Could you build this?
No Autonomous penetration testing requires deep offensive cybersecurity expertise, real exploit synthesis, and safe payload verification engines that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Building an autonomous pentesting engine requires integrating vulnerability scanning with dynamic exploit validation running in isolated sandbox environments. It demands a specialized knowledge base of CVEs, web application attack chains, AST-level source code analysis, and custom orchestration logic to ensure production environments are tested thoroughly without unintended service disruption.

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