## π¦ 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 exploitation. 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.
### π Quick Start
```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
```
## Why Use Strix
- **Full Hacker Arsenal** - All the tools a professional hacker needs, built into the agents
- **Real Validation** - Dynamic testing and actual exploitation, thus much fewer false positives
- **Developer-First** - Seamlessly integrates into existing development workflows
- **Auto-Fix & Reporting** - Automated patching with detailed remediation and security reports
## β¨ Features
### π οΈ Agentic Security Tools
- **π Full HTTP Proxy** - Full request/response manipulation and analysis
- **π Browser Automation** - Multi-tab browser for testing of XSS, CSRF, auth flows
- **π» Terminal Environments** - Interactive shells for command execution and testing
- **π Python Runtime** - Custom exploit development and validation
- **π Reconnaissance** - Automated OSINT and attack surface mapping
- **π Code Analysis** - Static and dynamic analysis capabilities
- **π Knowledge Management** - Structured findings and attack documentation
### π― 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
### πΈοΈ 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
## π» Usage Examples
```bash
# Local codebase analysis
strix --target ./app-directory
# Repository security review
strix --target https://github.com/org/repo
# Web application assessment
strix --target https://your-app.com
# Focused testing
strix --target api.your-app.com --instruction "Prioritize authentication and authorization testing"
```
### βοΈ 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
```
