The easiest way to deploy dev/test infrastructure
An open-source, API driven infrastructure management system
You're paid to assess and defend, not configure.

From Debian to deployment
Easy installer and template builds take you from zero to ready-to-deploy easily
- One command - fully automated install
- Templates built from checksum verified ISOs - no random vagrant boxes
- Easily add your own templates backed by Packer
Fully customizable
Create complex networks and deploy as many VMs as your host can handle!
- Define up to 255 VLANs (/24) with arbitrary firewall rules
- Add arbitrary ansible roles to VMs
- Directly connect with SSH, RDP, VNC, or KasmVNC to any range VM

OPSEC built in
Do you trust that binary from GitHub? Or want to keep the telemetry generated by your latest in-house tools from leaking to threat intel?
- Easily and quickly isolate VMs from the internet
- Snapshots are taken before isolation and reverted before internet is turned back on
- Allow specific domains or IPs while isolated to test live C2 channels or techniques that require internet
