Could you build this?
Partial The orchestration UI and agent runner are straightforward, but generating verified, safe, and autonomous penetration testing exploits requires specialized offensive security knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires an agent loop integrated with underlying security toolchains (nmap, sqlmap, Burp/ZAP APIs, Metasploit) in sandboxed container environments, coupled with constrained deterministic planning to prevent destructive actions. The hard part is building verification modules that reliably confirm vulnerabilities without false positives or crashing targets. Needs offensive cybersecurity (OSCP/OSCE level) expertise to construct valid exploit chains and guardrails.
