Cosine AI's ArgusRed tool performs security scans and pen tests

Cosine AI has released ArgusRed, a new command-line tool that uses a post-trained model to perform security scans and penetration tests on user-authorized systems. The tool offers two modes: a security scan that analyzes code for vulnerabilities and a pen test mode that attempts to exploit identified weaknesses. ArgusRed generates a markdown report detailing findings, severity, cause, and suggested fixes, with an option for exploit verification through Docker or live file system interaction. New users receive 2 million free tokens upon signing up. AI

IMPACT This tool could accelerate security auditing and vulnerability discovery by automating penetration testing.
