Could you build this?
No An autonomous AI penetration testing system requires deep cybersecurity expertise, dynamic exploit generation, attack surface reconnaissance, and safe real-time execution sandboxes.
What it would actually take: Requires integrating offensive security toolchains (Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite APIs, Nuclei) with specialized LLM planning agents that understand vulnerability exploitation, network protocols, and evasion techniques. Building an agent that can reliably identify zero-days or chained multi-step vulnerabilities without crashing targets demands seasoned security engineering and specialized cyber domain research.

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