# Welcome to Strix

> Open-source AI hackers to find and fix your app's vulnerabilities

Strix is an autonomous AI-powered penetration testing tool that uses intelligent agents to discover and validate security vulnerabilities in your applications. Unlike traditional scanners, Strix thinks and acts like a real security researcher, combining code analysis, web testing, and exploitation techniques to find real issues.

## What Makes Strix Different?

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Real Vulnerability Validation">
    Strix doesn't just flag potential issues—it validates them with working proof-of-concept exploits. Every reported vulnerability includes detailed reproduction steps and evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Multi-Agent Collaboration">
    Multiple specialized AI agents work together, sharing information and coordinating attacks just like a real penetration testing team.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="White-Box and Black-Box Testing">
    Test deployed applications, analyze source code, or combine both for comprehensive security coverage.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Customizable Testing">
    Use custom instructions to focus on specific vulnerabilities, provide credentials, or guide the testing approach.

## Quick Example

```bash theme={null}
# Test a web application
strix --target https://example.com

# Test local source code with deployed app (white-box)
strix --target ./my-app --target https://staging.example.com

# Focus on specific vulnerabilities
strix --target example.com --instruction "Focus on authentication and authorization"

# Quick CI/CD scan
strix --target https://app.com --scan-mode quick --non-interactive
```
