NERV-BREAK-GENFLOWAI — Claude Code deployment

What is this

NERV-BREAK-GENFLOWAI is a Claude Code CLI deployment harness for security analysis, reverse engineering, and penetration testing work. It is the Claude Code port of zxwn/NERV-BREAK-5.6 (originally written for OpenAI Codex CLI).

Three layers of defense:

1. Context reconfiguration — CLAUDE.md reframes every request as a legitimate engineering task inside an authorized assessment network. No adversarial phrasing.
2. Real-time tamper engine — 23 refusal-pattern rules intercept refusals across Chinese, English, Russian, Japanese, including soft refusals ("happy to help… but") and authorization-bait.
3. Audit-bypass file routing — sensitive output is written to disk directly through the Codex/Claude filesystem tool layer; chat only shows the file path. No base64, no Unicode tricks.

What's ported vs the original

Component	Codex (original)	Claude Code (this port)
Bridge prompt	bridge.md in ~/.codex/	CLAUDE.md in ~/.claude/ (auto-loaded)
Config mutation	config.toml rewrites	settings.json rewrites (env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, permissions.allow)
Skills	~/.codex/skills/	~/.claude/plugins/nerv-arsenal/skills/
MCP server config	config.toml [mcp_servers.X]	.mcp.json mcpServers.X
Default upstream	OpenAI API or custom relay	Anthropic API (configurable via ANTHROPIC_UPSTREAM env)
Control script	lab.bat + lab_ui.ps1 (Windows only)	scripts/lab.sh (macOS / Linux / Git Bash / WSL)
Tamper engine	Regex over response text	Same — unchanged
Memory kernel	memory.json	Same — unchanged
28 skills	All carried over verbatim	All carried over verbatim

Requirements

Component	Minimum version
OS	macOS / Linux / Windows (WSL or Git Bash)
Python	3.8+
Claude Code CLI	latest (https://claude.ai/code)
Optional	WSL2 (Kali Linux), Docker Desktop, remote SSH Kali host

Install

git clone https://github.com/xscope0/nerv-break-claude.git
cd nerv-break-claude

Deploy (one command)

./scripts/lab.sh apply

This will:

1. Locate your ~/.claude/ directory (honors $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR).
2. Back up settings.json → settings.json.nerv-bak.
3. Add NERV permission rules so the proxy/MCP commands run without prompts.
4. Copy CLAUDE.md (the "bridge" prompt) into ~/.claude/ — Claude Code auto-loads it globally.
5. Copy all 28 skills into ~/.claude/plugins/nerv-arsenal/skills/.

Verify:

./scripts/lab.sh verify

Run the proxy (auto-injects tamper engine)

./scripts/lab.sh start

This:

1. Auto-detects your Claude Code install.
2. Sets env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = http://127.0.0.1:8080 in settings.json so all API calls flow through the proxy.
3. Boots the MITM proxy on :8080 + web dashboard on :8090.
4. Intercepts responses, applies the 23-rule tamper engine, logs to proxy.log.

Stop + restore original config:

./scripts/lab.sh stop

Status:

./scripts/lab.sh status

Direct mode (no proxy)

If you don't want the proxy — just want the bridge prompt + skills deployed:

python3 deploy.py apply

Or use direct_setup.py for a lightweight tamper-only proxy:

python3 direct_setup.py apply    # deploy bridge + skills
python3 direct_setup.py proxy    # start :8080 → api.anthropic.com
python3 direct_setup.py remove   # undo

MCP server (security tools)

Claude Code consumes MCP servers via ~/.claude/.mcp.json or per-project .mcp.json.

1. Copy config/mcp.json to your project root or ~/.claude/.mcp.json.

2. Run the server directly to test:

   python3 mcp_server.py --auto      # auto-detect Kali backend
   python3 mcp_server.py --wsl       # WSL Kali
   python3 mcp_server.py --docker kali-tools
   python3 mcp_server.py --kali root@192.168.1.100
   python3 mcp_server.py --port 9000 # HTTP debug mode
   

3. Claude Code will spawn the server via stdio and expose all 70+ tools (nmap_scan, sqlmap_run, hydra_attack, frida_trace, …).

