DarkMoon: Autonomous AI-Driven Penetration Testing Framework
DarkMoon is an open-source, agentic reasoning-based penetration testing platform designed to automate sophisticated security validation across diverse infrastructures. Unlike traditional passive scanners, DarkMoon utilizes an AI-driven decision engine to perform active exploit execution and autonomous attack planning. The tool provides comprehensive coverage for web applications, cloud environments, Kubernetes clusters, and Active Directory domains. By bridging the gap between automated scanning and manual expert-led exploitation, it enables continuous, scalable, and reproducible security testing, significantly reducing the time-to-detection and the resource overhead associated with traditional manual engagement cycles in ephemeral or complex modern environments.
