Boxer is a HackTheBox alike panel for managing boxes (VMs).
Have you or your team wanted a private HackTheBox platform to host your own boxes? Boxer was created just to fulfill this need! Within the HTB team, we wanted a private platform with the ease of starting up, shutting down and reseting machines exactly like in HackTheBox. Many weeks later, here comes the Boxer!
I wrote a more detailed blog post about the platform which you can find here.
- Virtualization hypervisor is QEMU-KVM
- Virtualization API is libvirt
- Docker for containers and docker-compose to manage them
- Redis used to handle delayed VM shutdowns / resets with the option to cancel them
- Python dependencies managed by
pipenv - Web panel built with Django
- AdminLTE project for the front-end
Everything you need to do is to pull images and run the containers!
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mrblacyk/Boxer.git
# Enter the repo
cd Boxer
# To prepare the host (ubuntu/debian for now is only supported!)
bash prepare_host.sh
# If you want to use docker hub image
docker-compose -f docker-compose-nobuild.yml up -d
# If you want to build the image yourself
# docker-compuse up -d --build
# Good to issue to resolve potential problems
chown -R www-data:www-data db/ uploads/Now, there is available a docker image available from Docker Hub. Check it out here.
You are more than welcomed to contribute! I am already aware that there are some mistakes like typos or a bit sketchy logic but I lack time to even fix them :(
If you want to develop and install the application directly on the host, for now you are dependant on your knowledge and common sense. I will create some instruction on how to contribute when I will have more time.
