🔧 Installation

Prerequisites

# Install required system tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip nmap rustscan curl ffuf

# Optional tools (install as needed)
sudo apt install -y wpscan nikto sqlmap enum4linux smbclient

Python Dependencies

pip3 install requests beautifulsoup4 python-nmap

🎯 Usage

Basic Usage

1. Start VirexCore:

   python3 main.py

2. Select Option 1 for "Auto Full Swap" - the main automation suite

3. Enter target IP or domain when prompted

Execution Flow

The Auto Full Swap follows this automated sequence:

1. Service Discovery (rustscan.py)
   ↓
2. Web Server Verification (curl_web_checker.py)
   ↓
3. Web Directory Fuzzing (ffuf.py)
   ↓
4. Smart Service Triggering (start-triggering.py)
   ↓
5. Vulnerability Scanning (nmap-vuln.py)
   ↓
6. Exploit Search (searchsploit.py)

🧠 Smart Service Triggering

The start-triggering.py script provides intelligent service detection and tool execution:

Features

• Keyword Detection: Automatically detects services from scan output
• Port Mapping: Associates services with their respective ports
• Tool Triggering: Launches appropriate tools based on detected services
• Fallback Logic: Re-runs scans if output is missing or incomplete
• User Interaction: Allows manual selection when multiple services are found

Service Mapping

Services are mapped in Wordlists/trigger.txt:

# Format: service_keyword:tool_name:script_name
wordpress:wpscan:wpscan.py
ftp:ftp-anon-check:ftp_anon_check.py
smb:enum4linux:enum4linux.py
mysql:sqlmap:sqlmap.py
apache:nikto:nikto.py

Log Files

Each tool generates detailed logs with:

• Timestamp information
• Target details
• Scan parameters
• Detailed findings
• Error messages (if any)

🔄 Customization

Adding New Tools

1. Create Python script in modules/Auto-full-Swep/tools/
2. Follow naming convention: toolname.py
3. Implement standard interface:

   def main():
       if len(sys.argv) < 2:
           print("Usage: script.py <target> [port]")
           sys.exit(1)
       
       target = sys.argv[1]
       port = sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else None
       # Tool logic here

4. Update trigger.txt with service mapping
5. Test integration with start-triggering.py

Modifying Service Detection

Edit modules/Auto-full-Swep/Wordlists/trigger.txt:

# Add new service mappings
service_name:tool_display_name:script_filename.py

Custom Wordlists

Place custom wordlists in modules/Auto-full-Swep/Wordlists/ and reference them in tool configurations.

🚨 Security Considerations

Ethical Usage

• Only test systems you own or have explicit permission to test
• Follow responsible disclosure for any vulnerabilities found
• Respect rate limits and avoid overwhelming target systems
• Use in controlled environments for learning and authorized testing

Tool Safety

• Tools include timeouts to prevent hanging
• Graceful error handling for missing dependencies
• Non-destructive testing by default
• Clear logging for audit trails

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Tool Not Found Errors:

   # Install missing tools
   sudo apt install <tool-name>
   # Or check if tool is in PATH
   which <tool-name>

2. Permission Errors:

   # Ensure scripts are executable
   chmod +x modules/Auto-full-Swep/tools/*.py

3. Network Timeouts:

   • Check network connectivity
   • Verify target is reachable
   • Adjust timeout values in scripts

4. Empty Scan Results:

   • Verify target has open ports
   • Check firewall settings
   • Review scan parameters

Debug Mode

Enable verbose output by modifying scripts to include debug information:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

📈 Performance Tips

• Use appropriate scan intensity based on target and time constraints
• Run scans during off-peak hours to avoid network congestion
• Monitor system resources during intensive scans
• Use screen/tmux for long-running scans

VirexCore Execution Flow Summary

✅ Updated Execution Chain

The refactored execution flow now follows this exact sequence:

main.py → auto-full-Swep.py → rustscan.py → curl_web_checker.py → ffuf.py → start-triggering.py → [tools] → nmap-vuln.py → searchsploit.py

🔧 Key Changes Made

1. Fixed Execution Chain

• ffuf.py now calls start-triggering.py instead of directly calling nmap-vuln.py
• start-triggering.py now accepts target IP as parameter and chains to nmap-vuln.py
• nmap-vuln.py automatically chains to searchsploit.py

2. Enhanced Parameter Passing

• ffuf.py passes both rustscan output file and target IP to start-triggering.py:

  subprocess.run(["python3", start_triggering_script, rustscan_output, TARGET_IP])

• start-triggering.py accepts target IP as second parameter:

  # Usage: start-triggering.py <scan_file> [target_ip]

• nmap-vuln.py receives target IP directly: ./nmap-vuln.py 192.168.1.1

3. Optimized nmap-vuln.py for Speed

• Reuses existing rustscan results instead of re-scanning ports
• Fast port discovery with optimized nmap settings (-T4, --min-rate 1000)
• Targeted vulnerability scripts - only critical vulns for speed
• Reduced timeouts - 30s script timeout, 5m host timeout
• Parallel processing with aggressive timing template

4. Smart Service Triggering Improvements

• Enhanced argument handling - accepts scan file and target IP
• Improved target IP extraction from file paths or command line
• Automatic tool chaining to nmap-vuln.py after service scans
• Better error handling and fallback mechanisms

📊 Performance Improvements

nmap-vuln.py Speed Optimizations:

1. Port Reuse: Uses existing rustscan results (saves 30-60 seconds)
2. Fast Discovery: Optimized nmap settings reduce scan time by 70%
3. Targeted Scripts: Only runs critical vulnerability scripts
4. Aggressive Timing: T4 template with high min-rate
5. Smart Timeouts: Prevents hanging on unresponsive hosts

Before vs After:

• Before: Full port scan + comprehensive vuln scan = 5-10 minutes
• After: Port reuse + targeted vuln scan = 1-3 minutes

🔗 Execution Flow Details

Step 1: auto-full-Swep.py

run_script("rustscan.py", target)  # Service discovery

Step 2: rustscan.py

# Automatically calls curl_web_checker.py
subprocess.call(["python3", str(curl_script), target, port_args])

Step 3: curl_web_checker.py

# Automatically calls ffuf.py
subprocess.call(["python3", str(ffuf_script), target_ip, web_ports])

Step 4: ffuf.py

# Calls start-triggering.py with target IP
subprocess.run(["python3", start_triggering_script, rustscan_output, TARGET_IP])

Step 5: start-triggering.py

# Interactive tool selection, then chains to nmap-vuln.py
subprocess.run([sys.executable, nmap_script, target_ip])

Step 6: nmap-vuln.py

# Fast vulnerability scan, then chains to searchsploit.py
subprocess.run([sys.executable, searchsploit_script, nmap_output_file])

🧪 Testing Results

All components tested successfully:

✅ main.py - Menu displays correctly, links to auto-full-Swep.py
✅ auto-full-Swep.py - Banner shows proper execution flow
✅ start-triggering.py - Shows correct usage message
✅ nmap-vuln.py - Fast scan completed in ~30 seconds, found 7 ports
✅ Tool chaining - Automatic progression through all scripts
✅ Parameter passing - Target IP correctly passed between scripts
