I Built an AI-Powered Penetration Testing Service — And It's Free During Beta

The Problem

Most businesses know they should do penetration testing, but they don't — because it's expensive ($5,000–$50,000 per engagement), slow (weeks of waiting), and hard to find trusted testers.

I wanted to change that.

The Solution: The Insider X

The Insider X is an AI-powered penetration testing service that combines Claude AI as the "brain" with professional-grade security tools as the "arms."

Here's how it works:

1. Submit Your Domain

You enter your domain on the platform. No lengthy contracts or scoping calls.

2. Verify Ownership (DNS TXT Record)

To prove you own the domain, you add a simple DNS TXT record. This prevents unauthorized testing — we only test what you own.

3. AI-Driven Testing

Once verified, the AI agent autonomously performs:

  • Reconnaissance — Port scanning, service enumeration, technology fingerprinting
  • Vulnerability Analysis — CVE matching, misconfigurations, OWASP Top 10
  • Web Application Testing — SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, authentication bypass
  • SSL/TLS Analysis — Certificate validation, cipher suite review
  • Reporting — Full PDF report with findings, risk ratings, and remediation guidance

4. Get Your Report

A comprehensive penetration test report delivered to your email with:

  • Executive summary
  • Technical findings with evidence
  • Risk ratings (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
  • Step-by-step remediation guidance

The Tech Stack

The testing engine uses 77 tools across 15 modules:

Category Tools
Recon nmap, rustscan, whatweb, DNS enumeration
Scanning nuclei, nikto, gobuster, testssl
Web Testing sqlmap, ffuf, wfuzz, feroxbuster
OSINT subfinder, httpx, amass, whois
Exploitation 8 smart exploit modules with WAF bypass
Reporting Automated PDF generation

The AI orchestrates these tools intelligently — it doesn't just run everything blindly. It adapts based on what it finds, just like a human pentester would.

Why Free?

I'm offering free penetration testing during the beta period because:

  1. Building a portfolio — I need real-world case studies to demonstrate the platform's capabilities
  2. Improving the AI — Every test helps the AI learn new patterns and techniques
  3. Getting feedback — Early users help shape the product

In exchange, I ask for:

  • Permission to use anonymized findings as case studies
  • A short review/testimonial after receiving your report
  • Referrals if you find it valuable

No credit card required. No contracts. Just verify your domain and get a full penetration test report.

The beta is limited — once we have enough case studies, standard pricing kicks in.
