It actually exploits them. Real injections. Real auth bypasses. Real database exfiltrations.\n\nNot alerts. Not warnings. Actual working exploits with copy-paste proof-of-concepts.\n\nHere's what this thing does autonomously:\n\n→ Reads your entire source code to plan its attack\n→ Maps every endpoint, API route, and auth mechanism\n→ Runs Nmap, Subfinder, and WhatWeb for deep recon\n→ Hunts for Injection, XSS, SSRF, and broken auth in parallel\n→ Launches real browser-based exploits to prove each vulnerability\n→ Generates a pentester-grade report with reproducible PoCs\n\nHere's the wildest part:\n\nIt follows a strict \"No Exploit, No Report\" policy. If it can't actually break it, it doesn't report it. Zero false positives.\n\nIt pointed at OWASP Juice Shop and found 20+ critical vulnerabilities in a single run including complete auth bypass and full database exfiltration.\n\nOn the XBOW Benchmark (hint-free, source-aware), it scored 96.15%.\n\nYour team ships code daily with Claude Code and Cursor. Your pentest happens once a year. That's 364 days of shipping blind.\n\nShannon closes that gap. One command. Fully autonomous.\n\nThe Red Team to your vibe-coding Blue team. Every Claude coder deserves their Shannon.\n\n10.6K GitHub stars. 1.3K forks. Already trending.\n\n100% Open Source.
