ChaosticTool v2.1.0: safer uninstall and PTY-backed runner

ChaosticTool is an open-source toolkit for authorized security assessments. It offers a command-line interface and a desktop application, and aims to give security testers a single, consistent workflow over common recon and assessment tools. It is meant for people who are allowed to test the systems in scope.

What's new in v2.1.0

  • A safer uninstaller: dry-run mode, allow-listed removal, and clear handling of distribution packages. The chaostictool-uninstall command is shipped with packages and notes external tools that remain after removal.
  • The installer records pip --user installs so uninstall can reverse them.
  • A POSIX pseudo-terminal backend for interactive tool execution.
  • Subdomain enumeration runs in the shared TUI operation view, and a crash in the CLI during enumeration is fixed.
  • A rotating diagnostic log records swallowed install and privilege errors to help troubleshooting.
  • The installer requires a published SHA-256 before placing downloaded binaries.
  • Assessment phases and the tool catalogue are derived from one shared manifest.

Installation

  • Linux: use the deb, rpm or AppImage packages, or the tarball, from the release page.
  • macOS: use the dmg for your architecture.
  • Windows: use the setup executable or install via winget.
