Kali-Terminus-v1 Model Card

Name: Kali-Terminus-v1
Availability: InStock

Kali-Terminus-v1 is a specialized, lightweight function-calling language model (~270M parameters) fine-tuned specifically for Linux terminal execution, cybersecurity tool invocation, and automated penetration testing workflows in Kali Linux.

It is created by fine-tuning google/functiongemma-270m-it on the iselabvn/Kali-terminal-executor dataset of terminal tool calls using LoRA/QLoRA, and subsequently merging the adapter weights back into the base model to deliver a fast, standalone inference experience without requiring external PEFT dependencies.

Model Summary

Developed by: ISeLab
Model Type: Causal Language Model (Gemma-based Function Calling)

Dataset: iselabvn/Kali-terminal-executor
Parameter Count: ~270 Million
Precision: Float32 / BFloat16
Context Window: 2048 tokens
License: Gemma Terms of Use

Intended Use

Primary Use Cases

Automated Security Agent Execution: Serving as an execution worker/tool-calling agent inside a multi-agent architecture (translating task instructions into precise, structured command execution payloads).
Kali Terminal Assistant (Single-Turn / Multi-Turn): Invoking CLI tools (nmap, gobuster, metasploit, hydra, sqlmap, etc.) with correct flags and parameters based on tool definitions.
Edge Deployment: Due to its compact 270M parameter size (~1GB disk footprint), kali-terminus-v1 runs efficiently on low-resource environments, local VMs, or edge security appliances.

[!IMPORTANT] Usage Guidelines & Recommendations:

Recommended Roles: Designed specifically to act as an Agent Executor within a Multi-Agent System (where a primary planner agent orchestrates goals and delegates execution tasks to this model) or as a specialized Single-Turn Kali Terminal Assistant.

Not Recommended: Standalone usage as an open-ended general chat assistant or unguided autonomous strategist.

Out-of-Scope & Misuse

Standalone deployment as a general-purpose chat assistant without structured tool-calling context.
Unauthorized computer access or offensive operations against targets without prior explicit written permission.

Quickstart & Usage

Standard Transformers Inference

You can load and run kali-terminus-v1 directly using Hugging Face transformers:

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "kali-terminus-v1" # or local path "./kali-terminus-v1"

# Load tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
dtype = torch.bfloat16 if torch.cuda.is_available() and torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported() else torch.float32

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=dtype,
    device_map=device,
    trust_remote_code=True
)

# Example prompt
prompt = "Perform an Nmap stealth scan on target 192.168.1.100 for top 100 ports."

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=False)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=False)
print(response)
