AI agents that autonomously plan and execute attack chains — A³C Authenticated Projects
| Project | Description | Language | Stars | License |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cairn | A general-purpose state-space search engine, validated first on autonomous penetration testing. It defines no roles or workflows — given a start and end point, it finds paths through unknown state spaces |  |
 |
 |
| Shannon Lite | An autonomous white-box AI pentester for web applications and APIs. It analyzes source code, identifies attack vectors, and executes real exploits to prove vulnerabilities before they reach production |  |
 |
 |
| SickHackShark | An AI-powered CTF (Capture The Flag) cybersecurity competition automation platform. Uses multi-agent architecture to automate web security testing: recon, scanning, exploitation & flag capture | |
 |
