Raptor

Raptor is an autonomous security research framework that chains static analysis, binary analysis, vulnerability validation, exploit generation, and patch writing.

Raptor is an autonomous security research framework designed to run against codebases or binaries. It uses a modular architecture to chain together static analysis, binary analysis, LLM-powered vulnerability validation, exploit generation, and patch writing. The system acts as an orchestration layer for interactive security tasks, supporting tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, and various LLM models. It is built for security researchers who require a systematic pipeline for scanning, auditing, and patching vulnerabilities. The framework includes sandbox protections to isolate untrusted processes using Linux namespaces and seccomp.
