Astra Autonomous Pentest

The remediation-as-Cursor/Copilot/Claude Code prompts angle is interesting. The part I’d want to see in practice is how the validator keeps a clear audit trail from finding → exploit proof → suggested patch, because that handoff is where security workflows usually get messy.

Hey everyone 👋I'm Shelton. I lead marketing at Astra, but I'll skip the pitch and share what actually made this click for me.Most automated scanners run off a static checklist. They catch the obvious stuff and miss anything that needs context. Astra Autonomous Pentesting builds a threat model from your real application first, then the AI agents target vulnerabilities that only surface when several steps chain together: multi-step attack chains, IDOR, broken access control, business logic flaws, and the full OWASP Top 10. The kind of issues you'd only catch when a human pentester spends a week with your app.Two details I think matter more than any headline number:Every finding gets vetted by our security team before it lands on your dashboard, so you're not digging through false positives.It runs safely in staging or production with rate limits and controlled attack patterns, no destructive actions, and you set the scope and intensity yourself.Shikhil already covered the bigger picture, so I'll leave it there. If you've used autonomous or continuous testing before, I'd like to know what it got right for you and where it fell short. And if you think we've missed something, say so.Thanks for taking a look 🙏

Hi Product Hunt 👋Thank you all the great questions and interest that you folks are showing on our new product. After months of hard-work, we're super excited to finally see this out in the world!Looking forward to see it in action on all of your applications. Helping you scale, while staying secure!

Congrats on the launch. This looks really promising. Although you don't currently do auto-remediation, are there plans in the future for that kind of capability?Does it focus on known vulnerability types or does it also look for new patterns?

all the best team

What if I’m a developer and need to quickly audit a client’s website just by providing the site URL? Is that possible? Does it generate a report after the audit? That would be very helpful for selling my services.

Congrats! @shikhilsharma

Congrats on the launch! The idea of AI agents autonomously discovering, validating, and even suggesting fixes for vulnerabilities is impressive. Excited to see how this shapes the future of pentesting.

Super excited to launch Autonomous Pentest today 🚀, we've set up a 50% discount for the Product Hunt community. Just head over to the link and use the code at checkout. Would love to hear what you think 🙂 The offer is available for a limited time. Experience the future of security testing today. 🚀

Hey team! What's the integration story with GitHub Actions / GitLab CI? Would love to trigger a scan on every PR merge.

Love the validation layer approach. How do you keep AI fixes safe in high-sensitivity environments—do you require human approval or enforce policy constraints before any remediation prompt gets applied?

Congrats on another launch! Was wondering... discovering and validating is one thing, but you're actually chaining auth bypasses and privilege escalation against a live target to prove impact. That's a real agent taking real destructive actions. What happens the first time it escalates into something it can't cleanly roll back, mid-run on someone's prod?

Congrats on the launch, liked the steps to reproduce and suggested fix approach too

Congrats on the launch! Secure web apps is what we need today.Does your project work with source code only? (to my understanding, in the CI pipeline) Can it also analyze, for example, minified or obfuscated client code on a live or sandboxed website?

Congrats on your launch!
