Osmedeus — Security Orchestration Engine

Practical Notes

• GitHub: 6,232 stars · 982 forks; pushed 2026-05-11 (verified via GitHub API).
• README installation uses a one-line install script and includes --dry-run to preview workflow execution.
• CLI examples show modules/flows, concurrency flags, and a built-in API server (osmedeus serve).

Main

Safety-first usage:

• Treat Osmedeus as an internal security automation runner. Keep targets in a scoped allowlist (your domains, your staging, your owned IPs).
• Start with --dry-run and inspect what will execute, then run with conservative concurrency.
• Keep outputs in a dedicated workspace and store the final report artifacts alongside the run configuration so audits are easy.

If you want to involve an AI agent, have it produce a plan and a safe target list first; never let the agent free-run on the public internet.

FAQ

Q: Is it legal to scan random sites? A: No. Use it only for systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Q: How do I reduce risk? A: Use --dry-run, keep concurrency low, and run inside isolated environments.

Q: Can it expose an API? A: Yes—README includes osmedeus serve to start an API server.
