Karkinos is a light-weight 'Swiss Army Knife' for penetration testing and/or hacking CTF's. Karkinos was made for a university Web Development project; feel free to add any features :)
Currently, Karkinos offers the following:
- Encoding/Decoding characters
- Encrypting/Decrypting text or files
- 3 Modules
- Cracking and generating hashes
- Any server capable of hosting PHP
- Tested with PHP 7.4.9
- Tested with Python 3.8
Make sure it is in your path as:
Windows:python
Linux:python3
If it is not, change the commands inincludes/pid.php
. - Pip3
- Raspberry Pi Zero friendly :) (crack hashes at your own risk)
More information can be found in the Modules section.
This installation guide assumes you have all the dependencies. A Wiki page with troubleshooting steps can be found here.
A video going through these steps can be found here
git clone https://github.com/helich0pper/Karkinos.git
cd Karkinos
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd wordlists && unzip passlist.zip
You can also unzip it manually using file explorer. Just make sure passlist.txt is in wordlists directory.Make sure you have write privileges for db/main.db
- Enable
extension=sqlite3
in your php.ini file. You will also need to install it usingsudo apt-get install php7.0-sqlite3
. Replace "7.0" with your PHP version!php --version
Note: MySQLi is used to store statistics such as the total number of cracked hashes. - Thats it! Now just host it using your preferred web server that supports multithreading eg. Apache Server or Nginx.
Warning: Using the built in web serverphp -S 127.0.0.1:8888
in the Karkinos directory uses a single thread. You will only be able to use 1 module at a time! (it may stall until the task is complete)
Important: using port 5555, 5556, or 5557 will conflict with the Modules
If you insist on using these ports, change thePORT
value in:
/bin/Server/app.py Line 87
/bin/Busting/app.py Line 155
/bin/PortScan/app.py Line 128

User stats are displayed here. Currently, the stats recorded are only the total hashes and hash types cracked successfully.
This page allows you to encode/decode in common formats (more may be added soon)
Encrypting and decrypting text or files is made easy and is fully trusted since it is done locally.
Reverse shells can be captured and interacted with on this page.
Karkinos can generate commonly used hashes such as:
Karkinos offers the option to simultaneously crack hashes using a built-in wordlist consisting of over 15 million common and breached passwords. This list can easily be modified and/or completely replaced.
Pull requests and bug reports are always appreciated.
