Strix is an open-source AI agent framework designed for dynamic security testing and vulnerability exploitation, targeting developers and security teams. It aims to provide automated, real-world validation of security flaws, reducing false positives and integrating seamlessly into development workflows with automated remediation capabilities.

How It Works

Strix employs autonomous AI agents that mimic hacker methodologies, executing code, identifying vulnerabilities, and validating them through exploitation. It utilizes a distributed workflow with specialized agents for different attack vectors and assets, enabling scalable and parallel testing. The architecture includes a full HTTP proxy, browser automation, terminal environments, and a Python runtime for custom exploit development, all coordinated dynamically.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pipx install strix-agent
• Configure AI provider: export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5" and export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
• Run assessment: strix --target ./app-directory
• Prerequisites: OpenAI API key (or other supported LLM provider), Docker for container isolation.
• Documentation: Vercel AI Accelerator 2025
