AI Agents for Cybersecurity

santosomar/AI-agents-for-cybersecurity

Omar Santos's labs and code for building and securing AI agents, with a guide section covering Hermes

In short

AI Agents for Cybersecurity is a companion repository of hands-on code, labs and reference material by Omar Santos. One section is a security-team guide to ready-made agentic frameworks, and Hermes is one of the six it covers.

What AI Agents for Cybersecurity does

The repository supports Omar Santos's training programs and publications, including Pearson live trainings, video courses on Pearson and O'Reilly, O'Reilly live events and several books. Each part maps to a module or chapter, and the scripts are written to stand alone so readers can jump to the section they need.

It is Python-based and its badges reference uv, LangChain, LangGraph and the Model Context Protocol. The part most relevant here is part6_agentic_frameworks, which offers security-team guides to six ready-made agentic frameworks: OpenClaw, Hermes, Agent Zero, OpenHands, Paperclip and Buzz. The guides describe what each framework is, where it helps and where it should stay out. Another section, part7_tokenomics, covers what agents cost to run and how to measure it. The repository is released under the BSD-3-Clause license, and it carries hermes and hermes-agent among its topics.
