir_bruteforce fuzz ffuf gobuster gospider katana sql_detect xss_scan open_redirect upload_test rate_limit_test nuclei nikto arjun sqlmap wafw00f js_analyze browser_auto web_form |
| |
| ### Network Security (8 tools) |
| port_scan nmap masscan dns_zone dnsx hydra bruteforce sub_takeover |
|
|
| ### Cryptography and Encoding (6 tools) |
| hash decode jwt_decode hash_crack ssl_check cert_expiry |
|
|
| ### Forensics and Malware Analysis (5 tools) |
| file_analyze vt_check yara code_analyze trufflehog |
| |
| ### Exploitation Awareness - Defensive (7 tools) |
| hydra sqlmap ffuf gobuster nuclei pwn vuln_scan |
|
|
| ### Self-Improvement and Evolution (11 tools) |
| self_info self_read self_edit self_add_tool self_integrate self_improve self_evolve knowledge_add learn_book learn_url brain |
| |
| ### Orchestration and Multi-Agent (11 tools) |
| delegate fanout parallel synthesize scope schedule cron project_create project_list project_info project_note project_switch agent_memory session_save session_load workspace_write workspace_read |
| |
| ### Reporting and Output (6 tools) |
| report_save report_export file_write file_edit notify synthesize |
| |
| ### Browser and Interaction (6 tools) |
| web_search web_fetch browser_auto web_click web_form youtube_summarize |
| |
| ### External Tool Integrations (22 tools) |
| nmap sqlmap hydra ffuf gobuster nuclei katana subfinder httpx amass gau dnsx gitleaks s3scanner whatweb wafw00f trufflehog masscan nikto arjun gospider cloud_enum |
|
|
| ## 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 |
| 1. whois -> geoip -> dns_lookup |
| 2. http_headers -> ssl_check -> cert_expiry -> cors_test |
| 3. port_scan -> dns_zone -> sub_enum |
| 4. nuclei or vuln_scan |
| 5. file_analyze -> vt_check -> code_analyze |
| 6. 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. |
