CyberStrikeAI

中文 | English

The system of action for AI-native cybersecurity—where intent becomes governed execution, evidence becomes operational memory, and every operation improves the next.

CyberStrikeAI connects planning, execution, human oversight, evidence, and replay in one auditable workspace. Built in Go, it combines Eino-powered agents, MCP-native tools, RAG knowledge, visual workflows, and attack-chain modeling and analysis for authorized security operations.

System Dashboard Overview

The dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of system runtime status, security vulnerabilities, tool usage, and knowledge base, helping users quickly understand the platform's core features and current state.

Core Features Overview

Highlights

Agents and orchestration

• 🤖 Agentic execution translates natural-language intent into governed, auditable security actions.
• 🧩 Eino orchestration supports single-agent execution plus Deep, Plan-Execute, and Supervisor multi-agent modes.
• 🔀 Graph workflows combine Agents, tools, conditions, approvals, and outputs into reusable flows.
• 🎭 Role-based testing provides focused prompts and tool policies for common security scenarios.

Tools and knowledge

• 🧰 Security tools include 100+ curated YAML recipes with custom extensions and role-scoped access.
• 🔌 MCP integration supports HTTP, stdio, SSE, external federation, and dynamic tool discovery.
• ⏱️ Resilient tool execution runs blocking MCP/tool calls in workers with bounded agent waits, resumable execution_id polling, cancellation, per-server circuit breakers, concurrency limits, and unified output caps.
• 🎯 Agent Skills follow the standard Skill layout and support progressive, on-demand loading.
• 📚 Knowledge base combines query rewriting, vector retrieval, reranking, and result post-processing.
• 🖼️ Vision analysis uses a separate vision model for screenshots, captchas, and UI while retaining text summaries only.

Governance and audit

• 🧑‍⚖️ Human in the loop provides approval modes, tool allowlists, audit-agent review, and traceable decisions.
• 🛡️ Call blocking under Security adds configurable regex checks before MCP execution, reminder templates, and dry runs, with government-domain protection enabled by default. See Tool call blocking.
• 🔐 Platform RBAC supports multiple users, system and custom roles, scoped permissions, ownership, and explicit assignments.
• 🔒 Security and audit provide authenticated access, audit logs, SQLite persistence, and operational evidence retention.
• 📄 Result governance stores the same capped tool result seen by the agent, protects resume paths from oversized historical output, and adds UI safeguards for large detail views. See Tool Execution Governance.

Security operations

• 📁 Conversation management provides pinning, renaming, and batch organization.
• 📂 Projects and attack chains connect cross-session facts, risk scoring, graph views, and step-by-step replay.
• 🗂️ Asset management normalizes and deduplicates domains, IP addresses, ports, and services; supports XLSX/CSV import and export, advanced filters and saved views, ownership and business metadata, cross-page bulk maintenance, and duplicate merging; and tracks scan coverage, linked vulnerabilities, and risk state. See the Asset Management guide.
• 🛡️ Vulnerability management provides severity classification, lifecycle tracking, filtering, and statistics.
• 📋 Batch tasks provide queued execution, editing, status tracking, and retained results.
• 📱 Chatbots connect Personal WeChat, WeCom, DingTalk, Lark, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and QQ Bot.

Authorized security operations

• 🐚 WebShell management provides connection management, a virtual terminal, file operations, and AI-assisted workflows.
• 📡 Built-in C2 provides listeners, encrypted beacons, sessions, task queues, payload helpers, and live events.

WebShell, C2, and other high-risk capabilities are for systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. See the security model and hardening guide.

Basic Usage

Quick Start (One-Command Deployment)

Prerequisites:

• Go 1.25+ (Install; required by go.mod)
• Python 3.10+ (Install)

One-Command Deployment:

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

Verify the startup:

1. Confirm the terminal displays ● ONLINE followed by the actual Web UI URL.
2. Open that URL; the default HTTPS mode uses a local self-signed certificate, so accept the browser warning once.
3. On a new installation, store the one-time admin password shown under ADMIN SETUP REQUIRED, sign in, and change it immediately.

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 AI channels (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 System Settings → Basic Settings → AI Channel Configuration, add or edit a channel, then fill in provider, Base URL, API key, model, and token limits. Click Save changes. The left channel list supports setting a default, copy, delete, and bulk probe.

     ai:
       default_channel: openai-main
       channels:
         openai-main:
           name: OpenAI Main
           provider: openai_compatible
           api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
           base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # or https://api.deepseek.com/v1
           model: "gpt-4o"  # or deepseek-chat, qwen3-max, etc.
           max_total_tokens: 120000
           max_completion_tokens: 16384
     

   • Or edit config.yaml directly before launching. ai.default_channel is used for new conversations and tasks that do not explicitly select a channel; the chat page can also select any saved channel per session.

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):

   brew install nmap masscan sqlmap nikto gobuster ffuf hydra hashcat nuclei subfinder
   

   Linux (Kali / Debian / Ubuntu):

   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:

# Direct Go run (set up env yourself); add --https to match run.sh defaults
go run ./cmd/server --https

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

Prefer the platform's own one-click update (console System settings -> One-click update, or ./cyberstrike-ai -update / -check-update / -update-rollback): it pulls the newest commit of the update source repository's default branch (the official repository by default; one setting points it at your own fork or a mirror), fast-forwards, rebuilds and swaps the binary atomically, keeps your roles/skills/tools/agents/data/config.yaml untouched (the result names every file it kept; only config.yaml's version field is synced to the new code, so the header badge matches it), and refuses - rather than overwrites - when source is modified locally or the local history has diverged. See the deployment guide.

upgrade.sh still works: when this directory is a git work tree it is a thin shell over the command above; only a non-git (tarball) installation falls back to the old "download a GitHub Release and rsync it in" path, where the source repository comes from --repo owner/name or GITHUB_REPO and the built-in default applies only when neither is given (with a warning naming the repository).

The update source is one setting, a repository address in the update section of config.yaml or right on the console page - the official repository, your own fork, or somebody else's fork. An installation unpacked from a Release archive (no git) can be previewed and connected from the same page and updates in one click from then on.

CyberStrikeAI upgrade script:

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

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

If something goes wrong: inside a git work tree just run ./cyberstrike-ai -update-rollback (back to the commit and binary kept before that update); for a tarball installation restore from .upgrade-backup/ (or manually copy data/ and config.yaml back) and run ./run.sh again.

Requirements / tips (tarball path only):

• 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 as the authoritative configuration template and copy only the values required for your environment. At minimum, configure the server and one AI channel:

server:
  host: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 8080
ai:
  default_channel: openai-main
  channels:
    openai-main:
      provider: openai_compatible
      api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
      base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"
      model: "your-model"

openai is a backward-compatible runtime field; maintain new model settings in ai.channels. Do not commit real credentials. Review the configuration reference, recommended profiles, and security hardening guide before exposing the service beyond localhost.
