Overview

The HackerBuddyGUI is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built with Python for

cybersecurity practitioners. It provides a versatile toolset to facilitate various security-related tasks,

including:

- User authentication

- Running system commands

- Managing custom modules

- Integrating with popular security tools

- Utilizing ChatGPT for cybersecurity queries

The application is designed with usability in mind while maintaining a focus on secure user

authentication and data encryption.

Core Functionalities

User Authentication

- Allows user login and registration.

- Uses encryption and password hashing to store user data securely.

- Supports role-based functionality for future role-based access control (RBAC).

Command Shell

- Enables execution of system commands directly from the GUI.

- Displays command output or error messages for easy troubleshooting.

Module Management

- Provides an interface for loading and running custom modules (future implementation planned).

- Allows input for target host, username, and password for use by custom modules.

Security Tools Integration

- Integrates with popular security tools such as:

- Nmap

- Burp Suite

- Metasploit

- John the Ripper

- Nikto

- SQLMap

- Hydra

- Aircrack-ng

- OWASP ZAP

- Supports setting targets and executing commands via the GUI.

- Displays tool output and error handling.

Active Sessions Management

- Displays active sessions and supports future implementation of session persistence.

ChatGPT Integration

- Allows communication with HackerBuddyGPT using OpenAI's ChatGPT.

- Supports querying for cybersecurity-related tasks and retrieving responses directly within the GUI.

Technical Details

User Authentication

- User data is encrypted using the cryptography library (Fernet encryption).

- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt for secure storage.

- User roles are stored and can be used for RBAC implementation.

Encryption and Security

- A symmetric encryption key is generated and stored securely in secret.key.

- The application encrypts user data when saving and decrypts it when loading.

- Hashing passwords with bcrypt ensures security in case of a data breach.

Logging and Error Handling

- A logging system tracks significant events and errors, outputting to hacker_buddy.log.

- Error messages are displayed to users via the GUI for clear communication.

OpenAI ChatGPT Integration

- Uses the openai library to integrate ChatGPT.

- Requires an API key for accessing OpenAI's services.

- Communication is managed with the openai.ChatCompletion API for sending and receiving

messages.

Tool Execution and Management

- Pre-defined commands for various tools are executed using the subprocess module.

- Supports selecting targets and running commands with output displayed in the GUI.

- Error handling for command failures provides user feedback on issues.

Setup Instructions

System Requirements

- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux.

- Python Version: Python 3.6 or newer.

Prerequisite Libraries

Install the required Python libraries:

pip install bcrypt openai cryptography

On some Linux systems, tkinter may need to be installed separately:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

Setting Up the OpenAI API Key

1. Obtain an API key from OpenAI's website.

2. Set the API key in the script or configure it as an environment variable.

Running the Application

Execute the script:

python hacker_buddy_gui.py

Permissions

Some tools may require elevated privileges. Run the script as an administrator or root as needed.

- Nmap: Installation varies by OS.

- Metasploit: Follow installation instructions on the official site.

- Other Tools: Make sure tools like Nikto, SQLMap, and Hydra are installed.

Network Configuration

Ensure network access for the OpenAI API is not blocked.

Virtual Environment Setup

Create a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with system packages.
