SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate multi-phase penetration testing by orchestrating existing scanning skills as subagents to deliver a complete, repeatable assessment across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates four phases: reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation validation, and consolidated reporting.
  • Delegates to existing skills (e.g., x-audit-code signals, x-run-sast, x-run-dast, x-scan-secrets) to compose a full pentest workflow.
  • Enforces environment restrictions and safety guardrails, including production confirmation for prod runs.

Quick Start

Run the pentest orchestrator against a target by specifying environment and target to execute all phases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-phase penetration testing across different environments?

Multi-phase penetration testing is coordinated by orchestrating existing scanning skills as subagents to execute reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation validation, and reporting across local, dev, homolog, and prod environments.

Can I run penetration testing safely in a production environment?

Yes, penetration testing supports production environments but enforces strict environment restrictions and safety guardrails, requiring explicit production confirmation before executing any scanning or validation phases against prod targets.

What is the best way to coordinate multiple security scanning tools into a single assessment?

The best way to coordinate multiple security scanning tools is using an orchestrator that delegates tasks to sub-skills like SAST, DAST, and secret scanning, generating a centralized, repeatable pentest report from the consolidated results.

Does this penetration testing orchestrator support quick and full operation modes?

Yes, the penetration testing orchestrator supports configurable quick or full operations, allowing you to select the depth of the assessment and execute specific phases like reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning independently or end-to-end.

What prerequisites or scanning skills are needed for automated exploitation validation?

Automated exploitation validation requires existing scanning skills to be present, as the orchestrator delegates tasks to sub-skills like SAST, DAST, and secret scanning to validate findings and compose a full pentest workflow.
