@gelorria@spacexai We built Shannon as a tool for human pentesters. It handles exploit-verified testing so experts can spend their time on the more complex chained-attack work.
@txbrraa@spacexai That part is on Grok’s side: its guardrails work with pentesting out of the box. If you’d rather use Anthropic or OpenAI, complete their verification and Shannon runs on those too.
@n0tisma@spacexai Yes. There’s an official GitHub Action and a GitLab CI component. It can gate releases on proven Critical and High findings. One note: CI uses an xAI API key rather than the subscription.
6/ So if you already subscribe to Grok:
You may already have most of what you need for an on-demand AI pentester.
Shannon is open source:

Grok + Shannon is a pretty powerful combination.
1/ Your @xai Grok subscription is now basically an on-demand AI hacker.
Pair it with Shannon and you can pentest your applications whenever you want, using the subscription you already pay for.
No separate API bill. No extra token spend.
And it works surprisingly well.
5/ Grok has become one of the easiest ways to get Shannon running quickly.
Its guardrails are generally compatible with legitimate pentesting workflows, and you can get started without going through an additional lengthy approval process.
Install Shannon.
Connect Grok.
Point it at your app.
Go.
