🥀 Briar — Autonomous AI Pentester (READ ME OUTDATED) My lazy ass is too lazy to update it
Find vulnerabilities before hackers do. Free. Open Source. No Docker.
Briar is an autonomous AI pentester. It scans web applications, injects real payloads, validates exploits, and generates professional security reports — powered by 11 AI providers including a completely free local mode via Ollama.
pip install briar-pentest && briar setup && briar scan -u https://target.com --deep
What Briar Found — Real Example
Against a file server on port 666 (ransomware-like deployment):
| # | Vulnerability | Severity | CVSS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Path Traversal | 🔴 Critical | 9.1 |
| 2 | IDOR — File Enumeration | 🟠 High | 7.5 |
| 3 | Unauthenticated File Access | 🔴 Critical | 9.1 |
| 4 | Arbitrary File Upload (RCE) | 🔴 Critical | 9.8 |
| 5 | Directory Listing | 🟠 High | 6.5 |
| 6 | HTTP Verb Tampering | 🟡 Medium | 5.0 |
| 7 | Missing Security Headers | 🟢 Low | 3.1 |
| 8 | SSRF via URL param | 🟠 High | 8.6 |
| 9 | Reflected XSS | 🟠 High | 7.2 |
| 10 | Sensitive File Exposure | 🟡 Medium | 5.3 |
Each finding includes: copy-paste curl PoC, CVSS score, tech-specific remediation (nginx/Apache/Flask/Express code).
