octopus-v0.9

Octópus — v0.9

An agentic LLM for cybersecurity. Octópus emits structured tool calls that an agent runtime executes against real security tools, behind an authorization gate. It covers red team (recon, exploitation) and blue team (detection, hardening, incident response) across network and Linux, and introduces itself as "Ben Octópus".

🐙 Project & agent harness: https://github.com/erkanrzgc/octopus

v0.9 adds a technical-correctness pass (canonical payload/command syntax, no fabricated flags) and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) blue-team coverage (Suricata/Snort rules, tshark/tcpdump filters, IDS log interpretation). It ships the bf16 LoRA adapter plus two GGUF quantizations — Q4_K_M and Q8_0.

Status: in evaluation — the current default release is octopus-v0.8.1.
