Nodes 🎯

Nodes are the basic building blocks of Penflow. Think of them as individual steps or checkpoints in your methodology that help you organize and track your work. Each node represents a task, technique, or milestone in your workflow.

Core Features

✅ Status Tracking

Track the progress of each node with status indicators:

• Not Started: Task hasn't begun
• In Progress: Currently working on it
• Success: Task completed successfully / exploit successful
• Failed: Task unsuccessful or blocked
• Not Applicable: Task not relevant

📝 Description

• Write detailed notes in Markdown format
• Document your methodology, findings, and thought process
• Add instructions, reminders, or relevant information

📋 Findings List

• Track discoveries and observations
• Document vulnerabilities or issues found
• Keep a record of important information

🏷️ Tags

• Add descriptive tags to nodes
• Filter and search by tags in the table view (see Table View)
• Create consistent tagging systems

⌨️ Command Management

• Store and organize commands related to the subject of the node
• Use variable templating for dynamic values (see Variable Groups)
• Create reusable command templates

🔗 Node Relationships

• Link nodes as parents or children
• Create hierarchical structures
• Organize tasks in logical sequences

📊 Hierarchical Organization

• Expand/collapse child nodes
• Create nested workflows
• Maintain clear visual organization

⚠️ Security Warning

• Never include sensitive data (credentials, tokens, personal information, etc.) directly in nodes or commands
• While exports can be password protected, variable groups are the only data excluded from exports
• Only use variable groups for any sensitive values needed in commands

Node Operations

🔄 Moving Nodes

• Right-click a node and select "Move Node" to change its parent node
• Quickly restructure your workflow as needed

👶 Adding Child Nodes

• Hover over a node and click the + icon to create a new child node
• Efficiently break down tasks into smaller, more manageable sub-components for clearer organization

🗑️ Deleting Nodes

• Hover and click the trash icon to delete a node
• Quickly restructure your workflow as needed

🎯 Centering Nodes

• Hover over a node and click the camera icon on the right to center the view
• Quickly navigate to specific parts of your workflow
• Useful for large sessions with many nodes

🔍 Focus Mode

• Right-click a node and select "Focus" to highlight the selected node
• Parent nodes (recursively up the tree) remain visible for context
• Child nodes stay visible to maintain workflow visibility
• All other nodes are blurred to help maintain concentration
• Perfect for complex workflows where you need to focus on a specific branch
• ESC to exit focus mode
