AKCodez/hackingtool-plugin

What it solves

This plugin bridges the gap between AI and cybersecurity by giving Claude direct access to 183 professional pentesting and OSINT tools. It removes the manual effort of installing, configuring, and managing these tools, allowing you to run complex security tasks like vulnerability scanning or recon simply by asking Claude to do them.

How it works

The plugin acts as a smart wrapper around the popular hackingtool project. When you give Claude a command, it uses a backend controller to:

1. Select the environment: It automatically detects if it should run the tool natively (Linux/macOS), via WSL (Windows), or inside a pre-configured Docker container.
2. Manage dependencies: It uses purpose-built Docker images for most tools, ensuring they run cleanly without needing manual setup or dependency management.
3. Execute and report: It runs the requested tool, handles retries if permissions are missing, and returns the output directly to you in the chat.

Who it’s for

This tool is designed for security researchers, penetration testers, and developers who want to automate security workflows, reconnaissance, and vulnerability assessments using Claude as an interface.

Highlights

• Massive Library: Access to 183 specialized tools covering categories like OSINT, web attacks, wireless testing, and forensics.
• Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL or Docker).
• Zero-Setup Execution: Automatically pulls and runs optimized Docker containers for tools, avoiding "dependency hell."
• Claude-Integrated: Allows for natural language commands like "scan my repo for vulnerabilities" or "recon example.com."
