Case file: full-stack attack chain
Not a scanner.A pentester that never logs off.
Daemon is an AI pentest engine that logs into your application and attacks it the way a real attacker would, all day, every day. It runs on your infrastructure, across your whole stack, and confirms every finding by exploiting it. Like giving a crew of ten pentesters the run of your product, 24/7, and validating it end to end.

// What Daemon Is
A Pentester That Never Logs Off
Daemon is continuous pentesting that runs around the clock. Instead of scanning your app from the outside and guessing what might be exploitable, the engine logs in and tests it the way a real attacker would, all day, every day. Your coverage keeps up with the product instead of going stale between manual pentests. And because it works against a real, running instance with full visibility, what it reports is confirmed, not guessed.
Continuous, Not Point-in-Time
It runs 24/7, so coverage tracks your product as it ships. Not a snapshot from an engagement six months ago.
Exploits, Doesn't Guess
Every finding is proven against a real running instance with full visibility: confirmed by exploiting it end to end, not inferred from a response.
Your Whole Stack
Not just the web tier. The app, the database behind it, the identity layer like Okta and OIDC, and the cloud and services it runs on.
// How We Run It
Two Ways to Run Daemon
Either way, we build the test harnesses and stand your application up so the engine has full visibility into every data point it needs — then it runs continuously, against that instance and never your live production. You choose where it runs.
Fully Managed
We Host and Run It
We stand up and operate the whole thing for you. We'll need access to your codebase so we can build out the underlying infrastructure your application needs to run, deploy the engine against it, and keep it testing around the clock. Zero lift for your team.
Self-Hosted
You Run It in Your Environment
Prefer to keep everything inside your own perimeter? We deploy the engine and harnesses into your environment and you run it there. Your code and your data never leave your infrastructure.
It tests a real, running instance. Findings are confirmed, not guessed.
// Your Application, End to End
It Tests Your Whole Stack
Daemon tests your application, not just your web tier. Every layer an attacker could actually chain through:
Web Apps & APIs
Authenticated routes, parameters, and API surface, driven as real logged-in users across roles.
Databases
The data layer behind the app, where injection and broken access control actually pay off: dumped, mutated, or turned into code execution.
Identity & SSO
Okta, OIDC, SSO, sessions, and RBAC: the auth flows and role boundaries that gate everything else.
Cloud & Infrastructure
The cloud and infrastructure it runs on: roles, secrets, and services that become reachable once there's a foothold.
Services & Binaries
What's actually running on the pod: the services and binaries, not just the HTTP surface in front of them.
Service-to-Service
Trust between your own services and components, where one part of the app over-trusts another, a path an outside scanner never reaches.
// What It Finds
The Full Range of OWASP Risks
It hunts real, exploitable vulnerabilities across the OWASP range, and proves each one by exploiting it. These are the bugs your scanners flag and abandon, or miss entirely.
Injection (incl. SQLi)
It confirms SQL and other injection by exploiting it: reading or mutating the data behind the app, not pattern-matching a payload.
Broken Access Control / IDOR
Holding a real role, it tests what that role can actually reach and proves unauthorized access by watching the data leave.
Authentication & Identity
Session, token, SSO, and OIDC weaknesses, exercised against the real identity layer instead of a checklist.
Remote Code Execution
It turns the right bug (an injection, a deserialization flaw, a database primitive like COPY … TO PROGRAM) into a shell on the host, and proves it.
Privilege Escalation & Tenancy
It chains low-privilege access toward admin and across tenants, confirming each step against the database and audit trail.
Business-Logic Abuse
Multi-step workflows replayed out of order and across roles, surfacing the trust and sequencing flaws scanners can't model.
// Integrations
It Lands Where Your Team Already Works
Daemon doesn't drop findings into another dashboard no one checks. The moment it confirms something, it pushes straight into the tools your team already lives in.
On new findingSlack
When Daemon finds a new vulnerability, it posts to the channel your team already watches — severity, target, and a link to the proof.
On new findingMicrosoft Teams
Same real-time alerts for teams that live in Microsoft Teams: confirmed findings delivered straight to your channel.
After verificationJira
After Daemon verifies a vulnerability by exploiting it, it opens a Jira ticket pre-filled with reproduction steps and evidence, so remediation starts in your existing workflow.
// Where It Fits
Find What Your Scanners Miss
Built for CTOs and security engineering leaders who want the vulnerabilities their scanners and point-in-time pentests are missing. It's not SAST. It's not DAST. It's like giving a crew of ten pentesters the run of your products, 24/7, and validating them end to end.
Augment Your Pentest
Run it alongside a manual engagement. So far it has consistently found better vulnerabilities than the manual pentests it's gone up against.
Validate Your Backlog
Point it at your SAST/DAST queue and it confirms what's actually real by exploiting it end to end, then filters out the noise.
Continuous Coverage
Between pentests it keeps testing around the clock, so new code doesn't sit unexamined for months at a time.
Field note: in one engagement Daemon started from an authenticated web app and confirmed a SQL injection, then proved it out two ways: it dumped the entire database, and it turned the same injection into remote code execution on the host. Exploited end to end, not flagged and left for triage.
Finding better vulnerabilities than the manual pentests it's gone up against.
// Where It Came From
Born From Real Zero-Day Work
Daemon grew out of our own platform-security work, and the research behind our public proof-of-concept for CVE-2025-32433, a CVSS 10 RCE found with AI-accelerated testing. We built the engine to do that kind of testing continuously, against real applications.
Read the story: CVE-2025-32433 PoC// What You Get
What You Receive
No slide deck of maybes. Every line on the manifest is something concrete that lands in your hands.
Confirmed Findings
Each one with a working reproduction and the evidence that proves it.
The Engine, Your Way
The engine and harnesses running where you choose: fully managed by us, or self-hosted in your environment.
Around-the-Clock Coverage
Continuous testing that tracks your product as it changes, not a snapshot from months ago.
Full-Stack Depth
App, database, identity, cloud, and the services running underneath.
A Validated Backlog
What's real, exploited end to end, separated from the noise.
// What It Costs
Cheap Enough to Run Everywhere
The AI does the majority of the work, so Daemon costs a fraction of a traditional pentest and runs continuously instead of once a year. It's priced so you can put it on every app and environment, not just the one product you can afford to test annually.
AI Does the Heavy Lifting
Machine scale keeps the price down. You're not paying for a consultant's hours by the day; you're paying for an engine that runs around the clock.
Less Than One Annual Pentest
Continuous, year-round coverage for less than the price of a single point-in-time engagement.
Built to Scale
Cheap enough to cover your whole portfolio, every service and environment, instead of rationing testing to the crown jewels.
Pricing scopes to your stack and the environments in play. Tell us what you're running and we'll put a number on it.
