Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an authorized security assessment would benefit from an LLM coordinated with security-specific context, tools and test cases from a terminal.
Who it is for
- Security practitioners conducting authorized red-team assessments
- Developers and researchers exploring AI agents for offensive security
- Users working on bug-bounty or CTF security workflows
Documented uses
- Coordinate reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation and reporting
- Apply OWASP testing context to LLM-driven security work
- Orchestrate built-in, MCP and specialized security tools
- Run a terminal-based multi-provider security-testing workflow
Requirements & limits
The project is described as open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. The documented first run asks for an LLM provider and API key; the tool is operated from a terminal.
- Whether the team can provide and configure an LLM provider
- Whether a terminal-based workflow suits the assessment process
- Whether external security tools and MCP integrations are useful for the task
- Whether the intended activity is an authorized security assessment
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Cyberstrike and open its terminal interface
Set up the Cyberstrike command-line tool and reach its first-run provider configuration.
Before you start
- npm
- An LLM provider and API key, as requested by the first-run interface
Steps
Install the latest package globally with npm.
Launch Cyberstrike from the terminal.
Provide the requested LLM provider and API key when prompted.
Expected outcome
Cyberstrike opens its terminal UI with an LLM connection configured for the security workflow.
Guide limitations
- This documents installation and first-run configuration only; it does not verify a completed penetration test.
- The project description refers to user-provided LLM subscriptions or providers.
