Developer launches 'warden', an agentless homelab security tool for low-resource systems

A developer has released an open-source security tool called 'warden' for monitoring homelab environments. The tool runs on minimal hardware, requiring only 1 vCPU and 512 MB of RAM for its core functions. It operates without installing agents on monitored machines, instead using SSH connections and existing scanners like Trivy and Lynis. warden consolidates data on intrusion attempts, vulnerabilities, and system hardening, presenting proposed actions for user approval rather than acting autonomously. The software is designed to be a lightweight alternative to more resource-intensive security platforms.
