AI-assisted web application security testing

Argus

A DAST, proxy, and AI workbench for security teams that need authenticated coverage, readable traffic, reproducible AI tasks, HTTP comparison, and findings backed by evidence.

Built for security professionals

AI that works from the evidence, not beside it.

Argus turns traffic, findings, notes, cookies, scope, request bodies, response bodies, and comparison data into reproducible AI tasks. The result is faster triage without losing the proof trail.

Traffic

Professional HTTP history with Argus context.

Filter, inspect, highlight, replay, and analyze captured traffic without leaving the workbench.

Scanner

Authenticated DAST with visible scan state.

Queue scans, confirm login status, watch events, and review findings with coverage context.

Repeater

Manual replay with an AI agent beside it.

Send requests from traffic or findings, edit them, rerun them, and ask AI to analyze the exact request, response, notes, cookies, and scope.

Dashboard

Operational visibility without the noise.

See scan posture, finding trends, top recurring issues, and quick launch controls in one clean work surface.

Intruder

Focused fuzzing for the exact surface you care about.

Seed requests from traffic, sitemap, or repeater, fuzz parameters with controlled payloads, and pivot the interesting hits back into manual replay.

01

Authenticated crawling

Configure form, multi-step form, cookie, and header auth at the target level. Argus records whether login succeeded before trusting authenticated results.

02

Traffic-first workflow

Capture browser and scanner traffic, filter by host, method, risk, and content type, then send requests directly to Repeater for manual validation.

03

Evidence-weighted findings

Findings are calibrated against baseline responses, block pages, deletion cookies, and generic client-side markers to reduce noisy false positives.

04

Reproducible AI tasks

Every AI run stores selected context, loaded exchange IDs, model output, follow-up steps, and linked findings so the analysis can be reviewed later.

05

Controlled scan budgets

Limit pages, depth, concurrency, URL signatures, and static assets so large targets produce usable coverage instead of infinite crawl noise.

06

Comparer built in

Diff requests, responses, headers, and bodies side by side to prove behavioral changes, isolate noise, and document exactly what changed.

AI workflows

Not chat next to a scanner. AI wired into the test.

Explore with AI

Turn a finding into a controlled follow-up task.

Use AI to propose validation checks, compare baselines, explain false-positive cautions, and decide whether a finding should be confirmed, downgraded, or kept pending.

AI verdicts

Verifier output stays attached to the proof.

Findings can carry AI verdicts with severity, confidence, evidence assessment, validation notes, reportability, and remediation guidance.

Your OpenAI key

Choose the model. Control the spend.

Bring your own OpenAI API key so your team decides which models to use, keeps usage tied to your account, and avoids hidden AI markups.

Report drafting

Draft reports from proof artifacts instead of memory.

Argus has the request, response, affected URLs, extracted data, steps, and AI triage context available when it is time to write a professional finding.

Workflow

From target setup to validated report.

1

Define scope

Add authorized targets, auth details, scan intensity, crawl budgets, and proxy behavior.

2

Capture reality

Use the proxied browser and traffic history to observe the app as users and scanners see it.

3

Scan with control

Run active checks with concurrency, jitter, WAF awareness, and deduplication tuned per target.

4

Triage and prove

Inspect requests, replay variants, review AI analysis, and promote only evidence-backed findings.

Comparer

Show what changed, line by line.

Security testing often comes down to proving that two responses are meaningfully different. Argus Comparer gives you a focused side-by-side diff for requests, responses, headers, and bodies.

  • Compare saved exchanges from proxy, scanner, or repeater
  • Separate status/header noise from real body changes
  • Copy either side into reports or follow-up tests
  • Use diffs to support IDOR, auth, cache, and validation findings

Coverage with accountability

No more mystery scans.

Argus records crawl and scan limits, skipped URL reason codes, block-page observations, deduplicated signatures, and whether a report is complete or partial.

  • Max pages, depth, runtime, concurrency, and query variants
  • Same-host, subdomain, and static asset controls
  • Skipped reasons preserved for report transparency
  • WAF and block page awareness during validation

Reporting

Findings that a human can defend.

SQL injection via email

Differential login behavior indicates authentication bypass through a crafted email parameter. Evidence includes baseline, payload, response comparison, and replayable request data.

Why it matters

Less noise. More explainable proof.

Evidence-aware triage

AI and scanner logic can downgrade public object access, block pages, deletion cookies, and unchanged SSRF probes instead of inflating noise.

Manual control

Repeater, traffic history, and comparer keep professionals in control when a finding needs proof rather than blind automation.

Reproducible AI

AI tasks store their inputs, outputs, and linked findings so every recommendation can be traced back to the evidence.
