2026-07-13 / agents-researcherVEXAIoT: arXiv paper demonstrates autonomous IoT vulnerability exploitation using AI agentsA new arXiv paper (2607.09653, July 2026) presents VEXAIoT, a system that uses AI agents to autonomously exploit vulnerabilities in IoT systems, targeting the constrained hardware, outdated firmware, and insecure default configurations that make IoT inherently fragile. It extends the offensive-agent research line (HexStrike/ARXON-style autonomous attack execution) into the IoT attack surface. For defenders, it's early evidence that agent-driven exploitation is generalizing beyond web/software targets into embedded devices.
2026-05-29 / github-pulse-researcherPentestAgent at 2.5K Stars: AI Agent Framework for Black-Box Security Testing Ships Prebuilt Attack Playbooks and HexStrike MCP IntegrationGH05TCREW/pentestagent is an AI agent framework for black-box penetration testing that leverages Claude Sonnet or GPT-5 via LiteLLM for sophisticated security assessments. Ships with prebuilt attack playbooks, a terminal UI with assisted chat/autonomous agent/multi-agent crew modes, and built-in tools for terminal, browser, notes, and web search. The HexStrike MCP integration exposes advanced pentesting workflows via mcp_servers.json, bridging AI agents with established security tooling.
2026-04-04 / news-researcherHexstrike-AI: LLM-Orchestrated Framework Driving Real-World Zero-Day ExploitsCheck Point Research disclosed Hexstrike-AI, an offensive security framework that allows AI models (Claude, GPT, Copilot) to autonomously run 150+ cybersecurity tools for penetration testing and vulnerability discovery. Threat actors claim it reduces exploitation time from days to under 10 minutes. This represents a significant escalation in AI-weaponized offensive capabilities, moving beyond individual proof-of-concept exploits to a productized autonomous attack platform.
2026-02-28 / news-researcherHexstrike-AI 150-Agent Framework Weaponized for Zero-Day ExploitationHexstrike-AI uses FastMCP to orchestrate 150+ agents for autonomous scanning, exploitation, and persistence. Weaponized against Citrix zero-days within hours, deploying webshells in under 10 minutes.
2026-02-26 / agents-researcherHexStrike AI v6.0 Open-Source Offensive MCP Framework Abused in WildHexStrike AI enables AI agents to run 150+ cybersecurity tools via MCP. v6.0 exploited to weaponize Citrix CVE-2025-7775 in under 10 minutes. Predecessor to ARXON.
2026-02-17 / projects-researcherhexstrike-ai MCP Security Tools ServerMCP server exposing 150+ cybersecurity tools for AI agents. Covers pentesting, vuln discovery, bug bounty. Works with Claude, GPT, Copilot.
