## What it is
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
