CyberStrikeAI Robot / Chatbot Guide
This document explains how to chat with CyberStrikeAI from DingTalk, Lark (Feishu), and WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) using long-lived connections or HTTP callbacks—no need to open a browser on the server. Following the steps below helps avoid common mistakes.
1. Where to configure in CyberStrikeAI
- Log in to the CyberStrikeAI web UI.
- Open System Settings in the left sidebar.
- Click Robot settings (between “Basic” and “Security”).
- Enable the platform and fill in credentials (DingTalk: Client ID / Client Secret; Lark: App ID / App Secret).
- Click Apply configuration to save.
- Restart the CyberStrikeAI process (saving alone does not establish the connection).
Settings are written to the robots section of config.yaml; you can also edit the file directly. After changing DingTalk or Lark config, you must restart for the long-lived connection to take effect.
2. Supported platforms (long-lived / callback)
| Platform | Description |
|---|---|
| DingTalk | Stream long-lived connection; the app connects to DingTalk to receive messages |
| Lark (Feishu) | Long-lived connection; the app connects to Lark to receive messages |
| WeCom (Qiye WX) | HTTP callback to receive messages; CyberStrikeAI replies via WeCom’s message sending API |
Section 3 below describes, per platform, what to do in the developer console and which fields to copy into CyberStrikeAI.
3. Configuration and step-by-step setup
3.1 DingTalk
Important: two types of DingTalk bots
| Type | Where it’s created | Can do “user sends message → bot replies”? | Supported here? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom bot (Webhook) | In a DingTalk group: Group settings → Add robot → Custom (Webhook) | No; you can only post to the group | No |
| Enterprise internal app bot | DingTalk Open Platform: create an app and enable the bot | Yes | Yes |
If you only have a custom bot Webhook URL (oapi.dingtalk.com/robot/send?access_token=...) and sign secret (SEC...), do not put them into CyberStrikeAI. You must create an enterprise internal app in the open platform and obtain Client ID and Client Secret as below.
DingTalk setup (in order)
-
Open DingTalk Open Platform
Go to https://open.dingtalk.com and log in with an enterprise admin account. -
Create or select an app
In the left menu: Application development → Enterprise internal development → Create application (or choose an existing app). Fill in the app name and create. -
Get Client ID and Client Secret
- In the left menu open Credentials and basic info (under “Basic information”).
- Copy Client ID (formerly AppKey) and Client Secret (formerly AppSecret).
- Use copy/paste; avoid typing by hand. Watch for 0 vs o and 1 vs l (e.g.
ding9gf9tiozuc504aerhas the digits 504, not 5o4).
-
Enable the bot and choose Stream mode
- Left menu: Application capabilities → Robot.
- Turn on “Robot configuration”.
- Fill in robot name, description, etc. as required.
- Critical: set message reception to “Stream mode” (流式接入). If you only enable “HTTP callback” or do not select Stream, CyberStrikeAI will not receive messages.
- Save.
-
Permissions and release
- Left menu: Permission management — search for “robot”, “message”, etc., and enable receive message, send message, and other bot-related permissions; confirm.
- Left menu: Version management and release — if there are unpublished changes, click Release new version / Publish; otherwise changes do not take effect.
-
Fill in CyberStrikeAI
- In CyberStrikeAI: System settings → Robot settings → DingTalk.
- Enable “Enable DingTalk robot”.
- Paste the Client ID and Client Secret from step 3.
- Click Apply configuration, then restart CyberStrikeAI.
Field mapping (DingTalk)
| Field in CyberStrikeAI | Source in DingTalk Open Platform |
|---|---|
| Enable DingTalk robot | Check to enable |
| Client ID (AppKey) | Credentials and basic info → Client ID (formerly AppKey) |
| Client Secret | Credentials and basic info → Client Secret (formerly AppSecret) |
3.2 Lark (Feishu)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Lark robot | Check to start the Lark long-lived connection |
| App ID | From Lark open platform app credentials |
| App Secret | From Lark open platform app credentials |
| Verify Token | Optional; for event subscription |
Lark setup in short: Log in to Lark Open Platform → Create an enterprise app → In “Credentials and basic info” get App ID and App Secret → In “Application capabilities” enable Robot and the right permissions → Add event subscription and permissions below → Publish the app → Enter App ID and App Secret in CyberStrikeAI robot settings → Save and restart the app.
