Poseidon - All-in-one defensive and offensive cybersecurity t

项目说明

Poseidon is an all-in-one cybersecurity utility hub that aggregates existing third-party security tools into a unified interface.

The initial release focuses on ad security-testing modules intended for authorized security testing, research, education, and system hardening, with additional defensi planned for future updates.

> Authorized Use Only
>
> Poseidon is intended for use on systems, networks, applications, devices, and data that you own or ha permission to test.
>
> You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, policies, and authorization requirements. Poseidon does not grant permission to test any system.

Think of Poseidon like a hammer: in the right hands, it can build and strengthen; in the wrong hands, it can cause harm. We build the tool; users are responsible for how they use it.

Poseidon does not generate attack targets, attack plans, or commands for users. Effective use of its tools requires appropriate technical knowledge of cybersecurity, networking, operating systems, and system administration. Poseidon is not intended to replace that knowledge.

Supported Platforms

Current release: Arch Linux x86-64

Poseidon is distributed as a self-contained application, so the official Linux release does not require a separate .NET installation.

Download & Installation

The recommended way to install Poseidon is through the official GitHub Release.

Linux x86-64

1. Go to the latest Poseidon release.
2. Download Poseidon-x86_64.AppImage.
3. Make the AppImage executable:

4. Launch it:

You can also launch the AppImage directly from your file manager after granting it executable permission.

> Note: The AppImage provides the Poseidon application itself as a self-contained package. Some Poseidon modules depend on external third-party security utilities, which may need to be installed separately and may not be a on every Linux distribution.

Current Platform Support

The current official release is de and tested on Arch Linux x86-64.

The AppImage may run on other x86-64 Linux distributions, but full functionality is not guaranteed outside the currently supported platform.

Features

* Unified graphical interface for cybersecurity utilities
* Interfaces for selected third-party security tools
* Security-testing and research utilities
* System information and utility functions
* Designed with authorized testing and research in mind
* Additional defensi planned for future releases

3. Acceptable Use

Poseidon is intended for lawful and authorized cybersecurity acti, including security research, penetration testing, assessment, education, and system hardening.

By downloading, installing, or using Poseidon, you acknowledge that:

* You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Poseidon complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
* You will only use Poseidon against systems, networks, applications, devices, or data that you own or are explicitly authorized to test.
* You will obtain appropriate authorization before conducting security testing against systems belonging to another person or organization.
* You will respect applicable privacy, computer-misuse, cybersecurity, and data-protection laws.
* You are responsible for understanding the potential effects and risks of any security tool before using it.
* You will not use Poseidon to obtain unauthorized access, disrupt services, damage systems, steal data, deploy malware, or otherwise facilitate unlawful activity.

Poseidon does not grant permission to test any system. Authorization must come from the system owner or another party legally empowered to provide it.

Poseidon does not impose a minimum age requirement. Users remain responsible for complying with applicable laws, regulations, school or organizational policies, platform requirements, and other rules that apply to their use of the software.

4. User Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for their actions and for determining whether their intended use of Poseidon is lawful and properly authorized.

The Poseidon Project does not provide legal advice. If you are uncertain whether a particular activity is permitted, seek appropriate guidance before conducting that activity.

5. Third-Party Tools

Poseidon integrates, launches, or provides interfaces for third-party security utilities. Poseidon does not claim ownership of those utilities unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Each third-party tool remains subject to its own license, terms of use, documentation, and applicable restrictions. Users are responsible for re and complying with those requirements.

Where Poseidon provides a graphical interface for a third-party utility, that interface does not modify the underlying tool's license or grant additional rights to use it.

Third-party tools may ha, behaviors, licenses, or restrictions that are independent of Poseidon. The Poseidon Project is not responsible for changes, defects, licensing terms, or functionality originating from third-party software.

6. No Authorization Provided by Poseidon

Installing or using Poseidon does not provide authorization to access, test, scan, modify, disrupt, or interfere with any system.

Only the appropriate system owner or another legally authorized party can grant permission to conduct testing.

Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, users are responsible for claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from their misuse of Poseidon, unauthorized testing or access, of this policy, of applicable law, or infringement of third-party rights.

Where legally applicable, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Poseidon Project, its de, contributors, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to those acti.
