# Installing Additional Tools

While many tools can be installed to the Bash Bunny as you would any typical Debian based Linux computer, such as *`apt install`*, *`git clone`*, a dedicated tools folder from the mass storage partition simplifies the process. Accessible from arming mode, tools in either .deb format or entire directories can be easily copied to `/tools` on the root of the mass storage partition. Then on the next boot of the Bash Bunny in Arming mode, these tools will be installed – indicated by `LED SETUP` (Solid Magenta light).

On boot into arming mode, any .deb file placed in the tools folder will be installed with `dpkg`. Then any remaining file or directory will be moved to `/tools` on the root file system.

Some payloads may require additional third party tools. For example, the [rdp\_checker](https://payloadhub.com/blogs/payloads/rdp-checker) payload requires impacket to be located in /tools/impacket. This can be installed by copying either the impacket directory or an impacket.deb file to the `/tools` directory and booting into arming mode. The rdp\_checker payload also makes use of the `REQUIRETOOL` extension, which checks for the existence of this tool and exits with a red blinking `LED FAIL` state if the tool is not found.

A list of pre-compiled tools is available from [this forum thread](https://forums.hak5.org/topic/40971-info-tools/).
