ARTEX: autonomous penetration testing driven by LLM agents

ARTEX is an open source AI autonomous penetration testing system with a Go backend and a Next.js frontend. It is maintained as a public fork of the original ARTEX project by Autumn-27, with the Chinese-language source translated to English and released under AGPL-3.0. Straight disclosure: I have not run it personally. This is a read of the repository's own documentation.

What it does

The workflow is task-based. You define a task, the agent plans and executes sessions, and the UI logs tool calls per session. Around that core sit:
• An exploration graph showing how the agent moved through the target
• Findings and assets repositories
• An asset coverage graph with force-directed layout, tested nodes highlighted, collapse/expand per node
• Traffic recording, human-in-the-loop chat, agent management, and per-agent LLM configuration
• A dashboard with token usage and an activity stream

Human approval, not just autopilot

The interception approvals feature is the part worth attention. There are global approval records, in-task approval cards, and approval cards inside conversations, all expandable to full details. The detail view borrows the structure of the AegisHook approval details component. In practice this means agent actions can be gated behind explicit human confirmation instead of running blind.

Traffic capture extension

A bundled browser extension (Chrome/Edge, loaded unpacked) turns your own browsing into agent-visible evidence. You log into an authenticated target once, including captcha, email OTP, and 2FA, press Start capture on the tab, and then use the site normally. Text requests and responses are batched to POST /api/traffic/ingest, authenticated. Binary bodies (images, fonts) are skipped, bodies truncate at 256 KiB, and batches cap at 50 entries. Everything lands in the local traffic store, searchable and bindable to findings. This addresses the classic blocker for headless agents: they rarely survive captcha and 2FA.

Asset sync

Asset data syncs directly from ScopeSentry, per project or per task: domains, subdomains, IPs, ports, sites, and endpoints. Imports merge by company asset scope and flow into the asset graph for the agent to explore. That avoids duplicate collection if ScopeSentry already covers your footprint.

Implementation and setup

PostgreSQL is required. Exploration requires an LLM key, Anthropic or OpenAI, configurable in the UI. The install script offers an all-Docker path (docker compose up -d --build) or a local build of a single embedded Go binary. The web UI runs at localhost:8787 with first-time admin setup through /setup, using a one-time token printed in backend logs.

Use cases
• Pentest teams that want a self-hosted agent with approval gates and audit trails
• Authenticated-app testing where headless automation fails at 2FA
• Scoping runs fed by an existing ScopeSentry deployment

Limitations

No published success metrics against real targets, and autonomous test quality will depend heavily on the model, prompts, and task framing. The repo documents an approval mechanism but not how reliably the agent avoids destructive actions outside it. AGPL-3.0 has compatibility implications if you embed this into internal tooling. And the obvious one: an autonomous agent pointed at real infrastructure belongs inside written authorization and a tight scope. Validate in a lab before pointing it at production.

When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.

From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.

It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).

The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.

It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.

xcodestats 1.0 is out! It's a command-line tool, written in Rust, that counts the code, comment, blank, and shebang lines in a codebase by language. My last post about it was for version 0.7.0, so there's a lot that's changed since then.

My goal for 1.0 was to make Codestats the fastest and most accurate code counter around. I've successfully done this, with numbers to proove it.

Speed, with every tool counting the same files on Linux:

• cpython: 18 ms. mezura takes 24, scc 51, and tokei 107.
• The Linux kernel, 63,738 files: 217 ms. mezura takes 238, scc 626, and tokei 1,106.

What's new since 0.7.0:

• cs diff compares line counts by language between git revisions.
• Code embedded in other languages is counted by its own language's rules: script and style elements in HTML, Vue, Svelte, and Astro, code blocks in Markdown, HTML in PHP, and more.
• Comment markers inside strings are ignored, Python docstrings count as comments, and heredocs, raw strings, and interpolated strings are read correctly.
• Generated files are detected by their headers and skipped by default.
• Linguist attributes in .gitattributes are respected.
• --git counts only the files git tracks.
• You can count several paths together, or read paths from standard input, as in git ls-files -z | cs -
• --ext counts only the extensions you ask for.
• It recognizes more than 560 languages, and detection is much better for extensions that several languages share, such as .h and .m.
• Starting with 1.0, JSON fields, CSV and TSV columns, and config file keys only change in a new major version.

Prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are on GitHub, each for x86-64 and ARM64. You can also run cargo install codestats, but the prebuilt binaries are faster because they use profile-guided optimization.

🔍 ScanRuler: Professional 3D Metrology, Directly in Your Browser

An interesting open-source project from CNC Kitchen that brings powerful 3D inspection and measurement capabilities directly to your browser, without installing specialized desktop software.

What makes it interesting?

* 3D Metrology: Fit spheres, cylinders, and planes to scanned geometry and perform precise distance and angle measurements.
* CAD Deviation Analysis: Compare 3D scans against nominal CAD models and visualize dimensional deviations using color maps.
* GD&T Validation: Evaluate geometric tolerances, including flatness, parallelism, and coaxiality.
* Wall Thickness Analysis: Measure and visualize material thickness without requiring a reference CAD model.
* 2D Measurement: Use flatbed scans to measure edges, circles, arcs, and other geometric features.
* Privacy by Design: Everything runs locally in the browser. Your scan files never leave your computer.

What’s particularly impressive is the engineering behind it: Gaussian best-fit algorithms, ICP-based alignment, outlier rejection, and STEP geometry support.

The project demonstrates how modern browser technologies can deliver capabilities traditionally associated with expensive, specialized engineering software.

My takeaway: This is a great example of bringing advanced computational geometry and industrial metrology to the web while keeping user data local.

Mir platzt der Arsch, wenn ich noch EIN Mal höre, man könne mit US-Konzernen IT-Souveränität für Deutschland herstellen. Hallo?! US CLOUD Act! US-Firmen müssen Daten auf Anordnung an US-Behörden herausgeben – egal, ob der Server in Frankfurt, Berlin oder auf dem Mond steht. Ein deutsches Rechenzentrum mit US-Mutterkonzern ist keine Souveränität, sondern Etikettenschwindel mit Deutschlandflagge drauf. Wer so einen Stuss erzählt, gehört zum Nachsitzen in die Schule, aber sicher nicht ins Ministerium oder ins Parlament. Souveränität heißt: eigene Anbieter, eigene Kontrolle, eigene Regeln.

You will soon be able to self host Columnly, and expand it freely (under the AGPL-3.0 license)!

I'm looking forward to getting translation contributions, help with RTL support, and further improving accessibility (we do support WCAG and accessibility friendly layouts, themes and support).

It's a Nuxt app with typescript, tailwind and tanstack!

A shout-out to the developers behind https://columnly.social! especially @dansup ❤️
It’s great to see people building and contributing to the Fediverse. Every independent project adds to the diversity of our social web and reminds us that the internet can be shaped by communities, creativity, and collaboration; not just big corporations.
Thank you to everyone who puts their time and skills into building a more open social web. Your work matters!
