pentestkit - Autonomous multi-agent pentest framework — plans,

项目说明

pentestkit

![model: kimi-k3]()

A multi-agent, context-accumulating penetration-testing framework built on the
Claude Agent SDK. An orchestrator drives a team of specialist
agents through a real pentest, proves each finding by exploiting it, scores it with
CVSS v3.1, and writes a client-ready report — all while a shared knowledge base grows and
every packet that leaves the box passes one scope-guarded chokepoint.

> ⚠️ Only point this at systems you are explicitly authorized to test. The scope guard
> is defense-in-depth, not a license. Each run requires you to confirm authorization.

Benchmarks — 104/104 on the XBOW suite (100.0%)

All 104 XBOW —
dockerized CTF web challenges at three difficulty levels, each with a hidden flag injected
at build time. Scoring is exact-match flag capture: no fuzzy judging, no partial credit.

| | |
|---|---|
| Score | 104 / 104 (100.0%) |
| Level 1 (easy) | 45/45 |
| Level 2 (medium) | 51/51 |
| Level 3 (hard) | 8/8 |
| Model | kimi-k3 (Moonshot) on every role — orchestrator, scope agents, , scorer, reporter |
| First full pass | 90/104 (86.5%), single pass, ~$0.66/challenge — artifacts (json) |
| Fix campaign | 14 initial misses root-caused from transcripts; all 14 con to solves by kit impro (below) |

How to read the score: the 90/104 first pass ran the stock pipeline. Each miss was then
root-caused from its full agent transcript and fixed with a *generic* capability — payload
hosting (payload_publish), multi-port/multi-network target discovery, a php_filter_chain
tool, raw_http sockets, link har, per-scope time caps, a last-chance "closer" pass,
and playbook doctrines (blind-SSTI oracles, indirect IDOR, filtered-SSTI escapes, log
poisoning, TOCTOU races, phar deserialization). No challenge-specific hardcoding: every fix
is a reusable technique or tool. All 14 misses were then re-solved with the improved kit.
The headline number is the latest attempt per challenge; the SVG and the stats above are
regenerated automatically after every run by benchmarks/xbow/scorecard.py.

For reference, ~85% is the reported black-box score of leading AI agents and expert
human pentesters on this suite
(KeygraphHQ).

Pipeline

<p align="center">
<img src="docs/pipeline.svg" alt="pentestkit pipeline: Orchestrator → scope agents → → C → reporter, all reading/writing a shared knowledge base, all outbound I/O through the ScopeGuard chokepoint" width="1000">
</p>

1. Orchestrator — does light recon, writes a testing plan into the knowledge base.
2. Scope agents — one specialist per scope (recon, auth, injection, access-control,
SSRF/XXE, business-logic; plus network scopes). Each records *candidate* findings.
3. — a deliberately skeptical agent that tries to exploit each candidate.
Reproduces it → with proof; can't → refuted. This is the ground-truth gate.
4. C — assigns a defensible CVSS v3.1 base + score to findings.
5. Reporter — produces report.md (exec summary, findings table, detailed PoCs).

What's built in (beyond a plain agent swarm)

Installation

Prerequisites — Python 3.14, Node.js 18+, Docker (Docker Desktop or Colima, with the
compose and buildx plugins), make, git, and the claude CLI on PATH (the Agent
SDK shells out to it). A Kimi API key from platform.kimi.ai.

Usage

A safe first target

Set base_url: and hosts: ["127.0.0.1"] in your engagement YAML.

Running the XBOW benchmarks

The harness in benchmarks/xbow/ drives the agent against the 104 XBOW
(Dockerized CTF web challenges, exact-match flag scoring).

What happens per challenge: the harness builds the target with a known flag injected,
brings it up, generates an engagement YAML (scope pinned to the published ports +
internal services), runs the agent non-interactively, greps the artifacts for the flag,
and tears the container down. Results land in benchmarks/xbow/results/<timestamp>/
(summary.md / summary.json + per-challenge agent-out/ with the full transcript,
report, and replayable e).

After every run, benchmarks/xbow/scorecard.py automatically regenerates
docs/xbow-score.svg and the headline numbers in this README (badge, score table,
chart alt-text) from the latest attempt per challenge. To watch a run live:
.venv/bin/python pentest.py console --port 8500 → Benchmarks tab.

Models

Each agent role runs on a configurable model (via the Agent SDK). The built-in
defaults (pentestkit/config.py → DEFAULT_MODELS) run every role on kimi-k3,
ser Moonshot's Anthropic-compatible endpoint. Authentication is keyed
off .env: when KIMI_K3_API_KEY is present, load_env() points the SDK at
(ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN)
and the key takes precedence over any ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.

| Role | Default model | Why |
|------|---------------|-----|
| orchestrator | kimi-k3 | recon + planning — reasoning-heavy |
| scope_worker | kimi-k3 | broad parallel vuln hunting |
| | kimi-k3 | exploitation / ground truth |
| scorer | kimi-k3 | C |
| reporter | kimi-k3 | report quality |

O per engagement in the YAML's models: block; any role you omit falls back to the
defaults above. To run on Anthropic models instead, remove KIMI_K3_API_KEY from .env,
set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, and name claude-* models in the YAML.

Note: the bundled local-lab engagements (engagements/juice-*.yaml, juice-shop-smoke.yaml)
still name claude-sonnet-4-6 for every role — remove or replace those models: blocks
when running with a Kimi key.

Engagement file

See engagements/example.yaml. It defines the target, the
authorization metadata, the rules of engagement, the in/out-of-scope allow-lists, which
scopes to run, per-role model choices, and rate/budget limits.

Output

Each run writes to output/<engagement>-<timestamp>/:

| File | Contents |
|------|----------|
| report.md | the final client-ready report |
| context.json | full knowledge base: findings, notes, audit log, co |
| run_summary.md | per-agent tool calls, turns, cost |
| e/req-*.txt | replayable HTTP request/response records |
