🛠 Deduced Tech Stack
Thanks to Hermes agent, I just send one message from my phone and the team instantly spoofs an SMS... in today's video, I'm going to show you how to use Hermes agent to build a full team of hacking agents
Explicitly mentioned as the core agentic framework being used throughout the entire project
I'm going to set the provider to open router because it gives us access to 100 plus models... go to open router.ai
Explicitly configured as the AI model provider/API gateway for accessing multiple LLMs
It's called Z.AI... which AI model are you using... it's using the ZAI GLM5 Turbo
Explicitly selected and confirmed as the specific LLM model being used
I'm going to be installing it on Hostinger because with them, you can start a server on the cloud with Hermes Agent pre-installed... go to hostinger.com/zsecurity
Explicitly mentioned as the cloud hosting provider with pre-configured Hermes deployment
I'm going to hit space on the Telegram... create a bot using the BotFather... copy the API token from Telegram and paste it into Hermes
Explicitly configured Telegram bot integration with BotFather and API tokens
Copy the SSH command... run the SSH command... we're going to use the -L option... using the traditional SSH command
Explicitly used for secure remote access and port forwarding to the VPS
the canban board... you get a board that looks like any other board... we have a to-do board... ready board... in progress... blocked... done
Explicitly demonstrated using Kanban methodology for task management within Hermes dashboard
Previously, we used OpenClaw to build a personal hacking assistant... This is only one of the reasons why Hermes agent now is the top on open router and not open claw
Explicitly mentioned as previously used alternative agentic framework, now replaced by Hermes
We're going to click terminal. And this will drop us into the Docker container from which Hermes is running... it's running inside of a Docker container
Explicitly mentioned that Hermes runs inside Docker containers for isolation
Hermes dashboard... localhost followed by 9119... this looks really really good and it's so much more reliable than the open claw dashboard
Explicitly mentioned custom web dashboard running on port 9119 with chat interface and Kanban board
research SMS gateways that allow us to set the sender name... signing up with SMS gateways usually requires verification... the SMS message has been sent
Explicitly researched and integrated third-party SMS gateway for spoofing capabilities
we're using the -L argument in order to link the IP of the Docker container... to my own computer so that I can access it using local host
Explicitly used SSH local port forwarding (-L flag) to access Docker container services
You could access the skills in here... it comes with many verified skills... god mode skill... create a skill so that it can reuse it in the future
Explicitly demonstrated modular skills system for extending Hermes capabilities with reusable components
hostname ii... terminal commands... VPS setup with SSH access
Strong implication from Unix/Linux commands (hostname -i) and SSH usage typical of Linux VPS
it's going to ask for my location... if I click allow... exact address on the map... latitude and the longitude
Browser geolocation API used in the tracking page to capture device location
build a DHL package tracking page... it looks very nice, very professional... It's already populated with a tracking number
Standard web technologies implied for building the phishing/tracking page with interactive elements
build a DHL package tracking page... deploy it... Same link, but forward/admin... it's deployed on the cloud
Hermes deployed a web application with both public tracking page and admin panel, implying built-in web server
I'm going to enable Telegram notifications... I got a notification on my telegram that the research task is complete... we get a notification telling us that the SMS implementation task has been blocked
Real-time Telegram notifications for task status changes implies webhook or polling-based notification system
Dashboard accessible via localhost:9119... admin panel at /admin endpoint... tracking page deployment
HTTP-based services running on specific ports with RESTful endpoint structure (/admin)
It's got the screen size with the IP address and the exact address on the map
IP address captured and mapped to physical location suggests integration with IP geolocation API
Hermes agent framework... terminal commands... AI agent orchestration... skills system
Hermes Agent and similar agentic frameworks are typically Python-based; command-line interface and agent orchestration patterns consistent with Python
As you can see, the ready task got moved automatically to in progress... these two tasks are running in parallel... you'll see that this task got moved to done
Real-time automatic UI updates in dashboard suggest WebSocket/SSE for live task status synchronization
I have a new entry in here... dashboard showing tracking data with IP, location, screen size
Admin dashboard displaying collected tracking data implies some form of data persistence (likely SQLite or similar)
exact address on the map... It's actually given it to me right here on a nice map in my own dashboard
Interactive map display in admin dashboard suggests integration with mapping library (likely Leaflet, Google Maps, or OpenStreetMap)
