NodeZero Host Information

The NodeZero host serves as the operating platform and starting point for Horizon3.ai's autonomous pentesting solution. We highly recommend using Linux, but customers have successfully employed Windows Docker. Position the NodeZero host within the network segment where you want the pentest to begin. Before starting the operation, ensure that the host is running to download and execute NodeZero, and maintain its operation throughout the process. Once the operation is complete, you may shut down or remove the host from the network.

If you prefer a different distribution, please contact the Horizon3 team for compatibility assessment. Although most distributions should run NodeZero smoothly, we have not yet performed checks or validations for all of them.
