PentestGPT: Open-source automated penetration testing agentic framework
PentestGPT is an open-source penetration testing agent that uses large language models to automate security assessments without human intervention. The framework operates in two modes: one that chains reconnaissance, exploitation, and walkthrough stages, and another that performs asset discovery, vulnerability identification, and reporting. The agent autonomously selects and executes tools based on results from each preceding stage.
Why it matters: Red teamers and penetration testers should evaluate how this automated LLM-driven approach affects their workflow and understand the security implications of deploying unsupervised agents against live targets.
