Strix is an open-source AI penetration testing tool that deploys autonomous agents to find, validate, and fix application vulnerabilities. It performs dynamic testing with real proof-of-exploit evidence across web apps, APIs, code, and cloud infrastructure, and integrates with CI/CD pipelines for continuous security testing.

Use cases

  • run automated penetration tests on my web app
  • find exploitable vulnerabilities in my REST or GraphQL API with proof-of-concept
  • scan pull requests for security issues before merging
  • automate pentesting in my CI/CD pipeline
  • test cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure for misconfigurations
  • generate fix PRs for discovered vulnerabilities
  • practice CTF and bug bounty hunting with AI agents

When to choose

  • you need dynamic, exploit-validated security testing rather than static scanner noise
  • you want continuous pentesting integrated into GitHub Actions or CI/CD
  • you need multi-agent AI testing across web apps, APIs, code, and cloud infrastructure
  • you want automated remediation with merge-ready fix PRs

When to avoid

  • you need a passive static code scanner with zero execution of your app
  • you cannot allow an autonomous agent to run exploits against your systems
  • you need a fully offline tool with no LLM API dependency
  • your compliance requires human-led manual penetration testing reports only
