Turn Your Android Terminal Into a Pro Hacker Console

Turn Your Android Termux Into a Pro Hacker Console 🚀

Termux-banner

Let’s be honest, the default Bash prompt in Termux is pretty boring. It works, but it doesn’t feel inspiring.

If you use Termux on your Android device for development, ethical hacking tasks, or just managing servers on the go, why staring at a plain screen?

I built a tool called Termux-banner to automate the process of turning that dull terminal into something that looks straight out of Mr. Robot or Watch Dogs.

What it does

It’s not just about ASCII art. This script automates the setup of a powerful Zsh environment.

  • ⚡️ Instant Zsh Setup: Installs Oh My Zsh, auto-suggestions, and syntax highlighting automatically.
  • 🎨 13+ Themes: Choose from styles like Cyber Dashboard (with real-time RAM/Storage stats), DedSec skulls, Glitch protocols, and more.
  • 👤 Dynamic: You enter your name once, and it's embedded into the art.
  • đź”° No Root Needed: Works on any standard Termux installation.

Quick Install

If you want to try it out fast, just run these commands in Termux:

pkg install git -y
git clone https://github.com/h4ck3r0/Termux-banner
cd Termux-banner
chmod +x *
bash requirements.sh

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run option 1 first for setup, then option 2 to choose your banner.

The Full Walkthrough

While the installation is straightforward, I've written a complete, in-depth guide that explains exactly what the script does, previews all the available designs, and provides troubleshooting tips.
