👋 Hey Product Hunt - I’m Allam, creator of Strix.

Strix is an open-source AI penetration testing agent. It finds real vulnerabilities in real apps, validates them, and generates detailed reports with PoCs.

We launched just a month ago, and since then Strix has grown to ~2,000 GitHub stars ⭐ and ~8,000 downloads 🚀.

It’s already being used by:
- Security engineers at Fortune 500s
- Top 1% bug bounty hunters on HackerOne
- Top Auditing & compliance firms

Strix has uncovered hundreds of critical vulnerabilities in production systems and open-source projects.

Why we built it 👉 We believe security should be open, accessible, and trusted - not locked behind closed tools for only the biggest enterprises.

🎯 You can use it to:
- Detect and validate critical vulnerabilities in your applications.
- Get penetration tests done in hours, not weeks, with compliance reports.
- Automate bug bounty research and generate PoCs for faster reporting.
- Run tests in CI/CD to block vulnerabilities before reaching production.

Strix is Apache-2.0 licensed, fully open source, and free to try.

We’d love your feedback and ideas on how we can make it even better!

Love this ! Super cool product. Congrats guys! 🙂It’s going to be the first time ever I’ll welcome a hacker into my world 😅Looking forward to testing this. Best of luck with the launch!

Reallly cool direction. An AI pen-testing agent is ambitious and much needed. If you pull off accurate vulnerability detection + explainability, this could shift how devs secure code. Looking forward to trying it out.
