AI Network Pentesting
AI Network Pentesting attacks your IPs, IP ranges, and domains the way an attacker would: from the internet, or from inside your network through a private location. You get the exposed services, weak configurations, and credential weaknesses that are actually reachable, each reproduced with evidence, in one assessment.
Beta
AI Network Pentesting is a separate product in beta and may change. Contact your Escape representative to enable it for your organization.
A finished assessment's Summary tab: findings by severity and the assets the run reached.
How It Works¶
- You define the scope. Paste IPv4 addresses, IPv4 CIDR ranges, IPv6 addresses, and domains, or import a CSV.
- You pick the attack vectors. Each vector is labeled Safe (it only observes) or Intrusive (it can disturb the target). Agents plan their attacks within your selection.
- Escape validates the scope. Validate Configuration checks every target from the selected location before anything is attacked.
- Escape maps the network. It resolves DNS records, scans TCP ports on every host and range, and fingerprints the services behind open ports.
- Cascade attacks. Cascade, the same multi-agent engine behind AI Pentesting, runs reconnaissance on every open port, then sends agents after each weakness your attack vectors allow.
- Every finding is reproduced. A reporter agent re-runs each candidate against the live target and attaches its own proof before an issue is filed.
You follow every step live in the Reasoning tab, and read the results in Issues and Assets. See Results.
What It Tests¶
AI Network Pentesting covers the network and service layer of your infrastructure:
- Exposed services: databases, remote administration interfaces, debug endpoints, and industrial protocols such as Modbus listening on the internet.
- Credentials: default passwords on services that authenticate, plus weak credentials and authentication bypass when you allow them.
- TLS: legacy protocols (SSLv3, TLS 1.0 and 1.1), weak ciphers, small keys, and expired, self-signed, or mismatched certificates.
- DNS: zone transfers, open resolvers, and unauthenticated dynamic updates.
- Known vulnerabilities: CVEs matching each service version, exploited with public proofs of concept when you allow it.
The full list, with what each vector does and doesn't do, is on Attack Vectors.
AI Network Pentesting, AI Pentesting, and ASM¶
| You want to | Use |
|---|---|
| Find which services an attacker reaches on your IPs and domains, with proof | AI Network Pentesting |
| Test a web app or API in depth: authentication, access control, business logic | AI Pentesting |
| Keep a continuous inventory of your exposed assets | ASM |
AI Network Pentesting doesn't sign in to your applications and doesn't test the business logic behind them. Run an AI Pentesting assessment on the web apps and APIs it finds.
Beta Limits¶
- No Active Directory testing. Escape tests the hosts and services in scope, not your directory.
- No asset discovery. Escape tests the scope you enter. It doesn't enumerate subdomains or pull assets from integrations yet.
- IPv4 ranges only. IPv6 addresses are accepted one by one. IPv6 ranges aren't.
- Range size. Ranges up to
/24(256 addresses). Wider ranges are available on request.
See Scope for every input rule.
