# Bidirectional Command Capture
## Overview
StrikePackageGPT now supports **bidirectional command capture**, enabling commands run directly in the Kali container to be automatically captured and displayed in the dashboard alongside commands executed via the UI/API.
This feature is perfect for advanced users who prefer command-line interfaces but still want visual tracking and historical reference.
## How It Works
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Two-Way Flow │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

│ Dashboard UI → HackGPT API → Kali Executor → Kali Container│
│ ↓ ↑ │
│ Stored in scan_results ←──────────────────────── │

│ Displayed in Dashboard History │

│ Direct Shell → Command Logger → JSON Files → API Sync │
│ ↓ ↑ │
│ /workspace/.command_history Auto-Import │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Features
### Automatic Logging
- All commands run in interactive bash sessions are automatically logged
- Command metadata captured: timestamp, user, working directory, exit code, duration
- Full stdout/stderr captured for commands run with `capture` wrapper
### Unified History
- Commands from both sources (UI and direct shell) appear in the same history
- Consistent format and parsing across all command sources
- Network visualization includes manually-run scans
### Real-Time Sync
- API endpoint to pull latest captured commands
- Background sync every 30 seconds (configurable)
- Manual sync available via `/commands/sync` endpoint
## Usage
### Option 1: Automatic Logging (All Commands)
When you connect to the Kali container, command logging is enabled automatically:
```bash
docker exec -it strikepackage-kali bash
```
Now run any security tool:
```bash
nmap -sV 192.168.1.0/24
sqlmap -u "http://example.com?id=1"
nikto -h http://example.com
```
These commands are logged with basic metadata. Full output capture requires Option 2.
### Option 2: Explicit Capture (With Full Output)
Use the `capture` command prefix for full output capture:
```bash
docker exec -it strikepackage-kali bash
capture nmap -sV 192.168.1.0/24
capture gobuster dir -u http://example.com -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt
```
This captures:
- Full stdout and stderr
- Exit codes
- Execution duration
- All command metadata
### View Recent Commands
Inside the container:
```bash
recent # Shows last 10 captured commands
```
### Sync to Dashboard
Commands are automatically synced to the dashboard. To manually trigger a sync:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/commands/sync
```
## API Endpoints
### Get Captured Commands
```bash
GET /commands/captured?limit=50&since=2025-12-03T00:00:00Z
```
Returns commands captured from interactive sessions.
**Response:**
```json
{
"commands": [
{
"command_id": "abc-123-def",
"command": "nmap -sV 192.168.1.0/24",
"timestamp": "2025-12-03T14:30:00Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-03T14:35:00Z",
"status": "completed",
"exit_code": 0,
"duration": 300,
"stdout": "... nmap output ...",
"stderr": "",
"user": "root",
"working_dir": "/workspace",
"source": "capture_wrapper"
}
],
"count": 1,
"imported_to_history": true
}
```
### Sync Commands to History
```bash
POST /commands/sync
```
Imports all captured commands into the unified scan history, making them visible in the dashboard.
**Response:**
```json
{
"status": "synced",
"imported_count": 15,
"message": "All captured commands are now visible in dashboard history"
}
```
### View Unified History
```bash
GET /scans
```
Returns all commands from both sources (UI and direct shell).
## Dashboard Integration
### Viewing Captured Commands
1. **Scan History Tab**: Shows all commands (UI + captured)
2. **Network Map**: Includes hosts discovered via manual scans
3. **Timeline View**: Shows when commands were executed
4. **Filter by Source**: Filter to show only manually-run or UI-run commands
### Visual Indicators
- 🔷 **UI Commands**: Blue indicator
- 🔶 **Manual Commands**: Orange indicator with "Interactive Shell" badge
-**Running**: Animated indicator
-**Completed**: Green checkmark
-**Failed**: Red X with error details
## Configuration
### Enable/Disable Automatic Logging
To disable automatic logging in new shell sessions:
```bash
# Inside container
echo 'DISABLE_AUTO_LOGGING=1' >> ~/.bashrc
```
### Change Log Directory
Set a custom log directory:
```bash
# In docker-compose.yml or .env
COMMAND_LOG_DIR=/custom/path/.command_history
```
### Sync Interval
Configure auto-sync interval (default: 30 seconds):
```bash
# In HackGPT API configuration
COMMAND_SYNC_INTERVAL=60 # seconds
```
## Technical Details
### Storage Format
Commands are stored as JSON files in `/workspace/.command_history/`:
```json
{
"command_id": "unique-uuid",
"command": "nmap -sV 192.168.1.1",
"timestamp": "2025-12-03T14:30:00Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-03T14:35:00Z",
"user": "root",
"working_dir": "/workspace",
"source": "capture_wrapper",
"status": "completed",
"exit_code": 0,
"duration": 300,
"stdout": "...",
"stderr": ""
}
```
### Command Logger (`command_logger.sh`)
- Hooks into `PROMPT_COMMAND` for automatic logging
- Filters out basic commands (cd, ls, etc.)
- Lightweight metadata-only logging
- No performance impact on command execution
### Capture Wrapper (`capture`)
- Full command wrapper for complete output capture
- Uses `eval` with output redirection
- Measures execution time
- Captures exit codes
- Saves results as JSON
### API Integration
1. **Kali Executor** reads JSON files from `/workspace/.command_history/`
2. **HackGPT API** imports them into `scan_results` dict
3. **Dashboard** displays them alongside UI-initiated commands
4. Automatic deduplication prevents duplicates
## Security Considerations
### Command Whitelist
- Command logging respects the existing whitelist
- Only whitelisted tools are executed
- Malicious commands are blocked before logging
### Storage Limits
- Log directory is size-limited (default: 10MB)
- Oldest logs are automatically purged
- Configurable retention period
### Access Control
- Logs are stored in container-specific workspace
- Only accessible via API with authentication (when enabled)
- No cross-container access
## Troubleshooting
### Commands Not Appearing in Dashboard
1. **Check logging is enabled**:
```bash
docker exec -it strikepackage-kali bash -c 'echo $PROMPT_COMMAND'
```
2. **Verify log files are created**:
```bash
docker exec -it strikepackage-kali ls -la /workspace/.command_history/
```
3. **Manually trigger sync**:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/commands/sync
```
### Output Not Captured
- Use `capture` prefix for full output: `capture nmap ...`
- Check log file exists: `ls /workspace/.command_history/`
- Verify command completed: `recent`
### Performance Issues
If logging causes slowdowns:
1. **Disable for current session**:
```bash
unset PROMPT_COMMAND
```
2. **Increase sync interval**:
```bash
# In .env
COMMAND_SYNC_INTERVAL=120
```
3. **Clear old logs**:
```bash
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8001/captured_commands/clear
```
## Examples
### Example 1: Network Reconnaissance
```bash
# In Kali container
docker exec -it strikepackage-kali bash
# Run discovery scan (automatically logged)
nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24
# Run detailed scan with full capture
capture nmap -sV -sC -p- 192.168.1.100
# View in dashboard
# → Go to Scan History
# → See both commands with full results
# → View in Network Map
```
### Example 2: Web Application Testing
```bash
# Directory bruteforce
capture gobuster dir -u http://target.com -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt
# SQL injection testing
capture sqlmap -u "http://target.com?id=1" --batch --dbs
# Vulnerability scanning
capture nikto -h http://target.com
# All results appear in dashboard history
```
### Example 3: Wireless Auditing
```bash
# Put adapter in monitor mode
capture airmon-ng start wlan0
# Scan for networks
capture airodump-ng wlan0mon
# Results visible in dashboard with timestamps
```
