Always-on autonomous pentesting: wiring Claude Opus and Hermes Agent into Kali Linux
Thionne_WTZ · x · 2026-11-05
A workflow for autonomous defense: run Kali Linux, wire in autonomous tools like Hermes Agent and Claude Opus, and have them continuously scan your apps, API endpoints and VPS for weak configs, exposed ports and bad auth flows. The Telegram bot screenshot shows the agent running nmap fully on its own — timing out on a 65k-port scan, self-optimizing to a top-2000 fast scan, spotting tcpwrapped ports and digging deeper into the real attack surface. The pitch: shift from manual security to always-on autonomous testing while you sleep.
