 "what": "PentAGI is an open-source, self-hosted multi-agent system for autonomous penetration testing, for authorized testing only. You describe a target and goal in plain language; specialized agents plan the work, run 20+ tools such as nmap, Metasploit and sqlmap inside an isolated Docker sandbox, keep what they learn in PostgreSQL with pgvector, and produce a report. It works with 10+ cloud LLM providers or local models through Ollama or vLLM, and has REST and GraphQL APIs.",
 "why": "32k stars, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
 "language": "Go",
 "requirements": [
  "Docker and Docker Compose (an interactive installer sets it up on Linux, macOS or Windows)",
  "An LLM provider key or a local model via Ollama or vLLM",
  "Written authorization to test every target"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Security engineers, pentesters and red teams who are authorized to test the target systems and want an autonomous assistant on their own servers.",
