Shannon, an AI Pentester With 51K GitHub Stars, Runs Real Exploits
huangyun_122 · x · 2026-11-04
Shannon, an open-source AI pentester for web apps and APIs (51K stars, 5.9K forks, AGPL-3.0), shifts security left: it analyzes your source code, identifies attack vectors, and launches real exploits to prove vulnerabilities are exploitable — claiming zero false alerts. It detects SQL injection, XSS, SSRF and more, works with any model (DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Grok), and outputs PDF + SARIF reports. The author warns it is genuinely destructive and should only run in test environments.
