GHOSTSHELL

GHOSTSHELL: Development Plan

A Post-Quantum Secure Terminal and Network Toolkit, Reimagined in Rust

GHOSTSHELL is a next-generation cybersecurity terminal and AI-augmented operations suite, built from the ground up using the Rust programming language for unmatched performance, safety, and concurrency. It’s designed as a post-quantum secure, immersive, and extensible desktop environment for cybersecurity professionals, network engineers, and advanced system operators.

1. Post-Quantum Security First:
   Leverage Rust’s memory safety and integrate cryptographic primitives with quantum resistance to future-proof terminal operations.
    
2. Unified CyberOps Suite:
   Provide a single, modular, immersive platform combining AI-driven intelligence, advanced network tooling, system monitoring, and secure terminal access.
    
3. Immersive UI/UX:
   Employ a rich, cyberpunk-inspired, dynamic interface with MP4 video backgrounds, holographic UI panels, animated widgets, and responsive theming.
    

• Native integration with PowerShell & Bash
• Command history, recall, autocomplete via clink-like behavior
• Crossterm-based terminal engine with high performance rendering
• AES-256 + PQC-backed session encryption
• Built-in SSH with PQ-ready key exchange
• Drag-and-drop file system support
• ANSI rendering with themeable overlays (e.g., grid, CRT scanlines)
   

• Hugging Face integration (e.g., Lily-Cybersecurity-7B or custom LLM)
• Inline command recommendations
• Threat log analysis & incident summarization
• Real-time question answering (doc + internet based)
• Natural language command execution ("scan subnet" → tool launch)
• Secure offline mode using local models
   

• Real-time visual traceroute, ping, and BGP route map 
• Neo4j-backed network topology graphs with zoom/pan
• SSID & wireless signal analyzer (planned GhostWave integration)
• Built-in Wireshark-lite viewer
• Device fingerprinting, vendor resolution, geolocation
   

• Live resource graphs: CPU, RAM, disk I/O, network usage
• Security events dashboard (Windows Event Viewer & syslog feeds)
• AI-assisted anomaly detection and alerts
• Process tree viewer with AI commentary ("Is this suspicious?")
   

• Store SSH keys, API tokens, VPN profiles with biometric/unlock key 
• Auto-inject credentials into terminal environments
• Toolchain launcher: manage scripts, packages, configs
• Vault partition supports YubiKey, FIDO2 unlock
   

• Built in Rust + Tauri + Dioxus, multi-window architecture

• Child windows (T3RM, AI, DIAG, MON, VAULT): detachable, resizable, skinned
• Neon-lit UI widgets, blur-glass panels, animated feedback
• Theme engine with light/dark/cyberpunk, neon pulse, and "Ghost Mode"
   

• GhostWave integration: Wireless recon and pen-test toolkit in Go 
• Plugin system for scripts (Rust, Python, Bash) with signed manifest validation
• Integrated Coqui TTS & Whisper speech support for accessibility
• Support for distributed command dispatch across air-gapped nodes
• Exportable audit reports from session history
• Live collaborative terminal sharing (end-to-end encrypted)
   

• Windows-first deployment, with Linux and macOS roadmap
• Built to run entirely offline with optional cloud sync
• Ultra-low resource footprint, <150MB memory target
• Fast boot, modular loading via lazy execution strategy
   

• Red Teamers & Network Defenders
