## What it is
secator is a task and workflow runner for security assessments that unifies dozens of well-known security tools (subfinder, httpx, ffuf, nmap, etc.) behind a single CLI and Python library. It provides unified input/output schemas, pre-built workflows, and distributed execution via Celery.

## Use cases
- run subdomain enumeration and HTTP probing from one command
- orchestrate pentesting tools with unified output
- run host reconnaissance workflows
- fuzz URLs with multiple fuzzers and custom wordlists
- automate security scans in a pipeline
- build custom security tooling on top of a Python library
- run distributed security scans with Celery workers

## When to choose
- you want one interface over many security tools instead of installing and scripting each
- you need consistent output schemas across recon, fuzzing, and scanning tools
- you want pre-built pentest workflows or the ability to define custom ones in YAML
- you need to run security tasks as a Python library or distribute them with Celery

## When to avoid
- you need a single specialized tool rather than an orchestrator
- you require an OSI-approved open-source license (it uses BSL 1.1)
- your target tools are not among the supported integrations and you don't want to write custom tasks
- you need a GUI-driven vulnerability management platform
