All in one Docker-based workstation with hacking tools for Pentesting and offsec Labs by maintained by @Fenrir.pro.
It is based on Alpine Linux, clutter-free, lightweight and actively used for penetration testing assessments, local training sessions, workshops and online classes on hack.courses.
We deploy on-demain online workstations and needed a hacking-oriented operating system with a small CPU/RAM/storage footprint (smaller than kali and ubuntu at least which took sometimes 20~30 minutes to setup).
Also, being able to deploy a new Linux hacking machine on a Windows workstation in less than 20 seconds is definitely enjoyable.
So here’s Vulpes (also VulpOS, still unsure about the name)!
PS> docker-compose -f docker-compose-win-novnc.yml up
$> docker-compose -f docker-compose-unix-novnc.yml up
Once your build is done (which takes usually around 10 to 20 seconds) you can enjoy Vulpes in your browser locally on :
Or if you deployed vulpes on a server/remote machine :
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080/?path=YOUR_SERVER_IP:6080
IMPORTANT : This default docker-compose configuration exposes three ports on your machine’s 0.0.0.0 : 8000 (noVNC web interface), 6080 (websockify) and 5900 (VNC).
Make sure you trust machines on your local network if you keep this default configuration and change the default VNC password that is CHANGEME in the docker-compose-win-novnc.yml file.
I repeat : those three services are exposed on your machine’s network interfaces by default!
