Project Axiom is a set of utilities for managing a small dynamic infrastructure setup for bug bounty, basically a pen-testing server out of the box with 1-line.

With Axiom, you just need to run a single command to get setup, and then you can use the Axiom toolkit scripts to spin up and down your new hacking VPS.

Setting up your own ‘hacking vps’, to catch shells, run enumeration tools, scan, let things run in the background in a tmux window, used to be an afternoon project – running into a whole day sometimes if you hit some package isues or ‘dependency hell’. You would run through and install all the tools you need manually, configure your ZSH, configure vim, configure tmux and be ready to rock..at some point.

Thank goodness for Axiom!
