**CyberStrikeAI is building the agentic execution layer for modern cyber security.**

It brings AI agents, security tools, MCP-native integrations, knowledge systems, human oversight, and attack-chain intelligence into a unified workspace for authorized cyber engagements. Instead of treating tools, prompts, evidence, approvals, and reports as separate fragments, CyberStrikeAI turns security intent into auditable multi-agent workflows that can plan, execute, review, replay, and continuously accumulate operational context.

Built in Go, CyberStrikeAI provides a full-stack foundation for AI-native security operations: 100+ curated tool recipes, role-based testing, Agent Skills, Eino-powered single-agent and multi-agent orchestration, RAG knowledge retrieval, graph workflows, vulnerability and task lifecycle management, WebShell operations, chatbot access, and a lightweight built-in C2 framework for authorized lab and engagement scenarios.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Use CyberStrikeAI only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. For shared or production environments, review the [security model](docs/en-US/security-model.md) and [hardening guide](docs/en-US/security-hardening.md) before enabling high-risk tools, WebShell, or C2 capabilities.

## Basic Usage

### Quick Start (One-Command Deployment)

**Prerequisites:**
- Go 1.25+ ([Install](https://go.dev/dl/); required by `go.mod`)
- Python 3.10+ ([Install](https://www.python.org/downloads/))

**One-Command Deployment:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Ed1s0nZ/CyberStrikeAI.git
cd CyberStrikeAI
chmod +x run.sh && ./run.sh
```

The `run.sh` script will automatically:
- ✅ Check and validate Go & Python environments
- ✅ Create Python virtual environment
- ✅ Install Python dependencies
- ✅ Download Go dependencies
- ✅ Build the project
- ✅ Start the server

**Networking defaults:** `run.sh` starts the server with **`--https`** and the repo **`config.yaml`** (local self-signed TLS; better for many concurrent streams). Use **`./run.sh --http`** for plain HTTP. In production, set **`server.tls_cert_path`** / **`server.tls_key_path`** in **`config.yaml`** (see comments there). For manual runs, add **`--https`** or **`CYBERSTRIKE_HTTPS=1`**; if **`-config`** is wrong, the binary prints a short usage hint on stderr.

**First-Time Configuration:**
1. **Configure OpenAI-compatible API** (required before first use)
   - After launch, open **`https://127.0.0.1:8080/`** (or **`https://localhost:8080/`**; replace **8080** with `server.port` in `config.yaml`) and accept the self-signed certificate warning once. If you used `./run.sh --http`, use **`http://`** instead.
   - Go to `Settings` → Fill in your API credentials:
     ```yaml
     openai:
       api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
       base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # or https://api.deepseek.com/v1
       model: "gpt-4o"  # or deepseek-chat, claude-3-opus, etc.
     ```
   - Or edit `config.yaml` directly before launching
2. **Login** - On first startup the console prints an auto-generated initial `admin` password; create accounts from **Platform permissions → User management**
3. **Install security tools (optional)** - Install tools from `tools/` as needed; missing tools are skipped or substituted at runtime. Common examples:

   **macOS (Homebrew):**
   ```bash
   brew install nmap masscan sqlmap nikto gobuster ffuf hydra hashcat nuclei subfinder
   ```

   **Linux (Kali / Debian / Ubuntu):**
   ```bash
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y nmap masscan sqlmap nikto gobuster hydra hashcat john binwalk
   # On some distros, install ffuf/nuclei/subfinder via go install or upstream docs
   ```

   See the `tools/` directory for the full list; refer to each tool's official docs for install details.

**Alternative Launch Methods:**
```bash
# Direct Go run (set up env yourself); add --https to match run.sh defaults
go run cmd/server/main.go --https

# Manual build
go build -o cyberstrike-ai cmd/server/main.go
./cyberstrike-ai --https
```

If server logs show `client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server`, a client is still using **`http://`** on a TLS-only port—switch the URL to **`https://`**.

**Note:** The Python virtual environment (`venv/`) is automatically created and managed by `run.sh`. Tools that require Python (like `api-fuzzer`, `http-framework-test`, etc.) will automatically use this environment.

### Upgrade and Compatibility

**CyberStrikeAI one-click upgrade:**
1. (First time) enable the script: `chmod +x upgrade.sh`
2. Upgrade with: `./upgrade.sh` (optional flags: `--tag vX.Y.Z`, `--no-venv`, `--yes`). Local `tools/`, `roles/`, and `skills/` are always preserved.
3. The script will back up your `config.yaml` and `data/`, upgrade the code from GitHub Release, update `config.yaml`'s `version`, then restart the server.

Recommended one-liner:
`chmod +x upgrade.sh && ./upgrade.sh --yes`

If something goes wrong, you can restore from `.upgrade-backup/` (or manually copy `/data` and `config.yaml` back) and run `./run.sh` again.

Requirements / tips:
* You need `curl` or `wget` for downloading Release packages.
* `rsync` is recommended/required for the safe code sync.
* If GitHub API rate-limits you, set `export GITHUB_TOKEN="..."` before running `./upgrade.sh`.

⚠️ **Before upgrading:** review the target release notes for configuration, database, and API changes. Backups are required even for patch upgrades; a version number alone is not a compatibility guarantee.


## Configuration

Use [`config.example.yaml`](config.example.yaml) as the authoritative configuration template and copy only the values required for your environment. At minimum, configure the server and an OpenAI-compatible model provider:

```yaml
server:
  host: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 8080
openai:
  api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
  base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"
  model: "your-model"
```

Do not commit real credentials. Review the [configuration reference](docs/en-US/configuration.md), [recommended profiles](docs/en-US/configuration-profiles.md), and [security hardening guide](docs/en-US/security-hardening.md) before exposing the service beyond localhost.
