Shannon is an AI pentester for web applications and APIs. It analyzes your source code, identifies attack vectors, and executes real exploits to prove vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Why we included this project
Most teams that ship code every week still treat pentesting as a once-a-year event, and Shannon is aimed at that gap. It is an agent that reads your web application's source code, figures out where the weak points are, and then executes real exploits against the running app and its APIs. The report only includes findings backed by a working proof of concept, so you get confirmed vulnerabilities instead of speculative warnings. You run it from the command line against systems you own or are authorized to test, and a single command covers the whole scan, with resumable workspaces for long jobs. That makes it practical for security engineers and appsec-minded developers to test each release instead of waiting for an annual engagement. Just remember it executes real exploits, so it belongs in authorized testing environments, and you will need to clear cyber-safeguards with your AI provider before the first scan.
