FOSS - AI Security Platform that runs local Ollama, etc
hello r/homelab
I built an AI Security Platform called NERF in my spare time. Sharing it because one of the core design goals was running fully local.
You can point it at ollama, or leverage lm studio with heretic huggingface published models (unsensored), and zero data leaves your machine unless you run any kind of OSINT, or outward internet facing actions. Those can obviously be intercepted by your ISP, or the target you've pointed this at.
It can pentest your homelab, or perform comprehensive security assessments on your infrastructure to help you keep things secure from attackers.
It has 9 security modes, over 1,563 techniques, compliance automation for 39 different frameworks (think NIST, CIS, PCI), cross-session memory, and an engagement engine for managing real multi-session ongoing assessments.
Fully open source, self-funded. No monetization, no tracking, no ads. It can connect to the bigger LLMs out there if desired, or just be kept local if you have the horsepower to run it. I run it just fine on a single 5090 with a heretic Qwen 3:32b model.
