Overview
This is a repackaged software product from Madarson IT with additional charges applied for configuration and seller support.
This AWS-based EC2 instance comes pre-configured with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 and the Cockpit web console -- a browser-based system management interface that lets you monitor, configure, and manage your server without needing to SSH in for every task. Built on top of Cockpit is the Madarson IT Security Assistant, an AI-powered security analysis tool backed by Anthropic Claude that analyzes your live system and delivers actionable security findings, compliance observations, and remediation guidance on demand.
No agents to install. No SaaS subscriptions. No data leaving your instance except to the Anthropic API using your own key. Everything runs on your EC2 instance and is accessible from any browser.
COCKPIT WEB CONSOLE
Cockpit gives you a clean, modern browser interface to manage your SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 instance. From the console you can monitor CPU, memory, disk, and network in real time, manage running services, review system and security logs, manage user accounts, configure networking, manage storage and partitions, manage Podman containers, review and apply software updates, and access a full terminal in the browser -- no SSH client required.
AI SECURITY ASSISTANT
The Security Assistant is a custom Cockpit plugin that collects live system data and sends it to Anthropic Claude for analysis. It covers six analysis types -- Full Security Audit, SSH Configuration Review, Audit Log Analysis, Running Services Review, Network Security Review, and User Account Review. Results are formatted as an Executive Summary, prioritized Findings with severity ratings, numbered Recommendations, and Compliance Notes mapped to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST. The Ask AI tab lets you ask plain-language security questions about your system and get specific answers with real commands.
The Security Assistant uses your own Anthropic API key. Your key is stored only in your browser and never sent to Madarson IT. Analysis data goes directly from your instance to the Anthropic API.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Security teams and system administrators who want a fast, browser-based way to manage SUSE Linux servers without requiring deep CLI expertise for every task. Organizations that want AI-assisted security analysis without paying for a SaaS security platform. Small and mid-sized businesses running SUSE Linux workloads who need compliance-aware security guidance on demand. Developers and DevOps teams who want a lightweight management console with built-in AI security feedback.
QUICK START
- Launch EC2 instance (t3.medium or larger, 20GB EBS minimum). Open port 9090 in Security Group.
- Connect via SSH using your EC2 key pair and username ec2-user.
- Set an access password for the web console using the passwd command.
- Open a browser and navigate to your instance IP address on port 9090.

ANTHROPIC API KEY
The Security Assistant requires an Anthropic API key for AI analysis. Each analysis call costs a few cents depending on the model selected. Claude Sonnet 4 is recommended for detailed analysis. Claude Haiku 4.5 is available for faster, lower-cost responses. Your key is stored only in your browser session and is never transmitted to or stored by Madarson IT.
