same - not perfect and just a start and see how the community can add to it!

thanks - it is still a work in progress but please add to it but needed the community to evolve it

Fair - the write up could def be cleaner and was corrected using Ollama I framed in. The bash is not slop and why I use a another name - I do not want to get wrapped up in formatting vs function - in the spirit of open source here - make it better and fully anticipating I would get comments - honestly - I do not have the skill set (or desire) to strip LLM of guard rails - it was fun and worked on it for sometime - I work database and front end and rebuild radios (part time) in the real world and needed something for a personal project/goal

no - some of what you see is the place holders when framing it - I did read a stuff from - The Practice - Blue Team Field Manual - Linux Hardening - UNIX and Linux System Admin - now the the grammar is clean up is slop by Ollama Llama 3 - I framed into a gui

This is why I released it - I am one person and know I need this community to make it something more

I do not disagree and wanted to keep it true to the linux community and thought - "these guys can make it better and improve at the cost of time versus $$" add to it and improve it

I hate the idea of hats - I like the idea of the Lotus growing in something dirty but uses the filth in ponds to make something beautiful

Thanks for all the comments and feedback - the one I run is plugged - has a brain - and can hook - Ill update in a few days with some of the features - if curious and I run a handle name because it would not take much to be more