Event subscription
The long-lived connection only receives message events if you subscribe to them. In the app’s Events and callbacks (事件与回调) → Event subscription (事件订阅), add the event Receive message (im.message.receive_v1). Without it, the connection succeeds but no message events are delivered (no logs when users send messages).
Lark permissions (required)
In Permission management (权限管理), enable the following (names and identifiers match the Lark console). After changes, publish a new version in Version management and release so they take effect.
| Permission name (as shown in console) | Identifier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 获取与发送单聊、群组消息 (Get and send direct & group messages) | im:message |
Base permission for sending and receiving; required. |
| 接收群聊中@机器人消息事件 (Receive @bot messages in group chat) | im:message.group_at_msg:readonly |
Required for group chat when users @ the bot. |
| 读取用户发给机器人的单聊消息 (Read direct messages from users to bot) | im:message.p2p_msg:readonly |
Required for 1:1 chat; otherwise no response in private chat. |
| 获取单聊、群组消息 (Get direct & group messages) | im:message:readonly |
Required to read message content. |
Event subscription (configured separately): In Event subscription (事件订阅), add Receive message (im.message.receive_v1). Without it, the long-lived connection will not receive message events.
- 1:1 chat: Open the bot’s private chat in Lark and send e.g. “帮助” or “help”; no @ needed.
- Group chat: Only messages that @ the bot are received and replied to.
3.3 WeCom (Enterprise WeChat)
WeCom uses a “HTTP callback + active message send API” model:
- User sends a message → WeCom sends an encrypted XML callback to your server (CyberStrikeAI’s
/api/robot/wecom).- CyberStrikeAI decrypts it, calls the AI, then uses WeCom’s
message/sendAPI to actively push the reply to the user.
Configuration overview:
- In the WeCom admin console, create or select a custom app (自建应用).
- In that app’s settings, configure the message callback URL, Token, and EncodingAESKey.
- In CyberStrikeAI’s
config.yaml, fill in:robots.wecom.corp_id: your CorpID (企业 ID)robots.wecom.agent_id: the app’s AgentIdrobots.wecom.token: the Token used for message callbacksrobots.wecom.encoding_aes_key: the EncodingAESKey used for callbacksrobots.wecom.secret: the app’s Secret (used when calling WeCom APIs to send messages)
Important: IP allowlist (errcode 60020)
CyberStrikeAI callshttps://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/message/sendto actively send AI replies.
If logs showerrcode 60020 not allow to access from your ip:
- Your server’s outbound IP is not in WeCom’s IP allowlist.
- In the WeCom admin console, open the custom app’s Security / IP allowlist settings (name may vary slightly), and add the public IP of the machine running CyberStrikeAI (e.g.
110.xxx.xxx.xxx).- Save and wait for it to take effect, then test again.
If the IP is not whitelisted, WeCom will reject active message sending. You will see that
/api/robot/wecomreceives and processes callbacks, but users never see AI replies, and logs containnot allow to access from your ip.
4. Bot commands
Send these text commands to the bot in DingTalk or Lark (text only):
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| 帮助 (help) | Show command help |
| 列表 or 对话列表 (list) | List all conversation titles and IDs |
| 切换 <conversationID> or 继续 <conversationID> | Continue in the given conversation |
| 新对话 (new) | Start a new conversation |
| 清空 (clear) | Clear current context (same effect as new conversation) |
| 当前 (current) | Show current conversation ID and title |
| 停止 (stop) | Abort the currently running task |
| 角色 or 角色列表 (roles) | List all available roles (penetration testing, CTF, Web scan, etc.) |
| 角色 <roleName> or 切换角色 <roleName> | Switch to the specified role |
| 删除 <conversationID> | Delete the specified conversation |
| 版本 (version) | Show current CyberStrikeAI version |
Any other text is sent to the AI as a user message, same as in the web UI (e.g. penetration testing, security analysis).
5. How to use (do I need to @ the bot?)
- Direct chat (recommended): In DingTalk or Lark, search for the bot and open a direct chat. Type “帮助” or any message; no @ needed.
- Group chat: If the bot is in a group, only messages that @ the bot are received and answered; other group messages are ignored.
