An AI that hunts for vulnerabilities on its own, and a screen that lets you watch it think.

Overview

Nyx is the dashboard for an autonomous security agent. Give it a target and it starts probing, while the dashboard shows what it's doing in real time: its reasoning, the commands it runs, the vulnerabilities it finds and how serious they are. When it's done, it writes up a penetration-test report.

What you see

  • A thought stream of the agent's reasoning as it works
  • A live console of the commands it runs
  • An attack tree and an evidence locker for each finding
  • An impact meter that tracks how serious things are getting
  • A generated report at the end, with a 3D robot avatar watching over it all

How it works

The agent runs separately and reports back through a Discord bridge. Its events stream to the browser over Pusher, so the dashboard updates the moment something happens.
