Partial An LLM agent loop that calls scanning tools is vibe-codeable. A reliable pentest agent, however, needs security expertise to find real vulnerabilities and to avoid false positives, and it needs evaluation data to prove it works.
What it would actually take: The base is an LLM tool-calling loop wrapping existing tools such as nmap, ffuf, and Burp or custom HTTP clients, with a sandboxed execution environment. The hard parts are exploit reasoning that matches real vulnerability classes and a benchmark of vulnerable targets to measure accuracy. Penetration-testing expertise and safe-scope controls are needed.
