FeaturedAGPL-3.0๐ธ Web Scanning ยท TypeScript
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.
