[](https://discord.gg/strix-ai) Strix are autonomous AI penetration testing agents that act just like real hackers - they run your code dynamically, find vulnerabilities, and validate them through actual proofs-of-concept. Built for developers and security teams who need fast, accurate security testing without the overhead of manual pentesting or the false positives of static analysis tools. Key Capabilities: Prerequisites: Installed with pipx, uv, or pip? strix --update prints the matching upgrade command instead (pipx upgrade strix-agent, uv tool upgrade strix-agent, pip install --upgrade strix-agent). Strix also shows a notice with the right command when a new version is available. Try the Strix full-stack penetration testing platform at app.strix.ai - sign up for free, connect your repos and domains, and launch a pentest in minutes. Run a pentest → Get the same Strix experience with enterprise-grade controls: SSO (SAML/OIDC), custom compliance-ready penetration testing reports (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS), dedicated support and…
