faraday
by infobyte
Faraday is an open-source, multi-user vulnerability management platform designed to centralize and organize security findings from various tools.
Open Source Vulnerability Management Platform
Primary Use Case
Security teams can use Faraday to aggregate vulnerability data from different scanners, automate reporting, and gain a unified view of their security posture. It's ideal for managing the lifecycle of vulnerabilities, from discovery to remediation, and for collaboration among security analysts and managers.
- Open Source Vulnerability Management
- Multi-user collaboration
- Data aggregation and normalization
- Multiple visualization options
- Terminal-based interaction (faraday-cli)
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines
- Automates scanner execution
Installation
- Install using Docker-compose: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infobyte/faraday/master/docker-compose.yaml && docker-compose up
- Install using Docker: docker run -v $HOME/.faraday:/home/faraday/.faraday -p 5985:5985 -e PGSQL_USER='postgres_user' -e PGSQL_HOST='postgres_ip' -e PGSQL_PASSWD='postgres_password' -e PGSQL_DBNAME='postgres_db_name' faradaysec/faraday:latest
- Install using PyPi: pip3 install faradaysec
- Initialize database after PyPi install: faraday-manage initdb
- Install binary packages (Debian/RPM) from releases page.
- Install from source: git clone [email protected]:infobyte/faraday.git && pip3 install .
- Initialize database after source install: faraday-manage initdb
- Start server after source install: faraday-server
