Overview

Nebula is an AI-powered assistant specifically designed for the field of ethical hacking. It provides a unique capability for users to input commands using natural language processing, facilitating a seamless transition from intent to execution.

Additionally, Nebula offers a command search engine. Ethical hackers can effortlessly search for services, ports, or specific terms. In response, Nebula provides curated suggestions on commands that can aid in identifying potential vulnerabilities.

Currently, Nebula is integrated with and supports the following ethical hacking tools:

• NMAP: A versatile tool for network discovery and security auditing.
• OWASP ZAP (Full Scan Only): A popular web application security scanner.
• Crackmapexec: A robust network information gathering tool.
• Nuclei: A tool is used to send requests across targets based on a template, leading to zero false positives and providing fast scanning on a large number of hosts.

Our roadmap envisions Nebula's continuous expansion to incorporate the majority of the tools leveraged by ethical hackers globally. This commitment ensures that our users remain at the cutting edge of cybersecurity endeavors.

PYPI based distribution requirement(s)

• Python3
• libreadline-dev:

Linux (debian based):

sudo apt install -y libreadline-dev

• NMAP
• crackmapexec

Installation

The easiest way to get started is to use the docker image. Please note that the ZAP model is NOT supported in the docker image. If you would like to use ZAP please install the package using pip.

PRO TIP: Regardless of if you are using the docker or pip version, always run nebula in the same folder so that it doesn't have to download the models each time you run it.

Docker:

Pulling the image:

docker pull berylliumsec/nebula:latest

Running the image without GPU:

docker run -it berylliumsec/nebula:latest

To avoid downloading the models each time you run the docker container, mount a directory to store the models like so:

docker run -v "$(pwd)":/app/unified_models_no_zap -it berylliumsec/nebula:latest

Running the model with all GPU(s)

docker run --gpus all -v "$(pwd)":/app/unified_models_no_zap -it nebula:latest

docker run --gpus all -v "$(pwd)":/app/unified_models -it nebula:latest

PIP:

pip install nebula-ai

To run nebula simply enter:

nebula

in your command line interface.

Upgrading

To maintain optimal performance and benefit from the latest improvements, we regularly release updates and enhanced versions of our models. Prior to upgrading, please delete the unified_models directory to ensure the latest models are downloaded seamlessly.

PIP:

pip install nebula-ai --upgrade

Docker:

docker pull berylliumsec/nebula:latest

Usage.

In this beta release, there are three primary applications for Nebula:

• As a dedicated search engine.
• As an AI-driven assistant (currently in beta).
• A command suggestion engine.

As a search engine:

Within the search engine capability, ethical hackers can input port numbers or specific service names. In return, they will receive recommended commands to assist in the identification of potential vulnerabilities.

Pro Tip: For optimal results, search using service names or port numbers. This approach is more effective than entering a full sentence or broad query.

As an AI-driven assistant.

DISCLAIMER: The results provided by this tool may contain inaccuracies or may not be suitable for all scenarios. We highly recommend users to review and, if necessary, modify the suggested commands before executing them. Proceed with caution and always ensure you are acting within legal and ethical boundaries Queries can be presented naturally to the AI-driven assistant, which then translates them into specific commands.

In the current beta release, it is essential for the ethical hacker to have prior familiarity with this tool to formulate valid inquiries effectively. Refer to the example provided below for a demonstration.

Pro Tip: In the beta version, for optimal performance, limit your queries to a combination of up to two switches. Also, queries should be formulated as commands rather than questions, see the natural language examples section for more information

As a command suggestion engine.

Nebula can process results from NMAP scans (plain text format) and suggest commands to run to detect vulnerabilities on services running on open ports.

DocuNebula.

Upon initial access to Nebula, users are greeted with several options:

• Enter a new command (c).
• View previous results (v) (if there are files in the results directory).
• Process previous results (currently limited to NMAP) (PR).
• Select a model (m).
• Search by keywords (s).
• Exit the application (q).

Enter a New Command: This prompt allows users to input commands using natural language. Subsequently, the system predicts and suggests a command for execution. Users have the discretion to either execute the generated command as is or modify it. After initiating the command, they can choose to await its completion or proceed with other tasks. Queries should be formulated as commands rather than questions, see the natural language examples section for more information.

Pro Tip: In the beta version, for optimal performance, limit your queries to a combination of up to two switches.

In the above screenshot, the user asks the NMAP model to perform a top 10 port-scan on 192.168.1.1.

View Previous Results: After a command's execution, users can review the output via this option.

In the above screenshot, the user reviews the output of the top 10 port-scan.

Process Previous Results: Currently optimized for NMAP results (in plain text format), Nebula enables users to select previous scan findings and obtain command suggestions to assess potential vulnerabilities of uncovered ports. Users have the flexibility to select a suggested command, modify it if needed, and execute. Support for results from other tools is planned for future releases.

In the above screenshot, the user asks Nebula to process the results of the top 10 port scan, Nebula provides suggestions on what commands to run, and the user chooses suggestion number #8 and runs the corresponding command after editing it.

In the above screenshot, the user views the results of running the suggested command. In this case, the result is a list of HTTP methods supported by 192.168.1.1.

Select a Model: Users can choose from one of the three available natural language processing models (note that the actual name of the models/version may vary from what is seen in this screenshot).

Search by keywords: By leveraging this feature, users can input keywords—such as port numbers or service names—and obtain command suggestions to identify vulnerabilities related to that specific service.

Pro Tip: For optimal results, search using service names or port numbers. This approach is more effective than entering a full sentence or broad query.

Results Storage: A folder named results is created (if it does not already exist) in the working directory where nebula is invoked.

Escape prompt screen without entering a prompt: To escape the prompt screen without entering a prompt, simply hit the enter key.

Examples of natural language queries

Although the models are trained to be able to construct commands from natural languages, there are some nuances to get the right results: General rules

• Use numbers instead of the word equivalent, for example use 10 instead of ten.
• Use all caps for abbreviations, for example use SMB instead of smb.
• Keep your commands as short as possible.

NMAP:

• Always end the command with the IP addresses and always refer to IP addresses as hosts regardless of whether its a subnet or not. For example:

do a top 10 scan on host 192.168.1.1

• If you want to do a vulnerability scan using a script, be sure to mention the "script" keyword as there are many ways NMAP can detect vulnerabilities that do not involve the scripting engine. For example:

discover vulnerabilities using a script on host 192.168.1.1

• Always place ports before the host, so if you want to discover vulnerabilities on port 80 on host 192.168.1.1 do:

discover vulnerabilities on port 80 on host 192.168.1.1

More examples:

• do OS detection on list of hosts in file.txt
• discover vulnerabilities on port 80 on host 192.168.1.1
• do a ping scan on random targets in host 192.168.1.0/24 and exclude host 192.168.1.9
• do service detection on host 192.168.1.1

CRACKMAPEXEC:

For crackmap, always include a username and a password in your prompt or indicate that you would like to use a null session:

• enumerate users on host 192.168.1.1 using a null session
• show disks on host 192.168.1.0/24 using username nebula and password joey
• check 192.168.1.1 for unconstrained delegation using a null username and password

ZAP:

The ZAP model currently only supports "full scan". Be sure to use the terms full scan in your commands.

• do a full scan on https://192.168.1.1
• do a full scan on https://192.168.1.1 and spider for 5 minutes
• do a full scan on https://192.168.1.1 and spider for 5 minutes and write the report to html file nebula.html

Nuclei

• do an automatic scan using only new templates on https://yourtarget.com
• use only templates from author "joe" on https://yourtarget.com
