# AI-Powered Autonomous Penetration Testing Agent

An advanced AI-driven cybersecurity tool that autonomously performs comprehensive penetration testing using reinforcement learning to improve attack strategies over time.

## 🚀 Features

- **Autonomous Reconnaissance**: Automated target discovery and information gathering
- **Intelligent Vulnerability Scanning**: AI-powered vulnerability detection and assessment
- **Automated Exploitation**: Smart exploit selection and execution
- **Privilege Escalation**: Post-exploitation capabilities with AI guidance
- **Reinforcement Learning**: Continuously improves attack strategies based on success rates
- **Comprehensive Reporting**: Detailed attack paths with remediation advice
- **Ethical Safeguards**: Built-in safety mechanisms and authorization controls

## ⚠️ Important Disclaimer

This tool is designed for **authorized security testing only**. Users must:
- Have explicit permission to test the target systems
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
- Use only on systems they own or have written authorization to test
- Follow responsible disclosure practices

**The developers are not responsible for any misuse of this tool.**

## 🛠️ Installation

1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
git clone
cd AI-Powered-Pentest-Agent
```

2. **Install dependencies**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

3. **Set up configuration**:
```bash
cp config/config.example.yaml config/config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml with your settings
```

4. **Initialize the database**:
```bash
python scripts/init_db.py
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from core.agent import PentestAgent

# Initialize the agent
agent = PentestAgent(
target="example.com",
scope=["web", "network"],
max_depth=3
)

# Run autonomous penetration test
results = agent.run_autonomous_test()

# Generate report
agent.generate_report("pentest_report.html")
```

### API Usage

```bash
# Start the API server
python api/main.py

# Run a test via API
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/test" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"target": "example.com", "scope": ["web"]}'
```

## 📊 AI Components

### Reinforcement Learning Agent
- **Environment**: Custom gym environment simulating penetration testing scenarios
- **Algorithm**: PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) for stable learning
- **Rewards**: Based on successful exploits, privilege escalation, and data access
- **State Space**: Target information, discovered vulnerabilities, current access level
- **Action Space**: Available exploits, reconnaissance techniques, privilege escalation methods

### Strategy Optimization
- **Attack Path Planning**: AI-driven selection of optimal attack sequences
- **Resource Allocation**: Intelligent distribution of testing resources
- **Adaptive Techniques**: Dynamic adjustment based on target responses

## 🔧 Configuration

Key configuration options in `config/config.yaml`:

```yaml
# Safety and Ethics
safety:
require_authorization: true
max_scan_intensity: "medium"
rate_limiting: true

# AI Settings
ai:
rl_learning_rate: 0.0003
exploration_rate: 0.1
model_update_frequency: 100

# Testing Scope
scope:
web_application: true
network_infrastructure: true
social_engineering: false
physical_security: false
```

## 📈 Reporting

The agent generates comprehensive reports including:

- **Executive Summary**: High-level findings and risk assessment
- **Technical Details**: Specific vulnerabilities and exploitation paths
- **Attack Timeline**: Chronological sequence of successful attacks
- **Remediation Advice**: Prioritized recommendations for fixing issues
- **AI Insights**: Learning outcomes and strategy improvements

## 🔒 Security Features

- **Authorization Verification**: Ensures proper permissions before testing
- **Rate Limiting**: Prevents overwhelming target systems
- **Audit Logging**: Complete trail of all actions taken
- **Safe Mode**: Non-destructive testing options
- **Emergency Stop**: Immediate halt capability
