ARGOS

This script will automatically set up an open source intelligence (OSINT) workstation starting from a clean Ubuntu* 22.04 LTS Virtual Machine/Workstation.
Best practices recommend using a new VM for each OSInt investigation.
Even if there are several ready-made VMs available on the Internet, I wanted to study how to customise my workstation following what Michael Bazzell suggests in his book, Open Source Intelligence Techniques - 7th Edition, about creating your own custom VM.
This script will set up the workstation by installing most of the scripts suggested by Michael, and further tools will be added in the future.

REQUIREMENTS

To install and run Argos, you need:

• an Ubuntu* 22.04 LTS virtual machine/workstation

This script implies that you rely on VmWare for virtualization. Just in case, I included a commented out portion of code which will install virtual box tools.

N.B.: This script has been tested on:

• Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS VM.
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VM.
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM (Firefox will not be customised).
