Strix Demo
> [!TIP] > **New!** Strix now integrates seamlessly with GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines. Automatically scan for vulnerabilities on every pull request and block insecure code before it reaches production! > [!WARNING] > Only test systems you own or have permission to test. You are responsible for using Strix ethically and legally. --- ## πŸ¦‰ Strix Overview Strix are autonomous AI agents that act just like real hackers - they run your code dynamically, find vulnerabilities, and validate them through actual proof-of-concepts. Built for developers and security teams who need fast, accurate security testing without the overhead of manual pentesting or the false positives of static analysis tools. - **Full hacker toolkit** out of the box - **Teams of agents** that collaborate and scale - **Real validation** with PoCs, not false positives - **Developer‑first** CLI with actionable reports - **Auto‑fix & reporting** to accelerate remediation --- ### 🎯 Use Cases - Detect and validate critical vulnerabilities in your applications. - Get penetration tests done in hours, not weeks, with compliance reports. - Automate bug bounty research and generate PoCs for faster reporting. - Run tests in CI/CD to block vulnerabilities before reaching production. --- ### πŸš€ Quick Start Prerequisites: - Docker (running) - Python 3.12+ - An LLM provider key (or a local LLM) ```bash # Install pipx install strix-agent # Configure AI provider export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5" export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key" # Run security assessment strix --target ./app-directory ``` First run pulls the sandbox Docker image. Results are saved under `agent_runs/`. ### πŸ† Enterprise Platform Want to skip the setup? Try our cloud-hosted version: **[usestrix.com](https://usestrix.com)** Our managed platform provides: - **πŸ“ˆ Executive Dashboards** - **🧠 Custom Fine-Tuned Models** - **βš™οΈ CI/CD Integration** - **πŸ” Large-Scale Scanning** - **πŸ”Œ Third-Party Integrations** - **🎯 Enterprise Support** [**Get Enterprise Demo β†’**](https://usestrix.com) ## ✨ Features ### πŸ› οΈ Agentic Security Tools - **πŸ”Œ Full HTTP Proxy** - Full request/response manipulation and analysis - **🌐 Browser Automation** - Multi-tab browser for testing of XSS, CSRF, auth flows - **πŸ’» Terminal Environments** - Interactive shells for command execution and testing - **🐍 Python Runtime** - Custom exploit development and validation - **πŸ” Reconnaissance** - Automated OSINT and attack surface mapping - **πŸ“ Code Analysis** - Static and dynamic analysis capabilities - **πŸ“ Knowledge Management** - Structured findings and attack documentation ### 🎯 Comprehensive Vulnerability Detection - **Access Control** - IDOR, privilege escalation, auth bypass - **Injection Attacks** - SQL, NoSQL, command injection - **Server-Side** - SSRF, XXE, deserialization flaws - **Client-Side** - XSS, prototype pollution, DOM vulnerabilities - **Business Logic** - Race conditions, workflow manipulation - **Authentication** - JWT vulnerabilities, session management - **Infrastructure** - Misconfigurations, exposed services ### πŸ•ΈοΈ Graph of Agents - **Distributed Workflows** - Specialized agents for different attacks and assets - **Scalable Testing** - Parallel execution for fast comprehensive coverage - **Dynamic Coordination** - Agents collaborate and share discoveries ## πŸ’» Usage Examples ### Default Usage ```bash # Local codebase analysis strix --target ./app-directory # Repository security review strix --target https://github.com/org/repo # Black-Box Web application assessment strix --target https://your-app.com # Grey-Box Security Assesment strix --target https://your-app.com --instructions "Perform authenticated testing using the following credentials user:pass" # Multi-target white-box testing (source code + deployed app) strix -t https://github.com/org/app -t https://your-app.com # Focused testing with instructions strix --target api.your-app.com --instruction "Focus on business logic flaws and IDOR vulnerabilities" ``` ### πŸ€– Headless Mode Run Strix programmatically without interactive UI using the `-n/--non-interactive` flagβ€”perfect for servers and automated jobs. The CLI prints real-time vulnerability findings, and the final report before exiting. Exits with non-zero code when vulnerabilities are found. ```bash strix -n --target https://your-app.com ``` ### πŸ”„ CI/CD (GitHub Actions) Strix can be added to your pipeline to run a security test on pull requests with a lightweight GitHub Actions workflow: ```yaml name: strix-penetration-test on: pull_request: jobs: security-scan: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Install Strix run: pipx install strix-agent - name: Run Strix env: STRIX_LLM: ${{ secrets.STRIX_LLM }} LLM_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }} run: strix -n -t ./ ``` ### βš™οΈ Configuration ```bash export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5" export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key" # Optional export LLM_API_BASE="your-api-base-url" # if using a local model, e.g. Ollama, LMStudio export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY="your-api-key" # for search capabilities ``` [πŸ“š View supported AI models](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers) ## 🀝 Contributing We welcome contributions from the community!
