tom_doerr · x · 2026-09-10
GitHub project AIRecon (988 stars) is an autonomous penetration testing agent combining a self-hosted Ollama LLM with a Kali Linux Docker sandbox, running a RECON → ANALYSIS → EXPLOIT → REPORT pipeline for security assessments and bug bounty recon, with a real-time Textual TUI.
- Fully offline: no API keys, no cloud dependency
- Motivation: commercial API models are prohibitively expensive for recursive recon workflows needing thousands of LLM calls per session
- Native Caido proxy integration, open source
