Pentest Swarm AI: Autonomous Pentesting with nmap & Metasploit

Pentest Swarm AI is a new open-source autonomous penetration testing platform. It uses a swarm intelligence architecture, unlike tools that follow a fixed sequence. Developed by Armur AI, this platform gives security professionals live, coordinated access to various offensive tools. These include nmap, SQLMap, Burp Suite, ZAP, and Metasploit, all driven by an AI model of your choice. What's interesting is how it works as a true swarm. Agents coordinate by writing findings to a shared blackboard, using "pheromones" to guide other agents towards high-value paths. Attack chains form without any central planner. Each agent runs its own trigger, making it flexible to add or remove agents. The platform comes with eight ProjectDiscovery tools and supports an nmap XML adapter. sqlmap, Burp, Metasploit, and ZAP adapters are planned for future releases. It supports Claude, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible model, offering flexibility for cost and privacy. Every campaign produces submission-ready output in Markdown, HTML, JSON, and SARIF formats. Findings are automatically deduplicated and CVSS v3.1 scored. This new tool could significantly change how penetration testing is conducted, making it more dynamic and autonomous.
