Show HN: We post-trained a model that pen tests instead of refusing
A developer has released a new CLI tool called argusred that utilizes a post-trained AI model specifically designed to perform automated penetration testing. Unlike standard AI models that refuse security-sensitive tasks, this tool can identify, verify, and report vulnerabilities in codebases.
Why it matters
This represents a shift in AI development toward specialized, offensive-security models that bypass traditional safety refusals to provide actionable security testing.
Two modes in one CLI. Security Scan reads the code. Pen Test attempts the exploits against systems you authorise.
