How It Works

From Zero to Hardened in 5 Steps

Black-box is the default. Source review is optional. Here's exactly how Hacker Bot protects your application.

01

Verify Ownership / Authorization

Before any testing begins, you must prove ownership or authorization for the target system. We support domain verification (DNS TXT record or file upload) and repository verification (for GitHub-connected workflows).

  • DNS TXT record verification
  • File-based domain verification
  • GitHub repository ownership check
  • Written authorization for third-party systems
02

Select Your Targets

Define what you want tested. This includes your web applications, API endpoints, authentication flows, and whether to test staging or production environments.

  • Web application URLs
  • API base URLs and endpoints
  • Authentication flows (optional)
  • Staging vs production selection
03

Run Attack Simulations

Our engine performs automated reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, and exploitability verification—all within safe boundaries. We test like real adversaries but with defensive intent.

  • Subdomain enumeration & asset discovery
  • Vulnerability scanning & validation
  • Exploitation attempts (safe boundaries)
  • Attack path documentation
04

Get Findings Where You Work

Findings are delivered directly to your GitHub repository as PR comments and check annotations. You also get a clean dashboard UI for triage and prioritization.

  • GitHub PR annotations
  • Failing checks on critical issues
  • Dashboard for triage
  • Evidence packs with repro steps
05

Fix, Retest, Close

Implement fixes with the remediation guidance provided. Then trigger a retest to verify the vulnerability is resolved. Keep your regression coverage growing.

  • Actionable fix guidance
  • One-click retest verification
  • Automatic regression coverage
  • Closure confirmation
