PentestAgent Enables Autonomous Penetration Testing For Security Teams

PentestAgent, developed by programmer Masic (GH05TCREW) and published on GitHub, is an open-source framework that uses LLM-driven autonomous agents, prebuilt attack playbooks, and integration with the HexStrike offensive platform to automate multi-step penetration tests. The tool accelerates reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation workflows, lowering testing costs for defenders while raising dual-use and authorization concerns for security teams.
