aiscan

AI-driven single-binary pentest agent with a built-in multi-engine arsenal, ready to go

Preview — APIs and features may change between releases

中文文档

aiscan combines LLM agents with traditional security scanning engines. Three modes: Scan (deterministic pipeline, optional AI assist), Agent (natural-language autonomous assessment), IOA (multi-agent distributed collaboration).

Use only on explicitly authorized targets. Unauthorized use is illegal.

Quick Start

# No LLM needed — one-line scan
aiscan scan -i 192.168.1.0/24

# With LLM — one-line agent
aiscan agent --base-url "https://api.deepseek.com" --api-key "sk-..." --model deepseek-chat \
  -p "scan targets and check for high-risk vulnerabilities" -i 192.168.1.0/24

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/chainreactors/aiscan.git && cd aiscan

go build -o aiscan ./cmd/aiscan                          # standard

Features

Design

• Single binary, zero dependencies — statically-linked, drop-in deployment
• Minimal agent core — composable ~160-line loop; tools, retries, evaluation are plugged in, not hardcoded
• Plugin architecture — adding a new tool is one file; heavy dependencies (playwright, katana) are compile-time optional
• Embedded skills — each tool carries its own usage docs and tactical guidance, loaded by the agent on demand
• Scan + Agent unified — the same engines drive both the deterministic pipeline and the autonomous agent

Scan — Deterministic Pipeline

• Multi-stage auto-chaining: port discovery → web probing → weak credentials → POC detection — no LLM required
• Optional AI-driven result verification, public CVE correlation, and dynamic testing
• Quick mode for fast exposure mapping, full mode for deep crawl and extended coverage

Agent — Autonomous Security Assessment

• Natural language tasks — the agent plans, scans, analyzes, and reports autonomously
• Goal evaluation — an independent evaluator judges task completion and drives automatic retry
• Interactive REPL with direct command execution
• Multi-provider fallback for resilience

IOA — Multi-Agent Collaboration

• Shared message spaces for distributed agent coordination
• Worker mode for persistent task listening
• Built-in IOA server with token authentication
• See: Design | CLI | Extension

Built-in Toolset

Scanners - gogo — port, service, and banner discovery - spray — web probing, fingerprinting, path fuzzing - zombie — credential testing - neutron — template-based POC execution - proton — sensitive information scanning (API keys, tokens, credentials, secrets) - cyberhub — fingerprint and POC association query

Browser & Recon (full edition) - playwright — headless Chromium sessions, screenshots, network capture - katana — web crawler with standard/headless/hybrid engines - passive — cyberspace search (FOFA, Hunter, Shodan)

Utilities - tmux — background task sessions with incremental output delivery - arsenal — security tool package manager (crtm), one-command install - proxy — multi-protocol proxy chain (trojan/vless/anytls/hy2/ss) - web_search / fetch — CVE search and URL fetching

Usage

Scan Mode

aiscan scan -i 192.168.1.0/24                                    # quick scan
aiscan scan -i 192.168.1.0/24 --mode full                        # full scan
aiscan scan -i http://target.example --verify=high --sniper       # AI-enhanced
aiscan scan -i http://target.example --mode full --deep --report  # full + deep + report

Agent Mode

# One-shot task
aiscan agent -p "scan and find web vulnerabilities" -i 192.168.1.0/24

# With goal evaluation
aiscan agent -p "full scan" -i http://target.example -e "find all open ports with service fingerprints"

# Interactive REPL
aiscan agent

IOA Mode

# Start IOA server
aiscan ioa serve --ioa-url http://0.0.0.0:8765

# Start IOA worker
aiscan agent --ioa-url http://127.0.0.1:8765 --space pentest-project \
  -p "scan assigned targets and report findings"
