PentestAgent is an open-source autonomous security testing platform designed to help organizations identify vulnerabilities and assess security posture by simulating real-world attack scenarios without manual intervention. It brings a modular and automated approach to penetration testing by orchestrating a suite of tools and scripts that can emulate common exploitation techniques, reconnaissance workflows, and post-exploitation activities across targets. Users configure rules, policies, and environments, and the agent continuously probes for weaknesses, prioritizes findings, and generates contextual reports that help both technical and non-technical stakeholders understand risk exposure. Because it supports a range of plug-ins and external security tools, pentestagent can be adapted for web applications, network infrastructure, API surfaces, and even cloud environments, making it flexible for diverse security programs.
