Description

Strix is an open-source AI penetration testing agent that automatically finds and fixes web app vulnerabilities, an automation aide for security teams.

Key Features

  • AI-driven — agent runs recon, vuln detection, exploitation, and reporting
  • Web-first — purpose-built for web application security testing
  • Open-source and extensible — tools can be customized and extended
  • Auto-reporting — vuln details, repro steps, and remediation suggestions
  • Sandboxed — exploits run in isolation
  • Integrations — works with OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite

Use Cases

💡 Running automated web pentests in CI
💡 Generating structured reports for security audits
💡 Augmenting secure-code reviews
💡 Providing a platform for red-team training
