The AI checked my home servers and router for security holes and found a lot

He gave the AI SSH access to his Proxmox homelab and his UniFi router and told it to run a security audit. It found a lot of holes to patch, work that would have meant juggling more than 12 terminals and containers by hand.

How it works

  1. Gives the AI SSH access to his Proxmox homelab and UniFi router
  2. Tells it to run a security audit
  3. It reports a lot of holes to patch

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just give advice. He let it log into his real home servers and router and check them itself.
