## What it is
HOUDINI is a curated catalog of hundreds of Docker images for network security and intrusion testing tools, presented through a searchable web app with docker run commands and cheatsheets. It is built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, with many images kept updated via the companion RAUDI project.

## Use cases
- find a docker image for a pentesting tool
- get ready-made docker run commands for hacking tools
- look up cheatsheets for network security tools
- browse a curated list of offensive security docker images
- quickly spin up security tools without installing them
- contribute new security tool images to a shared catalog

## When to choose
- you want to run offensive security tools via Docker without manual setup
- you need a searchable reference of pentesting tools with usage commands
- you want automatically updated security tool docker images

## When to avoid
- you need a single maintained tool rather than a catalog of many
- you cannot or prefer not to use Docker
- you need guaranteed support or SLAs for the images

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: docker-images, pentesting, network-intrusion, cheatsheets, curated-list, offensive-security, docker, web-server
