## What it is
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