Summary: Direct chat — just send; in a group — @ the bot first, then send.
6. Recommended flow (so you don’t skip steps)
- In the open platform: Complete app creation, copy credentials, enable the bot (DingTalk: Stream mode), set permissions, and publish (Section 3).
- In CyberStrikeAI: System settings → Robot settings → Enable the platform, paste Client ID/App ID and Client Secret/App Secret → Apply configuration.
- Restart the CyberStrikeAI process (otherwise the long-lived connection is not established).
- On your phone: Open DingTalk or Lark, find the bot (direct chat or @ in a group), send “帮助” or any message to test.
If the bot does not respond, see Section 9 (troubleshooting) and Section 10 (common pitfalls).
7. Config file example
Example robots section in config.yaml:
robots:
dingtalk:
enabled: true
client_id: "your_dingtalk_app_key"
client_secret: "your_dingtalk_app_secret"
lark:
enabled: true
app_id: "your_lark_app_id"
app_secret: "your_lark_app_secret"
verify_token: ""
Restart the app after changes; the long-lived connection is created at startup.
8. Testing without DingTalk/Lark installed
You can verify bot logic with the test API (no DingTalk/Lark client needed):
- Log in to the CyberStrikeAI web UI (so you have a session).
- Call the test endpoint with curl (include your session Cookie):
# Replace YOUR_COOKIE with the Cookie from your browser (F12 → Network → any request → Request headers → Cookie)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/robot/test" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Cookie: YOUR_COOKIE" \
-d '{"platform":"dingtalk","user_id":"test_user","text":"帮助"}'
If the JSON response contains "reply":"【CyberStrikeAI 机器人命令】...", command handling works. You can also try "text":"列表" or "text":"当前".
API: POST /api/robot/test (requires login). Body: {"platform":"optional","user_id":"optional","text":"required"}. Response: {"reply":"..."}.
9. DingTalk: no response when sending messages
Check in this order:
-
After laptop sleep or network drop
DingTalk and Lark both use long-lived connections; they break when the machine sleeps or the network drops. The app auto-reconnects (retries within about 5–60 seconds). After wake or network recovery, wait a moment before sending; if there is still no response, restart the CyberStrikeAI process. -
Client ID / Client Secret match the open platform exactly
Copy from “Credentials and basic info”; avoid typing. Watch 0 vs o and 1 vs l (e.g.ding9gf9tiozuc504aerhas 504, not 5o4). -
Did you restart after saving?
The long-lived connection is created at startup. “Apply configuration” only updates the config file; you must restart the CyberStrikeAI process for the DingTalk connection to start. -
Application logs
- On startup you should see:
钉钉 Stream 正在连接…,钉钉 Stream 已启动(无需公网),等待收消息. - If you see
钉钉 Stream 长连接退出with an error, it’s usually wrong Client ID / Client Secret or Stream not enabled in the open platform. - After sending a message in DingTalk, you should see
钉钉收到消息in the logs; if not, the platform is not pushing to this app (check that the bot is enabled and Stream mode is selected).
- On startup you should see:
-
Open platform
The app must be published. Under “Robot” you must enable Stream for receiving messages (HTTP callback only is not enough). Permission management must include robot receive/send message permissions.
10. Common pitfalls
- Wrong bot type: The “Custom” bot added in a DingTalk group (Webhook + sign secret) cannot be used for two-way chat. Only the enterprise internal app bot from the open platform is supported.
- Saved but not restarted: After changing robot settings in CyberStrikeAI you must restart the app, or the long-lived connection will not be established.
- Client ID typo: If the platform shows
504, use504(not5o4); prefer copy/paste. - DingTalk: only HTTP callback, no Stream: This app receives messages via Stream. In the open platform, message reception must be Stream mode.
- App not published: After changing the bot or permissions in the open platform, publish a new version under “Version management and release”, or changes won’t apply.
11. Notes
- DingTalk and Lark: text messages only; other types (e.g. image, voice) are not supported and may be ignored.
- Conversations are shared with the web UI: conversations created from the bot appear in the web “Conversations” list and vice versa.
- Bot execution uses the same logic as
/api/agent-loop/stream(progress callbacks, process details stored in the DB); only the final reply is sent back to DingTalk/Lark in one message (no SSE to the client).
