A modular vulnerability scanner that checks website security and automatically generates easy-to-read reports for organizations.
Artemis is a modular vulnerability scanner that automates the detection of website security flaws and generates clear, actionable reports. It is designed to scale security scanning operations, enabling organizations to systematically identify and communicate vulnerabilities like exposed Git repositories or outdated software versions. The tool powers CERT Polska's scanning activities and has been used to notify entities about hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities.
Security teams, CERT/CSIRT organizations, and developers responsible for large-scale web security monitoring and vulnerability disclosure programs.
Developers choose Artemis for its modular design, which allows easy extension with custom checks, and its focus on automatic, human-readable report generation that simplifies the vulnerability notification process. Its proven use in national-scale security operations provides confidence in its effectiveness.

Artemis's architecture allows easy addition of new security checks via modules, enabling customization for specific needs, as documented in the module writing guide.
It transforms scan results into clear, actionable reports ready for organizational communication, proven by CERT Polska's use in notifying about hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities.
Developed and used by CERT Polska for national-scale security operations, with presentations at BlackHat and TF-CSIRT meetings, demonstrating real-world reliability.
Backed by Google Summer of Code contributions and an active Discord community, ensuring ongoing development, updates, and collaborative improvements.
The README explicitly warns that Artemis is experimental software under active development, posing risks of bugs or breaking changes for production use.
Setup and development rely heavily on Docker, as seen in the scripts and Docker Compose files, which can be a barrier in environments without container support.
Requires manual configuration via environment variables and management of separate modules (e.g., Artemis-modules-extra), adding overhead for new users.
