## Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure you have:
- **Operating System**: Kali Linux (preferred), Ubuntu, Debian, or Parrot OS.
- **Permissions**: Root (administrator) access is required. Use `sudo` if you are not logged in as root.
- **Internet Connection**: Required to download dependencies.

---

## Native Installation

This is the standard installation method for Kali Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian systems.

### Step 1: Clone the Repository
Open your terminal (command prompt) and run the following command to download the **UltyScan** code to your computer.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/1N3/Sn1per
```
*Note: This creates a folder named `Sn1per`. You can rename it to `UltyScan` if you wish, but the internal scripts expect standard paths.*

### Step 2: Navigate to the Directory
Move into the downloaded folder:

```bash
cd Sn1per
```

### Step 3: Run the Installer
Run the installation script. This script will automatically download and install all necessary tools and dependencies.

**Warning**: This process can take a while (10-30 minutes) depending on your internet speed, as it installs many security tools.

```bash
sudo bash install.sh
```

### Step 4: Verification
Once the script finishes, verify the installation by running the scanner's help command:

```bash
sudo sniper --help
```
If you see the help menu with the logo, the installation was successful!

## Docker Installation

If you are not using Kali/Debian, or prefer a containerized environment, use Docker. This keeps your host system clean.

### Prerequisites
- Ensure **Docker** and **Docker Compose** are installed on your system.
    - [Install Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
    - [Install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

### Option A: Kali Linux Container (Recommended)

1.  **Start the container**:
    From within the `Sn1per` directory, run:
    ```bash
    sudo docker compose up -d
    ```
    *The `-d` flag runs it in the background.*

2.  **Access the container**:
    To start using the scanner, enter the interactive shell:
    ```bash
    sudo docker run --privileged -it sn1per-kali-linux /bin/bash
    ```

3.  **Run the tool**:
    Inside the container, you can run:
    ```bash
    sniper --help
    ```

### Option B: BlackArch Container

If you prefer BlackArch Linux:

1.  **Start the container**:
    ```bash
    sudo docker compose -f docker-compose-blackarch.yml up -d
    ```

2.  **Access the container**:
    ```bash
    sudo docker run --privileged -it sn1per-blackarch /bin/bash
    ```

## Troubleshooting

### "Command not found"
If running `sniper` says command not found:
- Ensure you ran the install script as root (`sudo bash install.sh`).
- Try running it directly from the installation directory:
  ```bash
  cd /usr/share/sniper
  ./sniper --help
  ```

### Dependency Errors
If the installer fails on a specific package:
1.  Run `sudo apt update --fix-missing`
2.  Run `sudo apt upgrade`
3.  Re-run `./install.sh`

### Docker "Permission Denied"
If you get permission errors with Docker, ensure your user is in the `docker` group or use `sudo` before docker commands.
