trident-tui

Trident — an AI penetration-testing agent you can run with one command, no source checkout required:

npx trident-tui

On first run it:

1. installs uv (a fast Python manager) if you don't have it,
2. pulls the Docker sandbox image,
3. opens a Configure LLM screen where you paste your model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6) and API key — saved to ~/.trident/cli-config.json, so you only do it once.

Then scan something:

npx trident-tui --target https://example.com
npx trident-tui --target ./my-project
npx trident-tui --help

The first run also installs a global trident (and trident) command. Open a new terminal afterwards and you can just run trident … directly — no npx needed.

Requirements

• Docker (running) — the security tools execute inside a sandbox container. Install Docker Desktop: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
• Node.js ≥ 16 (for the npx launcher)
• Everything else (Python, dependencies) is handled automatically by uv.

Only test systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test.

How it works

This package bundles Trident as a Python wheel (vendor/*.whl). The npx launcher boots it via uv and hands off to the trident CLI. No API keys are bundled — you provide your own on first run.
