# Nexus Terminal Overview
Nexus Terminal is a desktop connection workspace for people who manage servers, network services, remote desktops, and repositories every day. It brings SSH, Telnet, RAW TCP, VNC, GitHub, and local shell workflows into one focused app with secure credential handling, multi-session organisation, file transfer, automation, and recording built in.
Nexus Terminal is a desktop connection and analysis workspace for people who manage servers, network services, remote desktops, repositories, and binary artefacts every day. It brings SSH, Telnet, RAW TCP, VNC, GitHub, local shell, and Leviathan binary-analysis workflows into one focused app with secure credential handling, multi-session organisation, file transfer, automation, recording, and inspection tooling built in.
## Product positioning
Nexus is more than an SSH client. It is a single command centre for remote access, terminal operations, file movement, raw socket inspection, GitHub repository visibility, and repeatable operational workflows.

### Leviathan binary workbench
- Switch from **Nexus Terminal** to **Leviathan** from the sidebar header.
- Load a local file into a working document, inspect it with multiple tools, then save the patched working copy.
- Tools open as normal tabs beside connection sessions.
- Leviathan tabs close immediately without connection-disconnect confirmation.
- Shared undo, redo, and revert actions for byte-level edits.
- File-backed document model for large local files, with chunked save/export where supported.
- Clear limits for tools that require bounded in-memory buffers, such as image/audio spectrogram conversion and some parsers.
### Leviathan editor and triage tools
- **Hex Editor** with editable byte cells, live ASCII preview, 16-byte and 32-byte rows, byte search, string/hex search, previous/next match navigation, and range opening from analysis views.
- **Overview** for first-pass summary across hashes, entropy, strings, indicators, and carve candidates.
- **Hashes** for CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512.
- **Entropy** graph over the whole file, with selectable ranges that can open a new hex editor tab.
- **Strings** extraction for ASCII and UTF-16 text.
- **IOCs** for URLs, domains, paths, hashes, and other indicators.
- **Search** and **Multi-search** for text, hex, and regular-expression matching.
- Exportable results from tools that find files, ranges, or structured artefacts.
### Leviathan structure, recovery, and transform tools
- **Structures** parser for common binary formats such as PE, ELF, Mach-O, ZIP, images, RIFF, ASN.1, and certificates.
- **Disasm** heuristic disassembly for common CPU families, with raw byte fallback for unsupported architectures.
- **PDF** object, stream, xref, and suspicious-surface inspection.
- **SquashFS** superblock and filesystem metadata inspection with human-readable bad-magic errors.
- **Carve**, **Keys**, **Timestamps**, **Stego**, and **Metadata** tools for embedded artefacts and recovery workflows.
- **BinSnoop** deep signature scanning across the whole file, with export for discovered files and ranges.
- **Rules** for YARA-like rule scans.
- **Patch Plan** and **Patch Apply** for validating and applying patch scripts.
- **Transforms** for hex, Base64, URL, XOR, inflate, and cipher pipelines.
- **Case Export** for bundling useful artefacts from a working investigation.
### Leviathan spectrogram tools
- Convert an image into WAV audio so the image appears in a spectrogram.
- Insert an encoded image into an existing WAV or MP3 carrier.
- Visualise WAV or MP3 audio as a spectrogram image.
- Control FFT size, height, maximum width, aspect ratio, frequency range, brightness, and contrast.
### Automation and reusable workflows
- Snippet library for saved commands.

### Short product description
Nexus Terminal helps developers, operators, support engineers, and homelab users manage many connections without juggling separate tools. Save profiles, organise them with groups and tags, connect in tabs or split panes, move files over SFTP, inspect raw TCP traffic, open VNC desktops, browse GitHub repositories, and keep credentials protected with keychain and encrypted-vault storage.
