Documentation
Pentestas is an AI-driven penetration testing platform: it scans your web apps, APIs, networks, and cloud estate; synthesises multi-step attack chains with Claude; and ships verified, exploit-grounded findings instead of generic scanner noise. These docs cover every layer — from your first scan to running agents inside a corporate LAN.
Quick start
Sign up, verify your first domain, and kick off a scan in under five minutes.
Running scans
Web apps, APIs, networks, S3 / Azure / GCS buckets, Google Workspace, subdomain enumeration.
Security tools
Subdomain finder, port scanner, SSL/TLS, DNS audits, JWT, GraphQL, cloud recon — one tool at a time.
Agents
Scan on-prem services, intranet apps, and browser sessions from a tenant-scoped local agent.
Findings
Severity, validation, attack chains, and Exploit-DB matches — understand what you're looking at.
AI features
Scan modes, shared workbench tools, operator hints, attack chains, and false-positive filtering.
API reference
Programmatic access: JWT, API keys, scans, findings, webhooks.
Popular topics
- Security tools — single-purpose recon tools (subdomain finder, ports, SSL, DNS, JWT, …) with screenshots.
- Your first scan — pick a target, choose scan types, start scanning.
- Scan modes — Internal Engine vs + AI assist (hybrid) vs autonomous.
- AI workbench — Claude uses the same History / Forge / Volley / OAST tools you do.
- Operator hints — mid-scan control plane (
focus/skip/retest/workbench). - Proof status — verified vs exploit-confirmed vs version-only.
- Manual testing tools — Forge / Volley / OAST and the hands-on tabs on every scan.
- Multi-surface pivot — web → Entra/Azure recon or AWS when keys exist.
- Understanding severity — what CRITICAL means, how it differs from HIGH, and how CVSS fits in.
- Attack chains — how Pentestas links multiple findings into a single compromise path.
- Authentication — JWT, API keys, OAuth, and agent keys explained.

Start with Quick start. If you've never run a vulnerability scanner before, skim the glossary first — Pentestas assumes working familiarity with OWASP, CVSS, and the difference between a CVE and a CWE.
