AI Pentesting
Use AI agents to autonomously conduct penetration tests on web applications. Combine LLM reasoning with security tools (nmap, subfinder, nuclei, sqlmap, browser automation) to find and prove vulnerabilities with minimal human intervention.
Overview
The AI Pentesting skill, hosted within the TerminalSkills/skills repository, enables autonomous security assessments of web applications. By integrating large language model reasoning with industry-standard security utilities, this skill allows agents like Claude, Gemini, and Codex to perform complex vulnerability discovery. The system utilizes tools such as nmap for network scanning, subfinder for subdomain discovery, and nuclei for template-based scanning. It further incorporates sqlmap and browser automation to identify and validate security flaws with minimal human oversight. This implementation, part of a project with 71 stars on GitHub, provides a structured approach for AI agents to conduct end-to-end security reviews, leveraging Python-based automation to bridge the gap between LLM intelligence and practical security tooling.

Security Notes
This skill executes active security scanning tools and browser automation, which may trigger defensive alerts or impact target system stability. Users should ensure they have explicit authorization before deploying these autonomous agents against any infrastructure, as the LLM-driven reasoning process may perform unpredictable sequences of security tests.
