Description: Open-source pentest platform with a multi-AI agent, real-time findings stream, and PDF reports. Your data never leaves your server.


llobster (codename lobsteks) is an open-source web security scanner built for teams who want AI-assisted penetration testing without sending their data to someone else's cloud.

You point it at a target you're authorized to test. The AI agent figures out the rest.


What it does

  • Crawls your target and finds forms, parameters, and endpoints
  • Uses an AI agent to decide what to test next — XSS, SQLi, open ports, subdomains
  • Streams every finding to your browser in real time via WebSocket
  • Generates a structured PDF report when done
  • Keeps everything — scan history, findings, AI keys — on your server

Pick your AI, mix and match

Works with Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Groq, Mistral, Ollama (local/offline), OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

You can even split roles per scan — fast free Groq for orchestration, Claude for deep analysis:

@groq scan subdomains, @claude analyze SQL findings

For authorized testing only — your own systems or targets with explicit written permission.
