Show HN: TARS – Open-source tool for automating pentesting with AI agents

2 pointsby mehmet_mhy9 months ago
Hi everyone,<p>With the rise of AI agents and recent advancements in agentic research, my co-founder and I wanted to explore whether we could develop a tool to automate parts of penetration testing. This led to the creation of TARS a few months ago.<p>TARS is our attempt to automate parts of cybersecurity penetration testing using AI agents. Currently, we leverage CrewAI as our agentic framework and GPT-4 as our primary model. We&#x27;ve integrated tools that allow TARS to utilize Nettacker, RustScan, ZAP, Nmap, and web browsing via the Brave API &amp; Selenium.<p>Recently, we decided to make TARS accessible to everyone without any restrictions, so we open-sourced TARS under the MIT license. We see the value in TARS&#x27;s ability to generate general reports from surface-level scans and its potential to perform unique attacks based on the model you&#x27;re using.<p>Since TARS is in early development and still experimental, we&#x27;d greatly appreciate your feedback.<p>You can check out TARS here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;osgil-defense&#x2F;TARS">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;osgil-defense&#x2F;TARS</a><p>And view some demos of TARS here:<p>- Short Demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Sjw_gkSz6Lw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Sjw_gkSz6Lw</a><p>- Long Demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=JSBVHl7PWek" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=JSBVHl7PWek</a><p>Thank you for reading!
