OSX CTF Ready

This repository makes your Mac OSX system ready for ctfs. It contains a collection of the most popular tools in the pentesting space.

The install.sh script turns your macos into a kali-like hackstation. Besides the tools of the kali-tools-top10 metapackage many other tools are installed, which are used in conventional CTFs on platforms like HackTheBox or TryHackMe.

In addition, the repo combines many scripts in the area of priveledge escalation and enumeration in one central place, so that you do not have to search for all the scripts individually.

I wrote an article on medium about the repository in which everything is explained in detail: https://medium.com/@seitzmanuel/how-to-get-your-mac-osx-ready-for-playing-ctfs-hacking-6b6801250d1e

Installation Info

The others:

Script	Location
tokenbreaker	jwt
jwt-cracker	jwt/jwt-cracker
linkfinder	misc/linkfinder
hash-id	misc
basic-scanner.py	misc
string_finder	misc
hydra_builder	misc

john (John The Ripper): by default john is installed via homebrew. Therefore only the john binary is installed and not the jumbo pack. So tools like zip2john or ssh2john are missing. Furthermore the "brew-john" binary does not support multithreading via OpenMP. To install John with OpenMP support, read my blog post: https://medium.com/@seitzmanuel/how-to-compile-john-the-ripper-on-mac-osx-with-openmp-support-multicore-big-sur-a60cad850b7d Dont forget to comment john out in the sh file if you are going to install it from source.
