In plain words

Astra Autonomous Pentest is an AI-powered security platform that automatically discovers vulnerabilities in software, validates findings to minimize false positives, and generates fixes compatible with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code. Built on eight years of real-world penetration testing data, it deploys AI agents to identify complex chained vulnerabilities and deliver remediation directly to developers' tools. It is designed for development teams seeking continuous security testing without manual intervention.

From the sources

Astra Autonomous Pentesting makes self-healing software the new standard, a category we’re defining after 8 years and 5,000+ real-world pentests. An army of offensive pentesters and bounty hunter agents that discovers complex chained vulnerabilities, an independent validator layer drives false positives to near-zero, and AI-fix agents deliver remediation as native Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code prompts. The reactive pentest era is over.

Pentest every deployment with Astra's autonomous penetration testing platform, which delivers verified findings in hours. Human-validated. Compliance-ready.

An army of AI agents built on patterns from 10M+ vulnerabilities that map your app, create threat models, & uncover contextual security flaws. Verified vulnerabilities are Critical , up from 1 in 40 last year. Critical findings are no longer the exception. They're the new normal. Hackers chain novel vectors globally within seconds of a new path appearing. Your scanner sees individual flaws. They see the door. Astra sees the whole house.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
