# Course #264: Hubble$ Tool Mastery

## Section 1: Installation & Configuration of Hubble$ on Kali Linux

### 1.1 Introduction to Hubble$

Hubble$ is an advanced tool designed for penetration testing and security assessment. It streamlines the process of information gathering, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation. In this section, we'll cover the installation and configuration of Hubble$ on Kali Linux, and provide hands-on examples of its usage in real-world scenarios.

### 1.2 Installation on Kali Linux

#### 1.2.1 System Requirements

Before installation, make sure your Kali Linux system meets the necessary requirements. Hubble$ is compatible with:

– Kali Linux version 2023.1 or later
– Python 3.7 or later
– Network connectivity for downloading dependencies

#### 1.2.2 Installation Steps

1. **Update Kali Linux**: Always start by updating your system to ensure you have the latest packages.

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

  

2. **Install Dependencies**: Hubble$ relies on several Python libraries and tools. Install them using the following command.

    sudo apt install python3-pip python3-requests python3-BeautifulSoup4 git -y

  

3. **Clone the Hubble$ Repository**: Use Git to clone the official repository from GitHub.

    git clone https://github.com/username/hubble.git

  

Replace `username` with the actual GitHub username hosting the Hubble$ repository.

4. **Navigate to the Hubble$ Directory**: Change to the directory where Hubble$ was cloned.

    cd hubble

  

5. **Install Hubble$ Using Pip**: Install the package using pip, ensuring all Python dependencies are configured.

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  

6. **Verify Installation**: Check whether Hubble$ is installed correctly by running the following command:

    python3 hubble.py –help

  

You should see a list of available commands and options if the installation is successful.

### 1.3 Configuration of Hubble$

Hubble$ requires minimal configuration but adjusting a few settings will enhance its functionality.

1. **Edit Configuration File**: Once installed, locate the configuration file typically found in the root directory of the Hubble$ tool.

    nano config.json

  

The default configuration may look like this:

[/dm_code_snippet]json
{
"output_directory": "./results/",
"timeout": 5,
"threads": 10
}
[/dm_code_snippet]

– **output_directory**: Defines where Hubble$ will store its results.
– **timeout**: Sets the timeout for requests.
– **threads**: Amount of concurrent threads for faster scanning.

2. **Save Changes**: After modifying the configuration, save and exit the editor (Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).

### 1.4 Step-by-Step Usage of Hubble$

Now that Hubble$ is installed and configured, let's examine its core functionalities through usage examples. We will walk through several real-world scenarios where Hubble$ can be applied.

#### 1.4.1 Example 1: Information Gathering

1. **Target Specification**: To start working with Hubble$, specify your target. Use the command below:

    python3 hubble.py -t targetdomain.com -m gather

  

Replace `targetdomain.com` with the domain you want to assess.

2. **Analyze Output**: The command will initiate a series of information-gathering techniques (DNS enumeration, WHOIS lookup, etc.). The results will be stored in the `./results/` directory.

#### 1.4.2 Example 2: Vulnerability Scanning

Use Hubble$ for scanning the given target for vulnerabilities.

1. **Run the Vulnerability Scan**:

    python3 hubble.py -t targetdomain.com -m scan

  

2. **Review Findings**: Upon completion, navigate to the results directory and review the `scan_results.md` file generated by Hubble$.

#### 1.4.3 Example 3: Exploitation

Hubble$ can also assist in the exploitation phase of the penetration testing process.

1. **Initiate Exploit**:

    python3 hubble.py -t targetdomain.com -m exploit

  

This will attempt to exploit known vulnerabilities found in the previous steps.

2. **Inspect Outcomes**: After the exploitation attempt, check the `exploit_results.md` file within the results directory to evaluate the success and any acquired data.

### 1.5 Real-World Use Cases

1. **Corporate Security Assessment**: Hubble$ is invaluable for security teams assessing their corporate environments. It can automate the tedious process of finding vulnerabilities and provide detailed reporting.

2. **Bug Bounty Programs**: Many security researchers use Hubble$ to discover vulnerabilities in the domains they are targeting for bug bounty rewards.

3. **Training and Labs**: The tool’s straightforward interface makes it suitable for training scenarios, allowing students to practice penetration testing without getting overwhelmed.
