Use Cases
Who benefits most from this tool.
Security teams
Use Shannon for autonomous white-box pentesting of web apps and APIs before release, helping prioritize only vulnerabilities that can be reproduced with a working exploit.
Developers
Run Shannon against your codebase to validate security changes before deployment and catch high-impact issues earlier in the development cycle.
AppSec reviewers and security researchers
Use Shannon to investigate suspected vulnerabilities, map attack paths from source code, and generate proof-of-concept evidence for triage and remediation.
Operators and release managers
Use Shannon as a pre-production gate to reduce the risk of shipping vulnerable web applications or APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shannon?
Shannon is Keygraph’s open-source autonomous AI pentesting tool for web applications and APIs. It uses source-code analysis plus live exploitation to validate whether vulnerabilities are real before reporting them.
Who is Shannon for?
Shannon is built for security teams, developers, and operators who need white-box testing for web applications and APIs, especially before production deployment.
What does Shannon do during a test?
Shannon performs reconnaissance, parallel vulnerability analysis, parallel exploitation, and reporting. It identifies attack paths from source code and then attempts real exploits to confirm findings.
What kinds of vulnerabilities can Shannon target?
Shannon is designed to assess common web and API issues such as injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and broken authentication or authorization.
How do I run Shannon?
Shannon is run locally from the command line. The repository shows npx-based startup and setup flows, including an interactive setup and a pentest command that points Shannon at a target application and source repository.
Does Shannon provide proof that a vulnerability is real?
Yes. A key part of Shannon’s workflow is exploit-based validation, so it aims to provide reproducible proof-of-concept evidence instead of only static findings.
