Baselines Before Architecture: Evaluating Coding Agents for Autonomous Penetration Testing

Recent autonomous penetration testing papers report high benchmark scores while adding multi-component security harnesses around frontier LLMs. Because these systems often change both architecture and backbone model, it is difficult to tell how much performance comes from the harness rather than...

Red-MIRROR: Agentic LLM-Based Autonomous Penetration Testing with Reflective Verification and Knowledge-Augmented Interaction

Web applications remain the dominant attack surface in cybersecurity, where vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and business logic flaws continue to cause significant data breaches. While penetration testing is effective for identifying these weaknesses, traditional manual approaches are...
