## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 74/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 100, release rhythm 28, longevity 98
- inputs: {"age_days": 1374, "days_push": 0, "days_rel": 555, "gap_med": 63, "n_releases_24m": 4}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Artemis is a modular, open-source vulnerability scanner developed by CERT Polska that checks website security at scale. It automatically generates easy-to-read reports ready to be sent to scanned organizations, with heuristics to filter false positives.

## Use cases
- scan many websites for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
- generate actionable security reports for organizations
- detect exposed .git directories and version control data
- find outdated CMS versions like old Joomla installs
- run a nation-scale CERT vulnerability scanning pipeline
- aggregate results from multiple security tools in one dashboard

## When to choose
- you are a CERT, ISP, or security team scanning large numbers of domains
- you need automated, human-readable vulnerability reports rather than raw scanner output
- you want a modular scanner you can extend with custom modules

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-hardened tool - Artemis is explicitly experimental software
- you only need a quick one-off scan of a single site
- you cannot legally perform active security scanning in your jurisdiction

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: vulnerability-scanning, security, web-scraping
- domain: security, penetration-testing, web-development
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: vulnerability-scanner, pentesting, cert, report-generation, modular-scanner, reporting, docker, linux
