AI penetration testing

Pentest your app
as often as you ship.
Not once a year.

AI pentesting that ships exploit-validated findings in hours. SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI evidence auditors accept.

A HackZero assessment dashboard: exploit-validated findings, each with a reproduction.

The trade

Beyond OWASP-grade pentesting.
From $2,999/mo.

Same coverage as a $30K manual engagement. Different cadence. Different cost.

How HackZero works

We don't scan.
We infiltrate.

Three steps, every month. Same loop a human red team runs, automated end to end.

  1. 01

    Recon

    The agent crawls your live app, fingerprints the stack, and builds a target surface. Endpoints, auth flows, third-party calls, and more.

  2. 02

    Exploit

    Parallel agents run real attacks across browser, raw HTTP, WebSockets, and more. Every attempt logged with the exact request that triggered it.

  3. 03

    Report

    Every finding is an exploit-validated reproduction your engineers can fix in a sprint. Not a 400-page PDF.

Inside an engagement

One week. Real attacks.
Reproductions, not warnings.

Every finding includes the exact curl, a screen recording of the exploit, and the diff that closes it.

Safety and guardrails

Real attacks, on production,
without breaking it.

A brutalist concrete labyrinth painted on warm cream paper, dissolving into vertical ink streaks at its edges. A tiny figure walks one of its corridors. Controlled paths, defined scope.

Proof

Real coverage.
Anywhere you check.

OWASP Top 10 coverage

All ten categories. The four pattern-matchers can't:

  • A01

    Broken Access Control

    IDOR, missing auth checks, tenant bleed.

  • A04

    Insecure Design

    Business-logic flaws no scanner can model.

  • A07

    Auth Failures

    Session fixation, JWT key reuse, MFA bypass.

  • A10

    Server-Side Request Forgery

    Internal pivot, cloud metadata exfil.

Frequently asked

Questions before you start.

Do I have to talk to sales to get started?
No. Create an account, connect your repo, verify your domain, sign the rules of engagement, and launch your first pentest yourself. Most teams are running in minutes. The only time you need a human is Enterprise+ terms, procurement paperwork, or a compliance review, and you can reach us then.
How is HackZero different from a SAST scanner like Snyk or Semgrep?
Scanners pattern-match against rules and ship thousands of unprioritized warnings. HackZero runs real attacks against your live application. It exploits chained business logic, broken access control, auth bypasses, and SSRF that scanners cannot see. Every finding ships with a working proof of concept, not a regex match. HackZero does not replace your scanner. It replaces the human red team.
How do I know the findings are real? What about AI hallucinations?
Every HackZero finding ships with the exact curl that triggered it, a screen recording of the exploit, and the diff that closes it. You can re-run the curl in 10 seconds. If it does not reproduce on your infrastructure, it is not a finding. HackZero does not emit 'maybe vulnerable' guesses. Either the exploit chain ran end to end or it did not.
What kinds of vulnerabilities does HackZero actually find?
HackZero goes beyond the OWASP Top 10. We cover all ten categories. The four that scanners consistently miss are A01 Broken Access Control, A04 Insecure Design, A07 Identification and Authentication Failures, and A10 Server-Side Request Forgery. Where we go further: chained business-logic exploits across multiple endpoints. Concrete examples: IDOR, tenant bleed, JWT signing key reuse, session fixation, internal pivot via SSRF, cloud metadata exfiltration, and more.
Will HackZero break our production environment?
No. The GitHub app runs read-only by default. Every attack pattern is reviewed and labelled with a blast radius. HackZero refuses destructive writes, denial of service, and any traffic outside your declared scope. You sign a Rules of Engagement document before any scan runs.
How does the cost compare to a traditional pentest engagement?
A typical manual web-application pentest costs $20,000 to $50,000 and arrives once or twice a year. HackZero starts at $2,999 a month for continuous coverage on one product, billed monthly, cancel any time. Need more than one pentest a month? The volume calculator prices 2 to 20 pentests on a 6-month or annual term, with the per-pentest price dropping as the count goes up. Running a team of 5 or fewer? Apply for the Startup deal at $499 a month. Either way, a year of HackZero costs less than a single manual engagement, and findings ship straight into your issue tracker.

Built for systems
that can't afford mistakes.

Security, privacy, and compliance aren't features. They're table stakes.
