Requirements

Designed specifically for Kali Linux systems

  • Kali Linux (recommended and tested platform)
  • Go 1.16 or higher (usually pre-installed on Kali)
  • Git (pre-installed on Kali)
  • Optional: nmap (pre-installed on Kali)
  • Optional: SecLists (available via apt on Kali)

Installation

Option 1: Quick Install (Recommended - Works Every Time!)

This is the preferred installation method that has been thoroughly tested on Kali Linux:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/1x0DF0/GopherStrike.git
cd GopherStrike

# Install dependencies
go mod download

# Build the application
go build -o GopherStrike main.go

# Install globally using the provided script (works reliably on Kali)
sudo ./install.sh

After installation, you can run GopherStrike from anywhere on your Kali system:

gopherstrike

Option 2: Manual Installation (Alternative)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/GopherStrike.git
cd GopherStrike

# Install dependencies
go mod download

# Build the application
go build -o GopherStrike main.go

# Copy to system PATH (requires sudo)
sudo cp GopherStrike /usr/local/bin/gopherstrike

Option 3: User-only Installation (No sudo required)

# Run the installer without sudo for user-only installation
./install.sh

# Add to PATH if needed
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.$(basename $SHELL)rc
source ~/.$(basename $SHELL)rc

Security Considerations & Compliance

Ethical Usage Guidelines

  • Authorization Required: Always obtain written permission before scanning targets
  • Responsible Disclosure: Follow coordinated vulnerability disclosure practices
  • Legal Compliance: Ensure activities comply with local and international laws
  • Scope Limitation: Restrict scanning to authorized targets and networks only

Compliance Standards

  • OWASP: Aligned with OWASP Testing Guide methodologies
  • NIST: Compatible with NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • PCI-DSS: Supports PCI-DSS penetration testing requirements
  • ISO 27001: Meets ISO 27001 security testing standards

Data Protection

  • Encryption: All sensitive data encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Sanitization: Automatic PII and credential redaction in logs
  • Retention: Configurable data retention policies
  • Access Control: Role-based access to scan results and configurations

Legal Considerations

  • Terms of Service: Respect website terms of service and robots.txt
  • Rate Limiting: Built-in protections to prevent service disruption
  • Logging: Comprehensive audit trails for compliance reporting
  • Attribution: Clear identification in User-Agent strings

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Common Installation Issues

Go Module Download Fails

# Problem: "go mod download" fails with proxy errors
# Solution: Configure Go proxy settings
export GOPROXY=direct
export GOSUMDB=off
go mod download

Permission Denied During Installation

# Problem: "./install.sh" fails with permission denied
# Solution: Make script executable
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

Command Not Found After Installation

# Problem: "gopherstrike" command not found
# Solution: Check PATH and reload shell
echo $PATH | grep -q "/usr/local/bin" || echo "PATH issue detected"
hash -r  # Refresh command cache
source ~/.bashrc  # Reload shell configuration

Runtime Issues

High Memory Usage

# Problem: GopherStrike consuming too much RAM
# Solutions:
1. Reduce worker count in config.json:
   "maxWorkers": 50  # Default: 100

2. Enable memory optimization:
   export GOPHER_MEMORY_LIMIT=1GB
   
3. Use stealth profile:
   gopherstrike --profile stealth

Slow Scanning Performance

# Problem: Scans running slower than expected
# Solutions:
1. Check system resources:
   top -p $(pgrep gopherstrike)
   
2. Increase worker count:
   gopherstrike --max-workers 200
   
3. Use SSD storage for better I/O:
   ln -s /path/to/ssd/logs ./logs

Network Connectivity Issues

# Problem: Unable to reach targets
# Solutions:
1. Check DNS resolution:
   nslookup target.com
   
2. Test direct connectivity:
   ping -c 4 target.com
   
3. Configure proxy if needed:
   export GOPHER_PROXY=http://proxy:8080

Scanning Issues

False Positives in Web Scans

# Problem: Too many false positive vulnerabilities
# Solutions:
1. Update vulnerability signatures:
   gopherstrike --update-signatures
   
2. Use conservative scanning:
   gopherstrike --profile stealth --accuracy high
   
3. Enable manual verification:
   gopherstrike --verify-findings true

Rate Limiting Detected

# Problem: Target implementing rate limiting
# Solutions:
1. Reduce scan speed:
   gopherstrike --delay 2000  # 2 second delay
   
2. Use stealth profile:
   gopherstrike --profile stealth
   
3. Rotate source IPs (advanced):
   # Configure multiple network interfaces

Port Scan Blocked by Firewall

# Problem: Firewall blocking scan attempts
# Solutions:
1. Use different scan techniques:
   gopherstrike --scan-type connect  # Instead of SYN
   
2. Try common ports only:
   gopherstrike --ports common
   
3. Fragment packets:
   gopherstrike --fragment true

Configuration Issues

Config File Not Loading

# Problem: Custom config.json not being used
# Solutions:
1. Check file location:
   ls -la ./config.json
   
2. Validate JSON syntax:
   python -m json.tool config.json
   
3. Use explicit config path:
   gopherstrike --config /path/to/config.json

API Keys Not Working

# Problem: Third-party API integration failures
# Solutions:
1. Verify API key format:
   echo $SHODAN_API_KEY | wc -c  # Should be 32 chars
   
2. Test API connectivity:
   curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" https://api.service.com/test
   
3. Check rate limits:
   gopherstrike --check-limits

Performance Optimization

Maximum Performance Setup

# For powerful systems (16+ cores, 32+ GB RAM)
export GOPHER_MAX_WORKERS=500
export GOPHER_RATE_LIMIT=2000
export GOPHER_MEMORY_LIMIT=8GB

# Use aggressive profile
gopherstrike --profile aggressive \
  --max-workers 500 \
  --rate-limit 2000

Resource-Constrained Setup

# For limited systems (2-4 cores, 4-8 GB RAM)
export GOPHER_MAX_WORKERS=20
export GOPHER_RATE_LIMIT=50
export GOPHER_MEMORY_LIMIT=512MB

# Use stealth profile
gopherstrike --profile stealth \
  --max-workers 20 \
  --rate-limit 50

Debug Mode

# Enable detailed debugging
gopherstrike --debug --verbose \
  --log-level debug \
  --output-debug ./debug/

# Monitor real-time metrics
tail -f logs/gopherstrike.log | grep -E "(ERROR|WARN|PERF)"
