Lonkero vs Shannon
GitHub Stats
About Lonkero
Lonkero is a professional-grade web application security scanner designed to minimize false positives through machine learning classification. It runs 126+ security checks including proof-based XSS detection (generates working payloads that prove exploitability), the OOBZero blind SQL injection engine, SSRF detection, and authentication bypass testing. The ML layer reduces false positive rates to approximately 5%, making results actionable without extensive manual triage. Written in Rust for speed.
About Shannon
Shannon Lite is an autonomous, white-box AI pentester that takes a fundamentally different approach to security testing. Instead of running predefined checks, it reads your source code, understands the application logic, identifies attack vectors, and then executes real exploits to prove vulnerabilities before they reach production. It achieves a 96% score on the XBOW benchmark, outperforming traditional scanners on complex vulnerability chains that require multi-step reasoning. Shannon works with any web application or API, supports multiple frameworks, and produces proof-of-exploitation reports rather than theoretical findings.
