Could you build this?
Partial The UI and agent orchestration wrapper are straightforward, but an effective autonomous penetration testing agent requires safe sandboxed execution environments and deep integration with offensive security tooling.
What it would actually take: Built with Go for tooling orchestration and concurrency, Next.js for the UI, and Docker/gVisor for isolated target execution. The difficult aspect is writing robust tool-use loops around network tools (nmap, metasploit, ffuf) that prevent state blowup, handle non-deterministic CLI outputs, and execute realistic multi-step exploit chains without hallucinating success.
