darknode.ai — a browser-based cybersecurity platform: 192 security tool platforms and 790+ in-browser utilities, threat intelligence, CTF/lab content, a built-in AI assistant, and install paths for the desktop app, CLI, and OS that run deeper work on your own machine.
This repository is the website — a static single-page app plus a thin serverless backend. The desktop app, the CLI/Nexus agent, and the OS live in their own repositories (see Ecosystem).
