Gauntlt is a ruggedization framework for running security attacks against applications using Gherkin-style attack files, usable by developers, ops, and security teams. It wraps attack tools like generic shell commands behind a Cucumber-based CLI so security tests can fit into build pipelines.

Use cases

• run automated security tests in a CI pipeline
• write penetration test scenarios in Gherkin syntax
• be mean to your code with ruggedization attacks
• test my web app for common vulnerabilities as part of the build
• wrap security tools like nmap and sqlmap in reproducible test files
• onboard devs and ops to security testing

When to choose

• you want security tests described in readable Gherkin attack files
• you need to integrate attack tooling into CI/CD pipelines
• your team mixes developers, ops, and security engineers

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively developed security testing tool
• you want a GUI or low-code vulnerability scanner
• you are not comfortable with Ruby and CLI tooling
