CyberDeck

CyberDeck is a terminal-based penetration testing command dictionary and cookbook with a sci-fi CRT aesthetic inspired by Alien, Blade Runner, and classic hacker films. Built in Python using curses, it delivers an immersive, retro-futuristic interface for browsing, searching, and copying commands for execution

Whether you're on a red team engagement, CTF, or just need quick access to common tools, CyberDeck keeps your workflow fast, organized, and visually epic.
