Sirius is an open-source vulnerability scanner that automates network discovery via Nmap and performs CVE-based detection with CVSS scoring, delivered as a Docker Compose stack with a modern web UI. It supports distributed scanning through remote gRPC agents, a REST API, and an interactive PowerShell terminal for automation.

Use cases

• scan my network for vulnerabilities with CVE detection
• discover hosts and services on my infrastructure automatically
• self-host a vulnerability scanner with a web dashboard
• run distributed vulnerability scans across multiple environments
• integrate vulnerability scanning results into my security workflows via API
• track severity trends and remediation guidance for my assets

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, open-source vulnerability scanner with a modern UI
• you need automated network discovery plus CVE-based scanning in one stack
• you want Docker-based deployment that works on Linux, macOS, and WSL2
• you need distributed scanning via remote agents

When to avoid

• you need authenticated web application scanning rather than network/CVE scanning
• you require compliance-grade enterprise reporting out of the box
• you cannot run Docker or a multi-service stack
• you need a lightweight single-binary scanner
