The Claude Code of penetration testing.

Seraph is an AI pentest agent that runs in your terminal. Point it at a target, and it plans, scans, exploits, and escalates — asking your input between phases, streaming every tool call and finding in real time.

It learns from every engagement. The knowledge base (Qdrant + Neo4j + MITRE ATT&CK) continuously improves via LoRA fine-tuning on your retrieval feedback, so the tenth machine in a class is faster than the first.

Install

Requirements: Python 3.12+, Docker, an Anthropic API key

pip install seraph-suite

Or with uv (recommended):

uv tool install seraph-suite

Then run the one-time setup:

seraph setup

Setup will:

• Create .env and prompt for your API key
• Pull and start the Docker services (Qdrant, Neo4j, Redis)
• Download and ingest the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base

---

Usage

Interactive REPL

seraph

Type a target IP or hostname to start. Type anything mid-engagement to steer the agent.

  seraph> 10.10.11.42
  seraph> focus on the web service, port 80
  seraph> findings
  seraph> status
  seraph> clear
  seraph> quit

Quick-start against a target

seraph -t 10.10.10.3

HTB benchmarking

# Single machine
seraph bench --machine Lame --timeout 3600

# All Easy machines with report
seraph bench --difficulty Easy --all --report --output reports/easy.md

Knowledge base ingestion

# NVD CVE feed
seraph ingest nvd --year 2024

# MITRE ATT&CK (auto-downloads the STIX bundle)
seraph ingest mitre --download

# ExploitDB (clone the mirror first)
git clone https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb ./data/exploitdb
seraph ingest exploitdb

# Your own CTF writeups (Markdown)
seraph ingest writeups ./data/writeups/

# Check ingestion stats
seraph ingest stats

Sandbox isolation

Run all tool invocations inside isolated Docker containers (Manus-style):

SANDBOX_ENABLED=true seraph -t 10.10.10.3

# Pre-build the agent image
make sandbox-build

How it works

 You
  │   type target / instruction
  ▼
 Orchestrator  ──── Claude Opus (planning)
  │
  ├── Recon Agent    → nmap, gobuster, curl
  ├── Exploit Agent  → metasploit, sqlmap, hydra
  ├── Privesc Agent  → linpeas, sudo checks, SUID
  ├── CTF Agent      → flag hunting, stego, web challenges
  └── Memorist       → logs which KB docs helped
         │
         ▼
  Knowledge Base
  ├── Qdrant   (BM25 + dense hybrid search, RRF fusion)
  ├── Neo4j    (MITRE ATT&CK graph, CVE → technique links)
  └── SQLite   (sessions, feedback, ingestion state)
         │
         ▼
  Self-learning loop
  └── feedback → hard negatives → triplets → LoRA fine-tune

Retrieval pipeline — every KB query runs:

1. BM25 sparse search (exact CVE IDs, tool names)
2. Dense semantic search (nomic-embed-text-v1.5, local)
3. RRF fusion
4. Neo4j graph traversal (expands CVE → linked techniques)
5. Cross-encoder reranking (bge-reranker-v2-m3, local)

All embeddings are computed locally — no API calls for embeddings.

Configuration

All settings come from .env. Copy .env.example to get started.

Variable	Default	Description
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	—	Required. Your Anthropic key
QDRANT_URL	http://localhost:6333	Qdrant vector store
NEO4J_URI	bolt://localhost:7687	Neo4j graph store
NEO4J_PASSWORD	seraph_secret	Neo4j password
REDIS_URL	redis://localhost:6379/0	Celery broker
SANDBOX_ENABLED	false	Docker tool isolation
DENSE_EMBEDDING_MODEL	nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5	Local embedding model
RERANKER_MODEL	BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3	Local reranker model
LOG_LEVEL	INFO	Log verbosity

Services can be managed with:

make up      # start Qdrant + Neo4j + Redis
make down    # stop all services
make dev     # start with dev overrides

Agents

Agent	What it does	Tools
Orchestrator	Plans phases, dispatches sub-agents	—
Recon	Port scanning, service fingerprinting	nmap, gobuster, curl
Exploit	CVE matching, initial access	metasploit, sqlmap, hydra
Privesc	Privilege escalation	linpeas, custom checks
CTF	Flag hunting, stego, web challenges	gobuster, curl
Memorist	Logs KB feedback for self-learning	—

When more than 20 tools are available, agents use RAG-based tool selection instead of passing all tools to the LLM.

---

Self-learning

Every engagement makes Seraph better:

1. Memorist logs which retrieved documents the LLM cited vs ignored
2. Hard negatives mined from keyword-similar but semantically wrong retrievals
3. Triplets (query, positive, negative) accumulated in SQLite
4. LoRA adapter trained on nomic-embed-text-v1.5 when enough triplets accumulate
5. Projection layer applied at query time — no need to re-embed the entire corpus

Retrieval quality improves measurably after ~50 engagements on similar machine classes.

---

Testing

# Unit tests (no services needed)
make test-unit

# All tests + coverage report
make test

# Integration tests (requires services running)
make up && make test-integration

# Sandbox tests (requires Docker + agent image)
make sandbox-build && make sandbox-test

Coverage is enforced at 80%+.

---

Dashboard

A FastAPI + React 18 dashboard is available:

make api-dev        # API at http://localhost:8000/docs
make dashboard-dev  # UI  at http://localhost:5173

Contributing

Issues and PRs are welcome. Please open an issue before a large PR to align on direction.

1. Fork and create a branch
2. Type hints everywhere, Pydantic v2, async I/O, structlog
3. Write tests first — 80% coverage minimum
4. make lint && make test-unit before pushing
