Strix Overview

Strix are autonomous AI penetration testing agents that act just like real hackers - they run your code dynamically, find vulnerabilities, and validate them through actual proofs-of-concept. Built for developers and security teams who need fast, accurate security testing without the overhead of manual pentesting or the false positives of static analysis tools.

Key Capabilities:

• Full pentesting toolkit - reconnaissance, exploitation, and validation out of the box
• Multi-agent orchestration - teams of AI pentesters that collaborate and scale
• Real exploit validation - working PoCs, not false positives like legacy vulnerability scanners
• Developer‑first CLI - actionable findings with remediation guidance
• Auto‑fix & reporting - generate patches and compliance-ready pentest reports

Use Cases

• Application Security Testing - Detect and validate critical vulnerabilities in your applications
• Rapid Penetration Testing - Get penetration tests done in hours, not weeks, with compliance reports
• Bug Bounty Automation - Automate bug bounty research and generate PoCs for faster reporting
• CI/CD Integration - Run tests in CI/CD to block vulnerabilities before reaching production

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites:

• Docker (running)
• An LLM API key from any supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)

Installation & First Scan

# Install Strix
curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash

# Configure your AI provider
export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5.4"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Run your first security assessment
strix --target ./app-directory

[!NOTE] First run automatically pulls the sandbox Docker image. Results are saved to strix_runs/<run-name>

✨ Features

Agentic Pentesting Tools

Strix agents come equipped with a comprehensive offensive security toolkit - the same tools used by professional penetration testers and ethical hackers:

• HTTP Interception Proxy - Full request/response manipulation and analysis with Caido
• Browser Exploitation - Automated browser for testing XSS, CSRF, clickjacking, and auth bypass flows
• Shell & Command Execution - Interactive terminal for exploit development and post-exploitation
• Custom Exploit Runtime - Python sandbox for writing and validating proof-of-concept exploits
• Reconnaissance & OSINT - Automated attack surface mapping, subdomain enumeration, and fingerprinting
• Static & Dynamic Code Analysis - SAST + DAST capabilities for comprehensive application security testing
• Vulnerability Knowledge Base - Structured findings with CVSS scoring and OWASP classification

Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner

Strix identifies, validates, and exploits a wide range of security vulnerabilities across the OWASP Top 10 and beyond:

• Broken Access Control - IDOR, privilege escalation, auth bypass
• Injection Attacks - SQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command injection, SSTI
• Server-Side Vulnerabilities - SSRF, XXE, insecure deserialization, RCE
• Client-Side Attacks - XSS (stored/reflected/DOM), prototype pollution, CSRF
• Business Logic Flaws - Race conditions, payment manipulation, workflow bypass
• Authentication & Session - JWT attacks, session fixation, credential stuffing vectors
• Infrastructure & Cloud - Misconfigurations, exposed services, cloud security issues
• API Security - Broken authentication, mass assignment, rate limiting bypass

Graph of Agents (Multi-Agent Pentesting)

Advanced multi-agent orchestration for comprehensive automated penetration testing:

• Distributed Pentesting - Specialized AI agents for recon, exploitation, and post-exploitation
• Scalable Security Testing - Parallel execution across multiple targets for fast, comprehensive coverage
• Dynamic Coordination - Agents share discoveries, chain vulnerabilities, and collaborate like a red team
