In this script, we use the “system” command to gather a list of installed system daemons. We then use OpenAI’s Artificial Intelligence API to generate an AI-powered description of each daemon so that we do not have to perform single queries to see what each process does. This enumeration will occur for each daemon installed on the system regardless of their status.

OpenAI’s mission statement is:

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity.

AI can be used to perform many tasks. In this source code, we look at automatically enumerating daemons on a Debian system, as well as providing an AI-generated description of each service.

To use this script, you need to signup for an openai API key:

Place this API key into the top of the source code.

Once done, simply run the script to gather daemon names and a corresponding description provided by OpenAI’s Artificial Intelligence.

apache2 – Apache2 is a web server software program, developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It is a popular open source web server and is used for hosting websites and web applications. Apache2 is designed to be fast and secure, and can be customized to meet the requirements of your particular web application. Apache2 is a popular choice for web hosting due to its reliability, flexibility, and scalability.


apparmor – AppArmor (Application Armor) is a Linux security module that allows system administrators to configure per-program access control policies. It is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system, which is implemented by the Linux kernel and can be used to restrict programs’ capabilities with per-program profiles. AppArmor is designed to protect servers and desktops from security breaches and zero-day attacks. It works by defining a set of rules for each program to follow, and then enforcing those rules when the program is running. AppArmor also provides logging and auditing capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor programs for any suspicious or malicious activity.
