- The post promotes Shannon, an open-source AI pentesting tool using Claude models to autonomously exploit web app vulnerabilities, demonstrated by stealing a test database and gaining admin access in 90 minutes without human input.
- Shannon analyzes source code for targeted attacks via a real browser, delivers executable proof-of-concepts with no false positives, and costs about $50 per run—far below human pentesters' $15-25k fees—while scoring 96% on the XBOW benchmark.
- Released in late 2025, it has gained traction for integrating into CI/CD pipelines to secure AI-generated code, though its automation sparks debates on ethical use and potential for malicious replication of real-world hacks.

Things that didn't happen. Post Elon, X is absolutely the worst platform on the internet. Just dumb troll posts like this engagement farming for a 30 dollar check at the end of the month.

So basically the app finds the admin login site and just randomly starts entering passwords?

We have built software to do this for decades, but just didn't call it AI.
They are so desperate for an AI win.

Na it just tries ever exploit it has in it's database. Then they say "AI" at the end to get more clicks.

So someone pointed at a website with a trivial sqli vulnerability? That's not even somewhat impressive. As others have pointed out, just another very misleading attempt to hock AI on everyone.
