Cathook is a training software designed for Team Fortress 2 for Linux. Cathook includes some joke features like

• Ignore Hoovy
• Encrypted chat
• IRC Support (Find other Cathook users in-game automatically)
• Chance to get manually VAC banned by Valve

and a lot of useful features, including

• Anti Backstab with option to use "No" voice command when spy tries to backstab you
• Extremely customizable spam (you can make spam lines that'll include name of random dead enemy pyro or sniper)
• Follow Bots
• Navparser Bots (Walkbots than can walk on any map without manual configuration)
• Working crit hack (does not work right now (works right now))

You will have to find matching packages yourself.

Go into the cathook directory and run ./update

Run the update script in Cathook folder.

Cathook requires a special data folder (contains shaders, font files, walkbot paths, etc). This folder is located at /opt/cathook/data and is generated automatically when you compile Cathook.

sudo ./attach to attach Cathook into TF2. Optionally, you can provide a PID (for bots or other linux users).

sudo ./attach-gdb to attach and print backtrace in case TF2 crashes. Requires a debug Cathook build (run ./config to configure the build mode). Some users report that this causes FPS drop in-game. This is recommended if you want to grab a log of what went wrong if Cathook is crashing on you (report it!)

cathook-ipc-server allows you to run and control Followbots to do your evil bidding in-game. The installation for Followbots is quite complex, and will not be covered on this page. Obviously, you must have several user accounts ready to run TF2.
A guide for Followbots can be found here: How to setup and use followbots.

The installation script is as followed:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/nullworks/cathook-ipc-server && cd cathook-ipc-server && make -j4

To run the Followbot server, run ./bin/cathook-ipc-server. You can also use ./bin/cathook-ipc-server &>/dev/null & to run it in background.
