Shannon Ai Pentester

Shannon runs live pentests against your web app by reading your source code to find attack surfaces, then actually executing exploits like SQLi, XSS, SSRF, and auth bypasses against the running application. It only reports vulnerabilities it can reproduce with working proof-of-concept code. The whole thing runs in Docker containers and spins up parallel agents that test different vulnerability classes simultaneously. You point it at a URL and repo path, and it generates a report with copy-paste curl commands for every confirmed finding. Good for CI pipelines or pre-deployment audits when you want more than static analysis but don't have time for manual testing. Supports resumable workspaces and handles 2FA automatically if you pass TOTP secrets.

Shannon AI Pentester

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Shannon is an autonomous, white-box AI pentester for web applications and APIs. It reads your source code to identify attack vectors, then executes real exploits (SQLi, XSS, SSRF, auth bypass, authorization flaws) against a live running application — only reporting vulnerabilities with a working proof-of-concept.

How It Works

  1. Reconnaissance — Nmap, Subfinder, WhatWeb, and Schemathesis scan the target
  2. Code Analysis — Shannon reads your repository to map attack surfaces
  3. Parallel Exploitation — Concurrent agents attempt live exploits across all vulnerability categories
  4. Report Generation — Only confirmed, reproducible findings with copy-paste PoCs are included

Installation & Prerequisites

  • Docker (required — Shannon runs entirely in containers)
  • An Anthropic API key, Claude Code OAuth token, AWS Bedrock credentials, or Google Vertex AI credentials
git clone https://github.com/KeygraphHQ/shannon.git
cd shannon
