What it does

Most AI pentesting tools stop at the web layer. Darkmoon goes further. Built by professional pentesters, it combines 18 specialized AI agents and 80+ offensive security tools to assess Active Directory, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, APIs, CMSs, and networks. Self-hosted, open-source, MITRE-mapped, and designed to deliver evidence-backed findings, attack paths, and publication-ready reports.

Darkmoon is an open-source, AI-powered autonomous penetration testing platform. 33 specialized AI agents covering web, cloud, identity, CI/CD, databases and IoT firmware, 80+ integrated tools, a live dashboard and publication-ready reports.

18 AI agents, 80+ integrated tools and a live command center — Darkmoon runs the full offensive campaign and delivers validated, evidence-backed findings. Scope in, agents dispatched, exploitation proved, report out. Not a feature tour — the product running against a real target. Darkmoon reasons about your target, models the attack surface and dispatches the right agents — with full cascade control. The master agent detects 14 technology signals and routes the campaign to the right specialists — sequential or parallel, with cascade depth capped at three levels so there is never runaway recursion. Every finding, infrastructure node and agent event streams to the dashboard the instant it…from dark-moon.org

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!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
