Host Management

Parse and manage target hosts defined as YAML blocks in Markdown files.

How It Works

Add YAML blocks annotated with host identity in Markdown files under hosts/ directories:

```yaml host
- hostname: dc01.corp.local
  ip: 192.168.1.10
  alias:
    - corp.local
  is_dc: true
  is_current: true
  is_current_dc: true
  props:
    ENV_DOMAIN: corp.local
```

The extension automatically parses these blocks on file save, builds a centralized host list, and exports environment variables.

Host Fields

Field	Type	Description
hostname	string	Target hostname
ip	string	IP address
alias	string[]	Host aliases
is_dc	boolean	Domain controller flag
is_current	boolean	Currently active target
is_current_dc	boolean	Currently active DC
props	object	Custom properties (ENV_ prefix exported as env vars)

Commands

Command	ID	Description
Switch/Set current host	weapon.switch_host	Set active host across all Markdown files
List/Dump all hosts	weapon.dump_hosts	Display hosts in env/hosts/yaml/table format

CodeLens Actions

On host YAML blocks:

• export to terminal — Export as environment variables
• export as current — Set as current + export
• set as current / unset as current — Toggle is_current flag
• Scan host — Launch scanner against this host

Exported Variables

When is_current: true:

export TARGET='dc01.corp.local'
export HOST='dc01.corp.local'
export DOMAIN='dc01.corp.local'
export RHOST='192.168.1.10'
export IP='192.168.1.10'
