Adds whatweb, wafw00f, amass, dnsx, testssl.sh, and waybackurls to the
arsenal catalog — all keyless, non-dangerous recon/OSINT tools that fill
live gaps in web fingerprinting, WAF detection, passive attack-surface
mapping, DNS validation, TLS posture, and historical-URL discovery.
Each adapter follows the CONTRIBUTING.md checklist and each gets an explicit
ARG_TEMPLATES entry in adapter-tools.ts, so:
- amass uses the required `enum -passive -d <target>` form (not a bare
positional), and dnsx passes the target via `-d` with resolve flags —
both fixing the broken default-positional invocation flagged in review.
- all six are accounted-for (templated), so they never land in the
arsenal-count-honesty guard's UNACCOUNTED set — no KNOWN_DEBT needed.
Scoped to the six adapters and their templates only. typecheck clean,
tests pass.
The Kali+ adapter factory only carries bespoke ARG_TEMPLATES for the network
and source/supply-chain scanners. The reverse-engineering, mobile and
smart-contract analysers catalogued by the cloud/mobile/binary-RE loadouts fall
through to DEFAULT_TEMPLATE and spawn a bare `<binary> <file>` — a broken
invocation for a subcommand/flag-driven tool, and for radare2 one that drops
into an INTERACTIVE prompt and hangs the agent loop until the timeout burns out.
Add conservative, read-only ARG_TEMPLATES (mirroring each catalog commandHint)
for objdump, readelf, checksec, r2, exiftool, myth (mythril), apkleaks, slither
and mobsfscan. File-oriented tools resolve their artifact through a new
`artifactPath` helper that refuses an absent path or an inherited http(s) URL by
throwing, which the handler turns into a clean {success:false} result (never a
bare `objdump ''`). No intrusive or code-executing flag is added — risk stays
where the catalog put it, and the existing option-looking-target / scope gates
still apply.
Add an invocation-honesty guard test (sibling of the tool-count honesty test):
every mintable adapter must be either templated or explicitly filed under one
fall-through reason — POSITIONAL_TARGET_OK, OPERATOR_DRIVEN, or KNOWN_DEBT — so a
newly catalogued subcommand tool can never silently ship a broken positional
invocation, and the remaining debt (feroxbuster, osv-scanner, hashcat, apktool,
yara) is tracked in the open rather than hidden.
All offline gate checks pass (lint typecheck test doctor verify-claims
test:no-fitting test:no-self-fitting test:gate prompt:audit smoke
test:arsenal-tools arsenal:smoke).
The opt-in code/supply-chain scanners (semgrep, gitleaks, trufflehog, trivy,
syft, grype, checkov) are subcommand-driven and non-networked, but had no
bespoke arg template — so adapterToCustomTool fell through to DEFAULT_TEMPLATE
and spawned `<binary> <target>`. For these that is a broken invocation:
`semgrep <host>` never runs a scan, and with no target it is `semgrep ''`.
semgrep in particular is advertised on the arsenal's headline tool list.
Add per-binary templates that mirror each tool's catalog commandHint and
operate on a filesystem PATH (default: the working dir "."):
semgrep → scan --config auto --json <path>
gitleaks → detect --source <path> --report-format json --redact --no-banner
trufflehog → filesystem <path> --json --no-update
trivy → fs --format json <path>
syft → dir:<path> -o cyclonedx-json
grype → dir:<path> -o json
checkov → -d <path> -o json
Subcommand + output flags are hardcoded (never taken from an LLM string),
matching the conservative pattern of the existing templates. The path is the
only tunable and is sanitised by scanPath(): a leading '-' (flag injection) or
an inherited http(s) mission target is rejected in favour of ".". Option-looking
targets are still refused up front by the factory's existing guard (no spawn).
Adds table-driven tests asserting the exact argv for each scanner, the "."
default, http(s)-target rejection, and the option-looking-path refusal.
Adds three coordinated capabilities and tightens two defaults on purpose — this is
safety hardening, NOT a backward-compatible drop-in (see "Tightened defaults").
Fifteen independent adversarial review passes; findings fixed and test-pinned.
- Pack-hunt safety: a strict-majority adjudicator with a comment/string/regex/
raw-string/heredoc/POD-aware cite-check (language-gated across C/C++/Py/Rust/Go/
Java/JS/TS/shell/SQL/PHP/Ruby/Perl) so a hallucinated killing-guard can't refute
a real finding — the cited comparison's operator must match source, and a
string/regex/heredoc/generic-arglist/template-interpolation is blanked before
matching. Plus a rate-limit/degraded-health tracker, a global LLM semaphore, and
a PackBoard with an atomic claim CAS + snapshot-on-emit/clone-on-ingest.
- Opt-in Kali+ arsenal (T3MP3ST_FULL_ARSENAL, OFF by default): 35 default tools
(31 built-in + 4 external-CLI wrappers) -> 83 with the catalog armed (verify-claims
CLAIM 4). Most adapters need the underlying binary installed. metasploit / hydra /
bloodhound are never minted through the generic factory.
- Capability-approval + spicy-action gate for the NEW dangerous arsenal only
(pre-existing built-ins keep running freely): approve-once, fail-safe deny when
unattended, redacted audit trail over SSE. T3MP3ST_GATE_BUILTINS=1 extends it to
the spicy built-in probes. Audit redaction is a pure, unit-tested module.
Tightened defaults (intentional, ON by default — NOT backward-compatible):
- Egress containment: once a mission target is set, built-in networked tools refuse
off-scope public hosts (not the target/subdomains, not loopback/private) with
SCOPE DENIED — keeps the agent on authorized scope.
- Role-specialized operator toolkits: each archetype gets a curated default tool
menu (scanner -> scan tools, exploiter -> sqli/xss/etc). Tools stay registered
team-wide; the per-role menu is the operator's working set.
UX (from live-tester feedback): a one-click "Approve & run" modal when a standard
Hunt blocks on an external-target receipt (was a dead-end); bounded-parallel
benchmark file ingestion; the deterministic mission-gate chip co-located with the
subjective SITREP pace narration (no more "behind schedule" next to a clean gate);
and click-through finding detail + evidence in the UI (was export-only).
Docs: README + INTEGRITY_LEDGER made re-derivable — honest 35/83 tool count, the
egress-containment default documented, and the Cybench number reconciled to the
single verify-claims-enforced 23/40 = 58% (dropped the stale/uncited 21 and 26).
README voice pass: killed the underselling `Successful Exploits: 0` disqualifier
(read as "never popped anything" — false, given CVE-Zero + the live disclosure
pipeline); swagger now rests on receipts, not vibes. Also corrected the operator
status — the downstream operators run the SAME real tool-backed ReAct loop as
recon (not "orchestration stubs"); the honest limit is that the coordinated swarm
is unproven (single-agent is the benchmarked path), not that they're scaffolding.
Gates: 292 tests, tsc + lint clean, verify-claims 20/20, arsenal:smoke 125/0,
disclosure-CLI self-test 11/11.
