# 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/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.hak5.org/bash-bunny/getting-started/installing-additional-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
