Start inside the user's day · Public facts + observable behavior · 2026-09-07

Use case

Security researchers or engineers need to automate vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to discover system security weaknesses.

Currently relies on commercial security testing tools (e.g., Nessus, Burp Suite) or manual penetration testing services.

Traditional penetration testing is time-consuming and relies on expert experience, making it difficult to scale across many systems.
