The Catherine Framework is a general-purpose cybersecurity framework built to aggregate, validate, decode, decrypt, and maintain data. Catherine currently collects information from dumping hexadecimal content from files, validates malicious domains & IP addresses, attempts to crack unknown hashes, handles real-time database analysis, various types of decoding, and much more. Thanks to Catherine being built in an easily packaged executable, you can quickly download the tool by running cargo install catherine via the Cargo ecosystem. Catherine can also be quickly compiled by pulling down the source code from git and simply running cargo build.
Catherine provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) built into the executable. This means whether you install from source or Cargo, you can choose your method of use.
You can easily install via the Cargo CLI:
bash
cargo install catherine
If you'd prefer to install from source, you can also do this fairly easily, but it will still require the Cargo CLI.
First, clone the repository using git:
bash
git clone https://github.com/azazelm3dj3d/catherine.git
Once you've cloned the repository and you're in the correct directory, simply run the following command:
bash
cargo build
Now you'll have a local debug build available for testing under target/debug/catherine.
Catherine also offers custom modules for Linux operating systems. You can access these modules by installing Catherine via the catherine_install script.
You can review the script here.
```bash
/opt/catherine/sudo ./catherine_install ```
NOTE: I am working on converting all external modules (Python, C, Go) into native modules (Rust) to offer everything in a built-in executable via Cargo without any extra steps, but for now, I've made sure to keep them accessible (excluding the GUI) for extended functionality.
If you've already installed the application from Cargo, all you have to do now is run the following command to initialize the Catherine shell:
bash
catherine
If a GUI is more your style, there is a simple version available with the majority of the available CLI commands. All you have to do to launch the interface is initialize the Catherine shell and run the following command within the shell:
bash
🦀 Catherine [v0.x.x] (None) ☀️ 〉launch
NOTE: I am still working on making the GUI a little nicer looking, but a basic version is currently available for testing.