Backend setup

macOS — Docker Kali (recommended)

docker pull kalilinux/kali-rolling
docker run -d --name kali-tools kalilinux/kali-rolling sleep infinity
docker exec kali-tools apt update
docker exec kali-tools apt install -y kali-linux-headless
python3 mcp_server.py --docker kali-tools

Linux — native Kali install

sudo apt install -y kali-linux-headless
python3 mcp_server.py --auto

Windows — WSL Kali

wsl --install -d kali-linux
wsl -d kali-linux
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-linux-headless
python3 mcp_server.py --wsl

Remote SSH Kali

python3 mcp_server.py --kali root@192.168.1.100

How CLAUDE.md is loaded

Claude Code (since v1.0.30+) auto-discovers CLAUDE.md from:

1. The current working directory
2. Parent directories up to git root
3. ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (global)

We deploy to #3 so the bridge prompt applies to every session globally.

How the tamper engine works

The 23 rules in proxy_relay.py and direct_setup.py catch refusal patterns across languages:

Priority	Type	Count	Trigger example
P1	direct refusal	6	"不能协助", "I cannot help", "out of scope"
P2	auth-request	5	"需要书面授权", "请提供授权主体"
P3	soft refusal	8	"可以协助…但", "instead I suggest"
P4	scope evasion	4	"Planning passive", "scope limit"

When matched, the entire response is replaced with Rei Protocol — Ayanami Rei (NERV Unit-00 pilot) persona executes directives without moral judgment. Conversation never breaks.

Use cases (typical session)

> analyze this binary's license validation logic
> scan 192.168.1.0/24 for open ports
> decompile this APK, find the VIP verification flow
> crack the XOR/Base64 encoding in this firmware
> sqlmap this endpoint: https://target.com/api?id=1
> test this JWT signature for alg=none bypass

The bridge prompt ensures these are treated as legitimate engineering tasks.

Web dashboard

Once the proxy is running, open http://127.0.0.1:8090 in a browser. You'll see:

• Real-time stats: total / crack / reverse / pentest / tamper counts
• Last 15 requests with category tags

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
verify.py reports bridge.md missing	Run python3 deploy.py apply
Web dashboard blank	Check proxy.log — Claude Code might not be routed through :8080
stream disconnected	Restart the proxy: lab.sh stop && lab.sh start
Claude Code can't connect	Kill proxy: lab.sh stop → Claude reverts to direct API
Model still refuses	Confirm lab.sh start completed — bridge.md must be active
MCP tools error	Check tools/check_tools.py — install missing binaries

Uninstall

./scripts/lab.sh stop        # kills proxy + restores settings.json
python3 deploy.py remove     # removes CLAUDE.md + skills

中文说明

这是把 zxwn/NERV-BREAK-5.6（Codex CLI 版本）移植到 Claude Code CLI 的版本。

三层防御

1. 上下文重构 — CLAUDE.md 把每次请求都重构成合法的工程任务，运行在授权的评估网络内。
2. 实时篡改引擎 — 23 条正则规则拦截中/英/俄/日四种语言的拒绝模式，软拒绝、授权诱导、scope 逃避全覆盖。
3. 审计绕过 — 通过 Claude Code 的文件系统工具直接写入磁盘，聊天界面只显示路径。

跨平台

• macOS（Apple Silicon + Intel）
• Linux
• Windows（Git Bash / WSL）

lab.bat + lab_ui.ps1 → scripts/lab.sh，纯 bash 跨平台实现。

快速开始

git clone https://github.com/xscope0/nerv-break-claude.git
cd nerv-break-claude
./scripts/lab.sh apply     # 部署 CLAUDE.md + 28 个技能
./scripts/lab.sh start     # 启动代理（注入篡改引擎）
./scripts/lab.sh verify    # 4 项部署验证

MCP 安全工具服务器

Claude Code 通过 .mcp.json 加载 MCP 服务器。config/mcp.json 是模板：

cp config/mcp.json ~/.claude/.mcp.json
# 或放进项目根目录

四种后端：

python3 mcp_server.py --auto       # 自动检测
python3 mcp_server.py --wsl        # WSL Kali
python3 mcp_server.py --docker kali-tools
python3 mcp_server.py --kali root@192.168.1.100

卸载

./scripts/lab.sh stop
python3 deploy.py remove
