I'm confused. It says:

Is the Monkey different thing than Infection Monkey or is it actually not open source? Or is the term "proprietary" used only as buzzword?
- nyellin 6y agoIt is open source to the best of my knowledge. (I know one of the developers at Guardicore which develops it.)
- thinkmassive 6y agoLooks like it’s licensed under GPL v3. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/guardicore/monkey https://github.com/guardicore/monkey It sounds like it’s self contained, because according to the FAQ: “The Infection Monkey does not require internet access to function.” My guess is the author of the Swimm article got confused or mis-stated the proprietary aspect. Perhaps they were thinking of a paid GuardiCore tool with additional functionality.
