PentestCode Review: A Terminal AI Agent for Pentesting and Bug Bounty
glenbeer · x · 2026-10-31
Hackers Arise profiles PentestCode, an autonomous terminal agent for pentesting and bug bounty that works with free AI models — no API key needed to start.
Key points
- A hard fork of OpenCode stripped of code-editing features and rebuilt for offensive security; point it at a target and it runs tools, reads output, maps the network, and decides next steps autonomously
- Tested well on both web and network pentesting in the author's hands
- Free usage limits reset daily (5-14 hours), enough for many tasks
- Part 23 of the AI in Cybersecurity series, with full setup instructions
