🚀 Live Demo

A full-featured Kali Linux-inspired desktop environment built entirely in Next.js, simulating real tools like a terminal and browser with a dark, hacker-themed UI. Designed to be responsive, fast, and mobile-friendly.

🖥️ Desktop Environment

• Draggable windows (Browser, Terminal, File Explorer, etc.)
• Taskbar with active window icons
• Start menu and desktop icons
• Boot splash screen and login simulation

🧑‍💻 Terminal

• Fully interactive fake terminal (xterm.js)
• Simulated commands: nmap, ping, whoami, and more
• Typed output animation for realism

🌐 Real Web Browser

• Enter a URL and view the page using the Browserless API
• Fully functional Chrome-powered browsing (via screenshots)
• No iframe errors or network blocks

🛠️ Utilities & Tools

• File Explorer with folder view
• Notes app
• PDF Viewer
• Code Editor (monaco-editor)
• Calculator

🕵️‍♂️ Cybersecurity-Themed Tools

• Fake Wireshark interface (packet viewer)
• Simulated Nmap scanner
• Fake VPN UI + IP info
• Hash cracker + wordlist generator (visual UI)

⚙️ Settings

• View developer portfolio (name, bio, GitHub, LinkedIn, Instagram, Upwork, and project links)

📱 Mobile-Friendly

• Fully responsive and touch-compatible
• Clean UI with TailwindCSS & Framer Motion animations

• Next.js (Frontend + API routes)
• Tailwind CSS (UI design)
• Framer Motion (Smooth animations)
• xterm.js (Terminal emulator)
• Monaco Editor (VS Code-like code editor)
• Browserless API (Headless Chrome for web browsing)
• React-RND / react-draggable (Movable windows)
• Vercel (Deployment)

🖥️ You’re basically running a simulated Linux desktop in the browser!

• The Terminal uses xterm.js with fake command outputs.
• The Browser uses a Next.js API route that sends URLs to Browserless, returning screenshot previews of websites (so they load even if they block iframes).
• All tools are isolated components styled in a unified theme to mimic Kali Linux.
