Cerberus is an offensive security platform for security professionals of all levels - from penetration testers and ethical hackers to enterprise security teams and organizations without dedicated security staff. It combines a custom programming language, a visual workspace, and AI automation into a single ecosystem that can make penetration testing 10x, 20x, or even 100x faster and more effective. Users can handle everything from reconnaissance to reporting without requiring deep technical expertise.

​
Core Components

​
Cerberus Language

A statically-typed programming language purpose-built for pentesting. Unlike general-purpose scripting, Cerberus uses an effects system that enforces scope boundaries at compile time. Code that tries to operate outside the defined assessment scope won’t execute - this isn’t just a warning, the code literally won’t run.

​
IDE for Ethical Hackers

A visual environment for attack planning and execution. Your target environment is displayed as an interactive graph where domains, IPs, services, and personnel appear as connected nodes. Instead of mentally piecing together how systems relate, you see it visually and explore the attack surface directly.

Asset Mapping

Network relationship graphs

Interactive Graph

Explore attack surface visually

Team Collaboration

Real-time collaboration

​
AI-Driven Automation (AutoPT)

An AI system that writes and executes Cerberus code based on natural language prompts. Describe what you want - something like “test all subdomains for SQL injection” - and it generates the code, runs the tests, observes results, adapts to defenses, and produces proof-of-concept evidence. It can run for hours or days without manual intervention.

​
Platform Capabilities

Automated Pentesting

AI-driven tests that run continuously, adapting to defenses

Vulnerability Management

Track findings with severity scoring, remediation status, and attack vector mapping

Asset Discovery

Map infrastructure including domains, IPs, services, tech stacks, and personnel

Defended Attacks

Record when attacks get blocked - useful for understanding what protections are working

SAST/DAST

Static and dynamic application security testing

EASM

External attack surface management

Reporting

Generate assessment reports with findings and remediation recommendations

​
How Teams Use It

A typical engagement follows this flow:
1

Define Scope

Add target domains, IPs, and services to the platform
2

Reconnaissance

Map out subdomains, open ports, running services, tech stacks, and protection mechanisms
3

Testing

Write Cerberus code manually, use AI to generate tests, or combine both approaches
4

Track Findings

Vulnerabilities flow into the tracker where they’re scored, categorized, and linked to affected assets
5

Report

Pull everything together - findings, severity ratings, remediation recommendations, and scope documentation

​
The Workspace

The platform is organized around these sections:

Dashboard

High-level view of engagement status
Manage targets and explore the asset map
All findings with filtering and search
What got blocked and by what protection
Schedule automated tests on a recurring basis
Document generation
Everything stays connected - click a vulnerability to see which asset it affects, click an asset to see its relationships, click a defended attack to understand what protection stopped it.
