AI2PentestTool Installer

Skill by ara.so — Security Skills collection.

AI2PentestTool is an intelligent penetration testing tool installer that uses AI agents to automate the installation of 200+ security tools. It features intelligent retry mechanisms, error recovery, cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows), and works offline with built-in configurations when AI services are unavailable.

Adding Custom Tools

Edit config.py and add to the TOOLS_INFO dictionary:

TOOLS_INFO = {
    "your_tool": {
        "name": "your_tool",
        "description": "Tool description",
        "macos": "brew install your_tool",
        "linux": "apt update && apt install -y your_tool",
        "windows": "https://download-link.com",
        "verify_command": "your_tool --version",
        "category": "Network Scanning"
    }
}

Environment Variables

# Required for AI-powered installation plans (optional)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

# Optional: Configure proxy for network requests
export https_proxy="http://proxy:port"
export http_proxy="http://proxy:port"

Python API Usage

Using the AIAgent Class

from ai_agent import AIAgent
from config import Config
import os

# Initialize AI agent
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
agent = AIAgent(api_key=api_key)

# Get AI-powered installation plan
tool_info = Config.TOOLS_INFO["nmap"]
plan = agent.get_installation_plan("nmap", tool_info)

if plan:
    print(f"AI Plan: {plan}")
else:
    # Fallback to predefined plan
    import platform
    os_type = platform.system().lower()
    if os_type == "darwin":
        print(f"Fallback: {tool_info['macos']}")
    elif os_type == "linux":
        print(f"Fallback: {tool_info['linux']}")

Using the ToolInstaller Class

from tool_installer import ToolInstaller
import os

# Initialize installer
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
installer = ToolInstaller(api_key=api_key)

# Install a single tool
success = installer.install_tool("nmap")
if success:
    print("Installation successful!")

# Batch install tools
tools = ["nmap", "sqlmap", "gobuster"]
for tool in tools:
    installer.install_tool(tool)

# List installed tools
installed = installer.list_installed_tools()
print(f"Installed tools: {installed}")

Programmatic Installation with Error Handling

from tool_installer import ToolInstaller
from config import Config
import os
import logging

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)

# Initialize installer
installer = ToolInstaller(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

# Install tools with error handling
tools_to_install = ["nmap", "sqlmap", "nikto", "gobuster"]
results = {}

for tool in tools_to_install:
    try:
        print(f"\n Installing {tool}...")
        success = installer.install_tool(tool)
        results[tool] = "SUCCESS" if success else "FAILED"
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f"Error installing {tool}: {e}")
        results[tool] = "ERROR"

# Summary report
print("\n=== Installation Summary ===")
for tool, status in results.items():
    print(f"{tool}: {status}")

Common Patterns

Creating Custom Tool Lists

# Create a tool list file programmatically
tools = ["nmap", "masscan", "sqlmap", "nikto", "gobuster"]

with open("custom_tools.txt", "w") as f:
    f.write("\n".join(tools))

# Install from the file
import subprocess
subprocess.run(["python", "main.py", "install-file", "custom_tools.txt"])

Checking Tool Installation Status

from tool_installer import ToolInstaller
import subprocess

installer = ToolInstaller()

# Check if a specific tool is installed
def is_tool_installed(tool_name):
    try:
        result = subprocess.run(
            ["which", tool_name],
            capture_output=True,
            text=True
        )
        return result.returncode == 0
    except Exception:
        return False

# Verify installation
tools = ["nmap", "sqlmap", "gobuster"]
for tool in tools:
    status = "✓" if is_tool_installed(tool) else "✗"
    print(f"{status} {tool}")

Batch Installation with Progress Tracking

from tool_installer import ToolInstaller
from config import Config
import os

installer = ToolInstaller(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

# Get all available tools
all_tools = list(Config.TOOLS_INFO.keys())
total = len(all_tools)

# Install with progress
for idx, tool in enumerate(all_tools, 1):
    print(f"\n[{idx}/{total}] Installing {tool}...")
    success = installer.install_tool(tool)
    status = "✓" if success else "✗"
    print(f"{status} {tool} - {'Success' if success else 'Failed'}")

Workflow Examples

AI-Powered Installation (Recommended)

from ai_agent import AIAgent
from tool_installer import ToolInstaller
from config import Config
import os

# 1. Set up AI agent
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
if not api_key:
    print("Warning: No API key set, using offline mode")

installer = ToolInstaller(api_key=api_key)

# 2. AI analyzes environment and generates plan
# 3. Executes installation commands
# 4. Verifies installation
# 5. Records results to tools_config.json

success = installer.install_tool("sqlmap")

Offline Mode (No API Key)

from tool_installer import ToolInstaller

# Works without OPENAI_API_KEY
installer = ToolInstaller()

# Uses predefined installation commands from config.py
installer.install_tool("nmap")

Troubleshooting

AI Query Failures

from ai_agent import AIAgent
import os

agent = AIAgent(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

# The agent automatically retries 3 times with 2-second intervals
# If all retries fail, it returns None and falls back to predefined plans
plan = agent.get_installation_plan("nmap", tool_info)

if plan is None:
    print("AI unavailable, using predefined installation plan")

Permission Issues

# Linux: Use sudo for system-wide installation
sudo python main.py install nmap

# macOS: Homebrew usually doesn't need sudo
python main.py install nmap

# Check logs for permission errors
tail -f logs/installation_*.log

Network Connection Issues

import subprocess
import os

# Set proxy if needed
os.environ["https_proxy"] = "http://proxy:8080"
os.environ["http_proxy"] = "http://proxy:8080"

# Test connectivity
def test_network():
    try:
        subprocess.run(
            ["curl", "-I", "https://api.openai.com"],
            timeout=5,
            check=True
        )
        return True
    except Exception:
        return False

if not test_network():
    print("Network issue detected, check proxy settings")

Package Manager Issues

# macOS: Update Homebrew
brew update && brew doctor

# Linux: Update APT
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

# Check package manager lock
ps aux | grep -i apt

Viewing Logs

import glob
import os

# Find latest log file
log_files = glob.glob("logs/installation_*.log")
if log_files:
    latest_log = max(log_files, key=os.path.getctime)
    print(f"Latest log: {latest_log}")
    
    # Read last 20 lines
    with open(latest_log, "r") as f:
        lines = f.readlines()
        print("".join(lines[-20:]))

Configuration Files

tools_config.json

Automatically generated file tracking installed tools:

{
  "nmap": {
    "name": "nmap",
    "description": "Network discovery and security audit tool",
    "path": "/usr/local/bin/nmap",
    "installed_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00",
    "version": "7.94"
  }
}

Custom Installation Plans

# Modify config.py to customize installation behavior
from config import Config

# Add new tool category
Config.TOOLS_INFO["custom_tool"] = {
    "name": "custom_tool",
    "description": "My custom security tool",
    "macos": "brew install custom_tool",
    "linux": "apt install -y custom_tool",
    "windows": "https://custom-tool.com/download",
    "verify_command": "custom_tool --version",
    "category": "Custom Category"
}

Best Practices

1. Use AI Mode: Set OPENAI_API_KEY for intelligent installation plans
2. Check Logs: Monitor logs/installation_*.log for detailed diagnostics
3. Verify Installation: Always check tool versions after installation
4. Backup Configuration: Save tools_config.json before major changes
5. Network Stability: Ensure stable connection; the system handles temporary failures
6. Permission Management: Use sudo only when prompted by the installer
