Github Hot List #1: Top AI Hacker Finds Vulnerabilities, 365 Days Without Rest
Today I'm going to introduce you to a project that just hit the top of the Github hot list -- Shannon, a fully automated AI penetration testing tool that has already received 17000+ stars.
What is Shannon?
Shannon is an AI-powered automated penetration testing tool. It can perform security tests on your system 24/7 without interruption, discovering potential security vulnerabilities.
Core Features
1. Fully Automated Operation
Shannon can fully automate the penetration testing process without manual intervention. It automatically identifies targets, selects attack vectors, performs tests, and generates reports.
2. Professional-Grade Reports
The generated security reports are very professional, containing vulnerability details, risk levels, remediation recommendations, and other content that can be directly used for compliance audits.
3. OWASP Vulnerability Coverage
Covers OWASP Top 10 common vulnerability types, including SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication bypass, and other mainstream security issues.
4. Code-Aware Dynamic Testing
Shannon is able to understand the code structure of the application being tested and perform more intelligent dynamic testing, improving the accuracy of vulnerability discovery.
5. Parallel Processing Capability
Supports multi-target parallel testing, greatly improving testing efficiency, suitable for large enterprises to conduct security assessments on multiple systems simultaneously.
Applicable Scenarios
- Internal security teams of enterprises conduct continuous security testing
- Integrate automated security scanning in the DevSecOps process
- Security companies provide penetration testing services
- Developers conduct code security self-checks
