BruteForceAI
Advanced LLM-powered brute-force tool combining AI intelligence
BruteForceAI is an open-source security testing tool that applies large language models to the analysis of login forms and authentication flows in web applications. At a high level, the project uses AI to inspect HTML content, identify the relevant form elements, and automate selector discovery so that a tester does not need to hand-map every field before evaluation. It combines that analysis layer with automated credential testing workflows, framing itself as a more adaptive alternative to older brute-force tooling that depends heavily on manual configuration. The repository emphasizes features such as threaded execution, logging, and notification integrations, which position it as an automation-oriented project for controlled security assessment environments. From a software design perspective, its distinguishing idea is the use of language models as a front-end analysis layer that interprets a target page before the rest of the workflow proceeds. -

llamafile
Distribute and run LLMs with a single file
llamafile lets you distribute and run LLMs with a single file. (announcement blog post). Our goal is to make open LLMs much more accessible to both developers and end users. We're doing that by combining llama.cpp with Cosmopolitan Libc into one framework that collapses all the complexity of LLMs down to a single-file executable (called a "llamafile") that runs locally on most computers, with no installation. The easiest way to try it for yourself is to download our example llamafile for the LLaVA model (license: LLaMA 2, OpenAI). LLaVA is a new LLM that can do more than just chat; you can also upload images and ask it questions about them. With llamafile, this all happens locally; no data ever leaves your computer. -
