Autonomous Penetration Testing AI Agent

Package Exports

  • pentesting
  • pentesting/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pentesting) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

npm version Docker


🚀 Quick Start

# Install
npm install -g pentesting

✨ Features

Core Capabilities

  • Intelligent Agent: Self-reflection and decision framework (inspired by Claude Code)
  • Confidence Scoring: Only acts on actions with >50% success probability
  • 10-Phase Attack Workflow: Recon → Scan → Enum → Vuln Analysis → Exploitation → PrivEsc → Pivot → Persist → Exfil → Report
  • Auto Docker Management: Automatically pulls and starts pentesting-tools container
  • Multi-Target Attack: Register multiple targets and attack them sequentially
  • Real-time Feedback: See thinking process, tool calls, and results live
  • ESC Interrupt: Stop execution anytime with ESC key
  • Rainbow Spinner: Visual feedback with cycling colors

v0.7.16 New Features

  • Self-Reflection: Agent asks "Is this the fastest way?" before every action
  • Decision Framework: Value = (Probability × Impact) / Time Cost
  • Concrete Tool Commands: Exact ffuf, nmap, hydra syntax with wordlist paths
  • Auto Docker: Container starts automatically when tools are missing
  • Thinking Display: See [thinking] and [reasoning] messages
  • Token Label: Status bar shows 3k tok instead of just 3k
  • Approval Fix: "Approve always" now works correctly (no repeat prompts)

Multi-Target Workflow

# Start pentesting CLI
pentesting

# Register multiple targets
/target add example1.com
/target add example2.com
/target add 192.168.1.1
/target add internal.corp

# View registered targets
/target list
Targets (4):
  1. * example1.com (primary)
  2.   example2.com
  3.   192.168.1.1
  4.   internal.corp

# Attack all targets sequentially
/start all

💻 Programmatic Usage

import { AutonomousHackingAgent, AGENT_EVENT } from 'pentesting';

const agent = new AutonomousHackingAgent(undefined, {
    autoApprove: false,       // Require approval for dangerous tools
    maxIterations: 100,       // Max loop iterations
});

// Multi-target setup
agent.addTarget('example1.com');
agent.addTarget('example2.com');
agent.setTarget('example1.com');

// Listen for events
agent.on(AGENT_EVENT.FINDING, (finding) => {
    console.log(`Found: ${finding.title} (${finding.severity})`);
});

agent.on(AGENT_EVENT.TARGET_SET, (target) => {
    console.log(`Target set: ${target}`);
});

agent.on(AGENT_EVENT.TOOL_CALL, ({ name, input }) => {
    console.log(`Tool: ${name}`);
});

// Start pentesting
await agent.runAutonomous('Get root access');

// Control execution
agent.pause();    // Pause (ESC key equivalent)
agent.resume();   // Resume
agent.abort();    // Complete stop

🐳 Docker Toolkit (Auto-Managed)

Pentesting automatically manages a Docker container with 50+ pre-installed tools.

Automatic Setup

No manual Docker setup required! When you run a command that needs tools like nmap or rustscan:

  1. Pentesting checks if tool exists locally
  2. If not, it automatically pulls agnusdei1207/pentesting-tools:latest
  3. Starts container pentesting-tools with host network
  4. Executes command via docker exec

Manual Docker Control

# Force all commands through Docker
export PENTESTING_DOCKER=1

# Use custom container name
export PENTESTING_CONTAINER=my-pentest-container

# Manual pull (optional - auto-pulled on first use)
docker pull agnusdei1207/pentesting-tools:latest

Included Tools (50+)

Category Tools
Network nmap, rustscan, masscan, netcat, tcpdump
Web ffuf, nikto, sqlmap, httpx, whatweb
Discovery subfinder, amass, nuclei, dnsrecon
Bruteforce hydra, hashcat, john
AD/Windows impacket, crackmapexec, smbclient
Database mysql-client, postgresql-client, redis-tools
Utilities curl, wget, jq, python3, go

🔌 MCP Integration

Extend with additional MCP servers:

const agent = new AutonomousHackingAgent();

// Add filesystem access
await agent.addMCPServer('filesystem', 'npx', [
    '-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem', '/'
]);

// Add custom security tools
await agent.addMCPServer('security-tools', 'docker', [
    'exec', '-i', 'pentesting-tools', '/bin/bash'
]);
