Show HN: BlacksmithAI – AI‑Assisted Penetration Testing Framework (Beta, Free)

https://bs.kahanlabs.com
1•yohannesgk•1h ago
Hi HN, I’m the developer behind BlacksmithAI - an OPEN-SOURCE automated security testing platform.

I started this project because security testing felt fragmented and slow. Running scanners, checking reports, and trying to piece together the results was tedious — even for experienced engineers. I wondered: what if AI could orchestrate the whole process, handle repetitive tasks, and guide you through what matters most?

BlacksmithAI is our answer. It’s like having a small team of AI “security assistants” that can:

* Map a site or network automatically * Scan for common vulnerabilities * Suggest what’s risky and what isn’t * Run simple proofs‑of‑concept to see real impact

You don’t need to be a pentester to explore it — it’s designed to be approachable, with a web interface you can try in minutes. It’s still in beta, and completely free, but already helps security testers, developers, students, and security enthusiasts get quick insights without juggling ten tools at once.

We’d love feedback on:

* Usability for non‑experts * Accuracy of findings * Any rough edges or confusing parts * Source code available if you want to self‑host.

Happy to dive into how it works under the hood if people are curious. Thanks for checking it out!
