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

This installation requires wget, homebrew, pipx, pip and python >= 3.8 (recommended & tested on 3.8). Install the requirements in the same order as listed here.

  xcode-select --install

  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  brew update

For safe install download installer via https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/ alternatively (not tested):

  brew install [email protected]

  wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
  python3 get-pip.py

export <home_directory>/.local/bin to your path if its missing

  python3 -m pip install pipx
  ln -s <path_to_your_python_versions>/3.8/bin/pipx /usr/local/bin/pipx # for example /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/pipx

Reboot after installation !important!

  brew install wget

Steghide require a manual installation steps due to the installation of mac ports

1. Download and install mac ports https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html
2. add /opt/local/bin to your path if its missing

sudo port install steghide

  git clone https://github.com/chikko80/OSX-CTF-Ready.git
  cd OSX-CTF-Ready
  chmod +x install.sh
  ./install.sh

Most of the binaries should be directly available since they are installed via brew.

The others:

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.
