👋 Hey Product Hunt - I’m Allam, creator of Strix.
Strix is an open-source AI penetration testing agent. It finds real vulnerabilities in real apps, validates them, and generates detailed reports with PoCs.
We launched just a month ago, and since then Strix has grown to ~2,000 GitHub stars ⭐ and ~8,000 downloads 🚀.
It’s already being used by:
- Security engineers at Fortune 500s
- Top 1% bug bounty hunters on HackerOne
- Top Auditing & compliance firms
Strix has uncovered hundreds of critical vulnerabilities in production systems and open-source projects.
Why we built it 👉 We believe security should be open, accessible, and trusted - not locked behind closed tools for only the biggest enterprises.
🎯 You can use it to:
- Detect and validate critical vulnerabilities in your applications.
- Get penetration tests done in hours, not weeks, with compliance reports.
- Automate bug bounty research and generate PoCs for faster reporting.
- Run tests in CI/CD to block vulnerabilities before reaching production.
Strix is Apache-2.0 licensed, fully open source, and free to try.
We’d love your feedback and ideas on how we can make it even better!

Reallly cool direction. An AI pen-testing agent is ambitious and much needed. If you pull off accurate vulnerability detection + explainability, this could shift how devs secure code. Looking forward to trying it out.
Love the idea! Just tried it out and unfortunately I was not able to get a report yet because my laptop went to sleep first time around and the second time I hit my OpenAI limit so it would be awesome to integrate a resume feature or find a way to break down the testing into smaller chunks.
Would love to see where this goes!
Love it!
From "please fix" to "please break".
Had to be done.
