Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cybersecurity, Part 30: Shannon – AI Pentester for Web Apps and APIs
Shannon is a white-box AI pentester (@keygraph/shannon) that analyzes an application's source code, then attacks the running instance and reports only findings with a working PoC. The Hackers Arise tutorial runs it against OWASP Juice Shop in Docker on Kali, using OpenRouter (free Nemotron) and local Ollama (Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B) via a models.json file. Output includes PDF, Markdown, JSON and SARIF reports.
