The Community Edition: Democratizing Offensive Cybersecurity

The Community Edition of Trickest Offensive Security Orchestration Platform offers an exceptional opportunity for users to use open-source tools and custom-made scripts to build and run workflows. It aligns with Trickest's mission to democratize access to state-of-the-art security orchestration capabilities, ensuring that even individual researchers and bug bounty hunters can utilize high-level security workflows and methodologies.

Key features of the Community Edition include:

Run Units (RU)

• We have introduced a new execution metric called Run Units (RU).

• All users will receive 12,000 FREE RUs on Trickest Managed infrastructure with unlimited validity, allowing you to have greater flexibility and control.
• Usage calculation: For every minute that a managed default machine is used in workflow execution, 2 RU are consumed from the user's available RU. See below about default managed machines.

Run Units with Trickest Managed Infrastructure (Machines)

We are excited to announce that we now offer Pre-Paid Run Units for our Trickest managed infrastructure. This new option is specifically designed explicitly for bug bounty hunters, researchers, and educators who need to run machines efficiently while taking full advantage of the Trickest feature. With the Pre-Paid Run Units, you can now enjoy a smoother and more seamless experience when running machines on Trickest managed infrastructure. All purchased RUs have unlimited validity, offering you greater flexibility and control over your usage.

FREE Self-Hosted Execution for Community Users

Attach and use up to 3 of your own self-hosted machines for unlimited FREE execution with the Community Edition. You can refer to our documentation for detailed guidelines on how to do this.

New Default Machine Type

We are excited to announce that we have optimized our specs and introduced a new, default machine type with improved performance (CPU 2, MEM 4). This change optimizes the execution process and significantly enhances the speed of Runs for our users.

Commercial vs. Non-commercial Usage

With the Community edition, you are allowed to use the Trickest Community edition for non-commercial purposes only; however, individuals can use the Community edition for bug bounty purposes. We updated our Terms and Conditions and will notify you of the detailed terms. To use Trickest commercially, please contact our sales team.
