Welcome to the Soterios wiki.
Soterios is an open-source, local-first desktop security and maintenance platform designed to help users scan, audit, monitor, and maintain their systems while keeping privacy as a priority.
Unlike many security utilities, Soterios is built around a simple principle:
Your system information stays on your machine.
Soterios does not include telemetry or analytics. External connections only happen when you use features that require online services.
Soterios provides a unified dashboard for security checks, malware scanning, system inspection, and maintenance tools.
View your overall system security status including:
- Security health score
- Active warnings
- Scan status
- Quarantine statistics
- Real-time protection status
Powered by ClamAV, Soterios supports:
- Quick scans
- Full system scans
- Custom folder scans
- Scan progress tracking
- Scan cancellation
- Threat quarantine
- Scan reports
Review important security settings:
- Windows Defender status
- User Account Control (UAC)
- Windows Update status
- BitLocker status
- Secure Boot status
- PowerShell security policies
Soterios includes maintenance and inspection tools:
- Temporary file cleanup
- Disk usage reports
- Large file finder
- Startup item inspection
- Browser cache reports
- Windows services reports
- Network reports
Inspect what's running on your system:
- Process risk ranking
- CPU and memory usage
- Active network connections
- Network interface activity
Tools for improving password safety:
- Secure password generator
- Password strength checking
- Known breach checks
- Privacy-preserving password lookup
Password breach checks use k-anonymity methods so your full password is never sent.
Soterios is designed with a local-first approach.
Soterios does not collect:
- Usage analytics
- Telemetry
- Personal system information
- Scan history uploads
Security analysis happens locally on your device.
Some features require optional external requests:
| Feature | Service |
|---|---|
| Malware definitions | ClamAV updates |
| Password breach checks | Have I Been Pwned |
| Email breach checks | XposedOrNot |
These requests only happen when you use the related features.
