🔥 About

CyberSec Multi Tool Launcher (CMTL) is a unified Python-based toolkit that allows cybersecurity students, researchers, and penetration testers to launch, manage, and capture results from multiple security tools in one place & to save time and enhance workflow efficiency.

It integrates both external tools (like Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, OWASP ZAP, Magnet AXIOM, etc.) and custom-built mini-tools (like port scanner, ping sweep, banner grabber, packet sniffer, subdomain finder) into a single CLI + GUI launcher.

📝 Problem Statement

Cybersecurity professionals and students often face difficulty switching between different tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, Nessus, Metasploit, and Burp Suite.
Each tool requires separate installation, command usage, and reporting, which makes workflow slow and inefficient.

This project solves that by providing a single GUI launcher to run multiple tools and view outputs in one place.

---

---

🎯 Objectives

• Provide a single launcher for commonly used cybersecurity tools.
• Reduce complexity by combining network scanning, vulnerability assessment, pentesting, and forensic tools.
• Include custom Python scanners to demonstrate internal capabilities.
• Allow logging & reporting in JSON + log files.
• Support cross-platform (Linux + Windows) operation.

---

⚙️ Functional Requirements

1. Provide GUI (Tkinter) + CLI menu for tool selection.
2. Allow run-and-capture for CLI tools.
3. Support launch-only mode for GUI-based external tools.
4. Provide "Run All" option sequentially.
5. Store outputs in logs/ and summary in results.json.
6. Use a config.json file to manage tool paths, targets, and preferences.

---

⚡ Non-Functional Requirements

• Usability: User-friendly CLI & GUI interface.
• Performance: Must run tools quickly and handle sequential scans.
• Scalability: Easy to add new tools via config.json.
• Portability: Works on both Linux & Windows.
• Security: Strictly for ethical and academic research only.
• Reliability: Must not crash while multiple tools run.

✅ Installation & Usage

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/isayani-78/CMTL.git
cd CMTL
python tool_launcher.py

Default launcher (choose mode inside menu)

python tool_launcher.py

CLI Mode

python tool_launcher.py --cli

GUI Mode (Tkinter)

python tool_launcher.py --gui

Run all tools sequentially

python tool_launcher.py --run-all

🔹Advanced Setup (Optional)

For users who prefer virtual environments + requirements:-

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Linux/Mac
venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

🔹 Configuring Tool Paths

If tools are not in your system PATH, edit config.json:-

{
  "default_target": "192.168.1.1",
  "tools": {
    "nmap": "nmap",
    "wireshark": "wireshark",
    "metasploit": "msfconsole"
  }
}

🔹 Outputs & Logs

Combined summary → output/results.json

Individual logs → output/logs/

---

❓ Troubleshooting:-

- Tool not found? → Make sure it’s installed and in PATH.

- Permission denied? → Use sudo (Linux/Mac) or run as Administrator (Windows).

- GUI not opening? → Ensure Python Tkinter is installed (built-in for most systems).

- Still stuck? → Delete output/ folder and rerun.

⚡ Tip:-

If a required external tool is missing, CMTL will prompt you to install it. It supports auto-install for:-

Linux: apt-get
Mac: brew
Windows: choco

Internal Tools

⚠️ Ethics reminder:- Only run these tools on hosts/networks you own or have explicit permission to test.

Run individually, e.g:-

python tools/port_scanner.py 192.168.1.1
python tools/ping_sweeper.py 192.168.1 1 50
python tools/banner_grabber.py example.com 80
sudo python tools/packet_sniffer.py --count 20
python tools/subdomain_finder.py example.com
