CyberStrike

CyberStrike is an open-source AI penetration testing agent that executes autonomous offensive security tasks.

CyberStrike is an autonomous AI agent for penetration testing and security research. It deploys expert AI agents for reconnaissance, web, network, cloud, and post-exploitation tasks. Users bring their own API keys to integrate with models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, and local options via Ollama or LM Studio. The platform features built-in Chromium for browser crawling, 3-gate Proof-of-Concept validation to eliminate false positives, and Model Context Protocol support for over 176 security tools. It supports self-hosting on VPS, Docker, or Kali servers with Ed25519 key-pairing, and includes CLI, TUI, Web, and IDE integrations.
