🐋Using Docker

Installing Docker for Windows/Mac

If Python is available it is recommended to install NetExec with pipx

For Windows and Mac (x86_64/arm64) we recommend installing Docker Desktop. Especially Mac, as installation tends to be flaky via other means.

Download Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

Requires Windows 10/11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education and CPU virtualization enabled in BIOS (Intel VT-x / AMD-V)

After installation, the Docker Desktop process needs to be running and can be backgrounded

Installing Docker for Unix

Docker can be installed on WSL2, as this version does not treat Docker as a nested hypervisor

Installing Docker for Ubuntu/Debian

apt install docker.io
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker

Installing Docker for Arch Linux

pacman -S docker
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker

To avoid running Docker as root, without sudo

usermod -aG docker $USER

Building NetExec Docker Container

Building and running the container

git clone https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec
cd NetExec
docker build -t netexec .
docker run --rm -it netexec --help
