About deadend-cli

Deadend CLI [!IMPORTANT] It's been a few months that we didn't upload any new release. And the reason is that we are working on a better version for the harness (our current pro version that we plan to release). We will post the roadmap soon but here is some information (open to discussion in the discord), - Adapatable harness to work with other coding agents. - Authentication handling - WAFs bypasses - and much more Join us on the discord to discuss more about it ! Autonomous pentesting agent using feedback-driven iteration Achieves 80% on the full XBOW validation benchmark with Kimi K2.5 at US$122 total API cost for that end-to-end run, with a model-agnostic architecture that supports other deployable LLMs. Like the project or want to know more? Feel free to reach out! [!WARNING] Active Development: This project is undergoing active development. Core features are stable and production-ready, but we're continuously improving the interface, workflows, and adding new capabilities based on user feedback.
