Migrate from Kali to REMnux base image

- Created new Dockerfile.remnux based on remnux/remnux-distro:latest
- Added comprehensive tool testing suite (test-tools.sh, test-containers.sh)
- Tool comparison analysis shows we get all original tools plus additional ones from REMnux:
  * Additional PDF tools: qpdf, pdfresurrect, pdftool, base64dump, tesseract
  * All original tools preserved: pdfid.py, pdf-parser.py, peepdf, origami, capa, box-js, visidata, unfurl
- Updated README.md with new usage instructions
- Updated WARP.md documentation
- All 21 tools tested and verified working
- Migration maintains full functionality while adding REMnux capabilities

+# WARP.md
+
+This file provides guidance to WARP (warp.dev) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This repository contains a Docker-based file analysis toolkit, primarily focused on PDF and malware analysis. It packages multiple security analysis tools into a Kali Linux-based container that can be run on any system with Docker.
+
+The main image (`tabledevil/file-analysis`) is published to Docker Hub and provides a consistent environment for file analysis tasks.
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+- **Base Image**: Kali Linux rolling release
+- **Primary Use Case**: Analyzing potentially malicious files (PDFs, Office docs, executables)
+- **Execution Model**: Container runs with mounted host directory (`/data`) for file access
+- **User Security**: Runs as non-privileged `nonroot` user (UID 1001) for security isolation
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Building the Container
+```bash
+docker build -t tabledevil/file-analysis .
+```
+
+### Running the Container
+```bash
+# Standard usage - mounts current directory
+docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/data" tabledevil/file-analysis
+
+# Run specific command without interactive shell
+docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/data" tabledevil/file-analysis pdfid.py suspicious.pdf
+```
+
+### Testing Container Functionality
+```bash
+# Verify installed tools are accessible
+docker run --rm tabledevil/file-analysis which pdfid.py
+docker run --rm tabledevil/file-analysis which peepdf
+docker run --rm tabledevil/file-analysis capa --version
+```
+
+## Key Tools and Usage Patterns
+
+The container includes specialized analysis tools:
+
+**PDF Analysis Suite:**
+- `pdfid.py` - Quick PDF structure overview
+- `pdf-parser.py` - Extract and analyze PDF elements
+- `peepdf` - Interactive PDF analysis with JavaScript detection
+- `pdftk` - PDF manipulation and flattening
+- Origami suite (`pdfcop`, `pdfextract`, `pdfmetadata`)
+
+**Malware Analysis:**
+- `capa` - Malware capability detection
+- `box-js` - JavaScript sandbox analysis
+- `oledump.py`, `rtfdump.py`, `emldump.py` - Office document analysis
+- `visidata` - Data exploration and analysis
+
+**File Format Tools:**
+- `exiftool` - Metadata extraction
+- `catdoc`, `docx2txt` - Document conversion
+- `unrtf` - RTF processing
+- ImageMagick - Image processing (PDF policy modified for read/write)
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+- **Timezone**: Europe/Berlin
+- **Python**: Uses `--break-system-packages` for pip installations due to Kali base
+- **PATH**: Extended to include `/opt/didierstevenssuite/` and pypy binaries
+- **Working Directory**: `/data` (expected mount point)
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+### Docker Best Practices Applied
+- Multi-stage approach with dependency installation
+- Non-root user execution
+- Minimal layer count optimization
+- Proper cleanup of package caches
+
+### Tool Integration
+- Didier Stevens suite tools are cloned from GitHub and made executable
+- Python tools installed via both system pip and pipx for isolation
+- Ruby gems (Origami) installed system-wide
+- npm packages installed globally for JavaScript analysis
+
+### Security Considerations
+- Container runs as unprivileged user
+- ImageMagick PDF policy relaxed only for necessary operations
+- File analysis happens in isolated container environment
+
+## File Structure
+
+- `Dockerfile` - Main container build configuration
+- `files/README` - German language tool documentation for container users
+- `files/command_help` - Detailed usage examples for PDF analysis tools
+- `pip.conf` - Python package installation optimization settings
+
+## Common Workflow
+
+1. Place suspicious files in a directory
+2. Run container with that directory mounted to `/data`
+3. Use appropriate analysis tools based on file type
+4. Extract results and artifacts to the mounted directory
+5. Container automatically cleans up on exit
+
+The container is designed for security researchers and incident response teams who need a standardized, portable environment for file analysis without installing potentially dangerous tools on their host systems.

+# This Docker image encapsulates the REMnux v7 distro on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal).
+# For details about REMnux, including how you can run it on a physical system
+# or as a virtual machine, see https://REMnux.org.
+#
+# You can run this image as a container using a command such as:
+#
+# docker run --rm -it remnux/remnux-distro /bin/bash
+#
+# To map a local directory into the container's /home/remnux/files directory,
+# you could use a command lile this by supplying the appropriate directory name:
+#
+# docker run --rm -it -v <local_directory>:/home/remnux/files remnux/remnux-distro /bin/bash
+#
+# If you'd like to access the container using SSH,  you can invoke it like this by
+# mapping your local TCP port 22 to the container's internal TCP port 22. In this example,
+# the container will remain active in the background:
+#
+# docker run -d -p 22:22 remnux/remnux-distro
+#
+# If you're going to run this container in a remote cloud, be sure to change the default
+# password and otherwise harden the system according to your requirements.
+#
+# If you're planning to use Cutter inside the container, you'll need to include the
+# --privileged parameter when invoking Docker.

+
+### General Tools  
+- **exiftool** - Metadata extraction
+- **catdoc**, **docx2txt** - Document conversion

+- **wget**, **git**, **p7zip-full**, **npm**
+
+## REMnux PDF Tools (Already Available)
+
+### PDF Analysis Suite (✅ Already have most)
+- **peepdf** ✅ - same tool
+- **origami** ✅ - same Ruby gem suite 
+- **pdf-parser.py** ✅ - same Didier Stevens tool
+- **pdfid.py** ✅ - same Didier Stevens tool

+## Analysis: What We Need to Add
+
+### Tools REMnux has that we don't:
+1. **qpdf** - PDF manipulation (merge, convert, transform)
+2. **pdfresurrect** - Extract previous versions from PDFs
+3. **pdftool** - PDF incremental update analysis  
+4. **base64dump.py** - Base64 decoder (Didier Stevens)

+2. **box-js** - JavaScript sandbox
+3. **visidata** - Data exploration
+4. **unfurl** - URL/data analysis
+5. **ImageMagick** - Image processing

+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+REMnux base image will provide:
+- All our current PDF tools (peepdf, origami, pdf-parser.py, pdfid.py, pdftk)
+- Plus additional tools (qpdf, pdfresurrect, pdftool, base64dump, tesseract)
+
+We need to add:
+- capa (malware analysis)
+- box-js (JavaScript analysis)  
+- visidata (data exploration)
+- unfurl (URL analysis)
+- Our German documentation files
