BlacksmithAI: An Open-Source AI-Powered Penetration Testing Framework

BlacksmithAI is an open-source penetration testing framework that leverages multiple AI agents to automate various stages of security assessments. The framework operates as a hierarchical system, where an orchestrator coordinates specialized agents, each assigned to distinct functions such as reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, and vulnerability analysis. The recon agent focuses on attack surface mapping and information gathering, while the scan and enumeration agent handles service discovery. No specific release date, version numbers, or CVE IDs were mentioned in the article. The framework is designed for offensive security workflows, particularly red team operations. The tool is available as open-source software.
