Usage

The OS setup is simple and tools are divided by the CSPs. Inside each CSP, there are three sub-categories i.e, Enumeration, Exploitation, and Post Exploitation. For multitasking and ease-of-use, Terminator is set as the default terminal.

Each tool can be launched in 3 different ways as follows:-

Using menu launchers
Directly executing startup.sh script in respective /opt/* folder
TAB autocomplete to search binary using tool name

Note: PowerShell tools start with capital letters and all others start with small letters. In case of any confusion, feel free to checkout /usr/local/bin.

That being said, there are some launchers like Impacket and Redboto which due to lots of scripts are only listing the scripts and folder path. In the next release, we’ll be including proper launchers for these as well as as for any similar tool.

Environmental Variables Setup

We have provided some examples of environmental variables required for certain tools to work. These variables however are not exhaustive and more can be needed on case-to-case basis.

AWS

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key_id>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<access_key>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<region>

Azure

export AZURE_CLIENT_ID = <app-id>
export AZURE_TENANT_ID = <tenant-id>
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET = <app-secret>

GCP

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = <Service Account Json File Path>

Aliases

During the development procedure, few aliases were used for the sake of convenience. These aliases are still in the user account and can be used.

alias c='clear'
alias a='nano ~/.bash_aliases'
alias s='source ~/.bash_aliases'
alias v='python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate'
alias d='deactivate'
alias p='pip3 install -r requirements.txt'
alias ll='ls -la'

Building from scratch

Download base OS i.e, Parrot OS Architect Edition 5.3 and proceed with installation in VMware/VirtualBox.

During VM installation, when prompted to choose components, select only Mate Desktop Environment and proceed.
Once installation is finished, launch VM and clone this repo using git clone https://github.com/RedTeamOperations/RedCloud-OS.git
Browse to build-scripts folder and make scripts executable.
First execute uninstall.sh and wait for script to finish.
THen execute hold.sh and wait for script to finish.
Finally execute install.sh and wait for script to finish.
Install required tools from APT repo/Github/Gitlab.
Use Menu Editor to create applications launchers.
Use Dconf-Editor to customize icons.
Use Grub Customizer to modify Grub settings.
