🎮 Usage Guide

Network Scanning

1. Select network interface (eth0, wlan0, etc.)
2. Enter IP range in CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24)
3. Click "INITIATE NETWORK SCAN"
4. View results in the scan results chart

Port Scanning

1. Enter target IP address
2. Specify port range (e.g., 1-1000)
3. Click "INITIATE PORT SCAN"
4. Monitor open ports in the port status chart

Vulnerability Assessment

1. Enter target IP address
2. Select scan intensity (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, AGGRESSIVE)
3. Click "INITIATE VULNERABILITY SCAN"
4. Review vulnerabilities in the radar chart

Attack Simulation

1. Hydra Attack: Enter target IP and select protocol
2. Metasploit: Choose target and exploit type
3. Monitor attack progress in real-time
4. View results in the console output

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Permission denied" errors

# Run with sudo for network operations
sudo ./start.sh

"Command not found" for network tools

# Install missing tools
sudo apt install nmap hydra nikto

Port 5000 already in use

# Kill existing processes
sudo lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill -9

Charts not loading

• Check browser console for JavaScript errors
• Ensure API endpoints are responding
• Verify internet connection for CDN resources

Debug Mode

# Enable debug logging
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
python3 app.py
