This repo just aims to get you started with Anthropics Quickstarts environment to deploy "AI" hacking agents for shenanigans.
Why: On Oct 22, 2024 Anthropic released and in part it states:

"We’re also introducing a groundbreaking new capability in public beta: computer use. Available today on the API, developers can direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the first frontier AI model to offer computer use in public beta."

So in this repo, I am showing how the install guide leverages this to install metasploit, set options and execute an attack.

• on the VM in as the user home dir, there is a hidden directory called ~/.anthropic/ which I found two files:

  • api_key

  • system_prompt

    • The default state of the system prompt is blank, I had decent luck giving it instructions similar to "jailbreaks".

    • Documentation for this is here: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/computer-use

      • I had pretty good luck with it respecting these prompts prior to running the commands issues in the streamlit input field
      • 

      Interesting note: Even though its getting instruction to not intereact with external resources, it clearly ignores them. ya know.. since I was able to clone MSF and run it against something externally.

      

• I experienced this issue "Claude sometimes assumes outcomes of its actions without explicitly checking their results. " with some of my commands dispite telling it:

  ... Run each command one at a time and make sure they complete. I want to see the output as you run the command.

• Read the docs
• Get your Anthropic API key from the console

1. Clone this repository:

     git clone https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts.git && git clone https://github.com/haKC-ai/hakcthropic.git

2. Setup Environment Variables

   Add your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY API key to .env

   mv hacking_sample.env .env
   read -sp "Enter your Anthropic API key: " apikey && echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$apikey" > .env

3. Rename some stuff

   cd kali/image
   mv removeME.streamlit .streamlit
   mv removeME.config .config
    ```
   

4. Run the start_hacking.sh script:

   chmod 755 start_hacking.sh
   ./start_hacking.sh #or whereever you saved it

The start_hacking.sh script will:

1. Create a Python virtual environment.
2. Install the required dependencies.
3. Export environment variables from the .env file.
4. Run the Docker container with appropriate port bindings and environment variables.

• Ensure Docker is installed and running on your system.
• The script drops the .env file in anthropic-quickstarts/computer-use-demo/.

You are in luck dear haKCer, I made you a gift. To move Just use the Dockerfile in the kali/ directory and build your very own Kali instance to use instead of Anthropic's default image.

• The container preserves your Anthropic configuration by mounting ~/.anthropic
• The environment includes both GUI and CLI tools for security testing
• Claude maintains access to all computer use capabilities within the Kali environment

1. Pull the Kali Image

   cd haKC-ai/hakcthropic/kali
   docker pull kalilinux/kali-rolling

2. Customize Your Environment

   • The provided Dockerfile in this repo includes:
     • Essential GUI tools (VNC, noVNC)
     • Python environment setup
     • Common security tools
     • Desktop environment with basic applications

3. Build Your Kali Container

   DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 sudo docker build -t hakc-kali-image .
   or 
   docker build -t hakc-kali-image .

   Success looks like this

   DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 sudo docker build -t hakc-kali-image .

4. Start Hacking

• You can either run the start_kali_hacking.sh script

  chmod 755 start_kali_hacking.sh
  ./start_kali_hacking.sh

• OR you can kick it off manually

  cd kali/
  docker run \
      -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
      -v $(pwd):/home/hakcer/app \
      -p 5900:5900 \
      -p 8501:8501 \
      -p 6080:6080 \
      -p 8080:8080 \
      --name hakc-kali \
      -it hakc-kali-image

Success looks like this
