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! --- ## 🦉 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. --- ### 🚀 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/`. ### 🏆 Enterprise Platform Want to skip the setup? Try our cloud-hosted version: **[usestrix.com](https://usestrix.com)** Our managed platform provides: - **📈 Executive Dashboards** - **🧠 Custom Fine-Tuned Models** - **⚙️ CI/CD Integration** - **🔍 Large-Scale Scanning** - **🔌 Third-Party Integrations** - **🎯 Enterprise Support** [**Get Enterprise Demo →**](https://usestrix.com) ## ✨ Features ### 🛠️ Agentic Security Tools - **Full HTTP Proxy** - Full request/response manipulation and analysis - **Browser Automation** - Multi-tab browser for testing of XSS, CSRF, auth flows - **Terminal Environments** - Interactive shells for command execution and testing - **Python Runtime** - Custom exploit development and validation - **Reconnaissance** - Automated OSINT and attack surface mapping - **Code Analysis** - Static and dynamic analysis capabilities - **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 ### 🕸️ 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 ## 💻 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 --instruction "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" ``` ### 🤖 Headless Mode Run Strix programmatically without interactive UI using the `-n/--non-interactive` flag—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 ``` ### 🔄 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 ./ ``` ### ⚙️ 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 ``` [OpenAI's GPT-5](https://openai.com/api/) (`openai/gpt-5`) and [Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5](https://claude.com/platform/api) (`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`) work best with Strix, but we support many [other options](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers). ## 🤝 Contributing We welcome contributions from the community! There are several ways to contribute: ### Code Contributions See our [Contributing Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on: - Setting up your development environment - Running tests and quality checks - Submitting pull requests ### Prompt Modules Collection Help expand our collection of specialized prompt modules for AI agents: - Advanced testing techniques for vulnerabilities, frameworks, and technologies - See [Prompt Modules Documentation](strix/prompts/README.md) for guidelines - Submit via [pull requests](https://github.com/usestrix/strix/pulls) or [issues](https://github.com/usestrix/strix/issues) ## 👥 Join Our Community Have questions?
