Could you build this?
Partial While LLM orchestration can be vibe-coded, an autonomous pentesting agent requires complex security tool integration, real-world exploit verification harnesses, and defensive sandbox infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires an orchestration layer (Python, LangChain/LangGraph) driving containerized Kali Linux tools (Nmap, Metasploit, Nuclei) via controlled execution environments. The hard part is building deterministic verification harnesses and anti-hallucination verification logic that confirm vulnerabilities through actual side effects in target environments without crashing systems, demanding deep penetration testing and systems security knowledge.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
