Autonomous Security Agents: The Raptor Framework

RAPTOR (Recursive Autonomous Penetration Testing and Observation Robot) utilizes a recursive approach to explore and exploit systems.

Core Components#

Observation Module#

• Uses tools like nmap, ffuf, or custom scripts to gather initial data.
• Feeds this data into the agent's context.

Analysis Engine (The "Brain")#

• Powered by a high-reasoning model (e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o).
• Analyzes observations to identify potential weaknesses.
• Formulates hypotheses (e.g., "This input field might be vulnerable to SQLi").

Action Module#

• Generates specific payloads or scripts to test the hypothesis.
• Executes the test and captures the output.

Recursive Loop#

• If a test reveals new information (e.g., a new directory or error message), the agent recurses, treating this new state as a starting point for further exploration.
