Frequently Asked Questions

This happens when a required Python library is missing. You need to install it manually using pip.

Common missing modules examples:

If you see 'command not found' (e.g., for git, python, or curl), the package is not installed in Termux.

Instead of installing packages one by one, you can use the built-in 'Update Packages' feature in Settings. This installs all necessary Python and Termux dependencies automatically.

Sometimes the script successfully updates modules, but the loading animation freezes. If the update takes more than 15 minutes, the installation is likely done, but the interface has hung.

If scripts cannot save files or you get 'Permission Denied', Termux needs storage access. Run this command to request it from Android.

After running this, click 'Allow' on the Android popup.

If installations fail with repository errors or dpkg interruptions, try this command to fix the package manager.

If Termux closes or stops your attacks when you turn off the screen, you need to acquire a Wake Lock. This prevents Android from killing the process.

To disable it, simply run: termux-wake-unlock

If packages are downloading very slowly or failing, try changing your repository mirror to a faster one.

Select all three options using spacebar, then press enter and choose 'Grimler' or 'Mirrors.bfsu'.

Over time, downloaded package files take up space. You can safely remove them without uninstalling your tools.

DedSec Project supports 3 menu styles. If the 'Grid' style looks broken on your screen, you can switch to 'List' or 'Number' mode via Settings.

Or simply run Settings.py and select option 5 'Change Menu Style'.

DedSec modifies your terminal startup files. To uninstall correctly and restore your original settings, use the uninstall option found in Settings.

Select option 8: 'Uninstall DedSec Project'. This will restore your original bash.bashrc and remove the project.

No. 95% of the tools in DedSec Project are designed to work without Root. However, some advanced features (like WiFi hacking with Aircrack-ng) may require Root or an external adapter, but the core toolkit is Root-free.

You can update the toolkit in three main ways: run the installation command again, go into the repository folder and pull the latest changes from GitHub, or open Settings.py and use the update option inside Project Settings. If you use the built-in settings menu, it is the easiest guided way to update the project from inside DedSec itself.

Then open Project Settings and choose the project update option.

The code is open source, meaning you can read every line before running it. We do not include malware. However, your Antivirus might flag them as 'HackTools' because they are designed for penetration testing. Use them responsibly.

Because we know freedom is a human right and not something to buy.

You may not be a hacker, but you would like to keep your personal life private.

DedSec Project is free and open source. If you like our work, you can support us in the following ways:

Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment. In practice, it gives your phone or tablet a command line, package manager, and access to tools like Python, Git, SSH, editors, and many other command-line programs.

Good default: use the official F-Droid package or the official GitHub releases/builds. Official Termux docs also describe a Google Play branch as experimental compared with the stable F-Droid build, so most users are still better served by F-Droid or official GitHub sources.

No. Official Termux installation docs note that you can download the Termux APK directly from the official F-Droid package page. Many people still install the F-Droid app because it makes updates easier to manage.

A good first setup is: update packages, install the basics you need, and then grant storage access.

Because Termux does not automatically get access to your shared storage. Running termux-setup-storage asks Android for the permission and prepares the usual shared-storage links so folders like Downloads become easier to reach.

Useful add-ons include Termux:API for Android/device integrations, Termux:Styling for colors and fonts, Termux:Widget for home-screen shortcuts, Termux:Boot for startup scripts, and Termux:Float for a floating terminal window.

Termux uses a rolling-release style package environment. Partial upgrades can leave binaries and libraries out of sync, so a full package update is usually safer than fixing one dependency at a time forever.

For most users, the clean order is: install official Termux, open it once, allow storage, update all packages, install the main tools you need, and only then move into project-specific commands.

After that, move into the project folder and follow that project’s own install steps.

On most Android phones, the shared Downloads folder appears in Termux at the path below after you run termux-setup-storage.

This is the folder used by many install commands, ZIP extraction steps, and export features.

Use unzip with a source ZIP path and a target folder. The -o flag overwrites older files when you are updating an existing project.

Replace PROJECT.zip with the real ZIP name you downloaded.

These are the most common navigation commands.

Use cat for quick output, less for easier reading, and nano for simple editing.

Use Ctrl+C to interrupt a running command, clear to clean the terminal view, and exit to close the current shell session.

Use cd to jump back into the folder where your scripts live. After changing folders, run pwd so you can confirm the exact location before launching anything.

Two of the safest commands are pwd and ls. pwd shows where you are. ls shows what files are there. If the script name is missing, move with cd first.

When a script says it exported files to Android Downloads, list that folder directly from Termux.

DedSec Project is a Termux-centered toolkit and website that brings together installation help, tool descriptions, FAQs, project pages, and guided resources in one place. The goal is to make starting, learning, and using the project much easier.

It is aimed at beginners, curious learners, privacy-minded users, and more advanced users who want a more organized mobile toolkit and site guide. You do not need to be an expert to start.

No. Programming knowledge helps over time, but the site is designed so you can begin from the installation guide, copy commands, use menus, and learn gradually.

Best order: Home page for the overview, Guide For Installation for setup, Learn About The Tools for categories and script descriptions, and FAQ whenever you hit a problem or want fast answers.

The basic flow is: install Termux, update packages, install Git, clone the repository, and run the setup script.

For the main site experience and onboarding, the project is presented as working on most phones without root. Root is not shown as the normal starting requirement.

Yes. The site includes English and Greek content, and the interface can switch language. The FAQ and assistant also support both languages.

Use the Learn About The Tools page. It groups the project into categories and gives descriptions for each script so you can browse by purpose instead of guessing from filenames.

Use GitHub Issues for reproducible bugs. Use the Contact & Credits page for broader support, project communication, and contact-style questions.

A simple beginner path is: Home for the overview, Guide For Installation for setup, Learn About The Tools for explanations, FAQ for quick fixes, and Contact & Credits when you want support or project links.

Use the exclusive pages when you want details about locked, sponsor-tier, or specially documented scripts. Those pages explain what the tool is, the intended use, and where it fits on the site.

ButSystem Exclusive

Open the Contact & Credits page for support routes, project communication, and contributor credit information in one place.

Contact & Credits

Use the Learn About The Tools page to read descriptions and understand the role of each script before you run anything in Termux.

Learn About The Tools

The assistant matches words, short phrases, categories, and quick prompts to the closest answer stored in the website data. It is designed to help you jump to the right page or get a short answer without opening every section manually.

You can tap starter prompts, category buttons, tool names, Termux topics, or short requests such as install termux, ButSystem.py, guide for installation, or contact the project.

If more than one topic is close to your prompt, the assistant shows related choices so you can pick the best match instead of getting the wrong page directly.
