Snipe launches a swarm of specialized AI agents to continuously hunt vulnerabilities, auto-patch code, and verify fixes in your web applications and APIs. Optionally, add Stingrai's human penetration testers to work alongside Snipe throughout the engagement.
Traditional cyber risks haven't disappeared, they've evolved: skilled attackers now augment with AI, automating reconnaissance and weaponizing exploits at machine speed. Snipe tests your web applications the same way, at machine speed and with full coverage. On Hybrid engagements, Stingrai's human penetration testers also validate every finding and take novel bugs further.
In 2018, a disclosed vulnerability took two years to see in-the-wild exploitation. Today the median window is under a day, and new flaws are often weaponized before teams can triage them.

Source: CrowdStrikeSnipe is Stingrai’s autonomous penetration testing agent for web applications and APIs. It identifies complex vulnerabilities, including insecure direct object references (IDOR), business logic flaws and broken access control across user roles.
Test the running application with black-box testing, or add source code access for white-box analysis. Findings include proof-of-concept evidence. With repository access, Snipe can generate AutoFix pull requests and check code changes before merge.
Manage testing, findings and remediation through Stingrai’s PTaaS platform. Choose an Autonomous assessment or a Hybrid engagement with penetration testers working alongside Snipe. Both are available as one-time assessments or 12-month continuous programs.
Watch a swarm of specialized agents run reconnaissance, chain exploits, and verify every finding with evidence.

Snipe coordinates agents across authentication, access control, business logic and injection testing to identify vulnerabilities and assess their combined impact.
Start a Pentest
With repository access, AutoFix proposes code changes for confirmed vulnerabilities. Pull request checks help your team identify security issues before deployment.
Start a Pentest
On Hybrid engagements, penetration testers work alongside Snipe throughout the assessment, validating findings and investigating additional attack paths. Results are reviewed by the team lead and engagement partner.
Start a PentestA clear workflow from initial scoping to verified fixes, managed through the Stingrai PTaaS platform.
Confirm the scope and sign the statement of work. Provide the application URL and test accounts for each user role, plus repository access for white-box testing.
Snipe maps pages, API endpoints, parameters, user roles and application workflows. With repository access, it also reviews source code and traces data flows.
Specialized agents test authentication, access control, business logic and injection vulnerabilities in parallel, assessing attack paths and the impact of combined weaknesses.
Findings include proof-of-concept evidence, severity ratings and remediation guidance. On Hybrid engagements, penetration testers work alongside Snipe to validate findings and investigate additional attack paths.
With repository access, Snipe proposes AutoFix pull requests for confirmed vulnerabilities. Automated retests verify fixes, while continuous plans support ongoing testing and pull request checks.
Receive a penetration test report and attestation letter for customers and auditors, with evidence to support your compliance program.
Coverage spans the OWASP Top 10 and complex vulnerabilities in application logic, identity and access control.
Access control weaknesses that allow users or tenants to access records, files or functions outside their permissions.
Workflow vulnerabilities, including missing validation, repeatable transactions and server-side decisions that rely on client-controlled data.
SQL injection, remote code execution and related injection vulnerabilities, validated with proof-of-concept evidence.
Weaknesses in login, session management and privileged actions, assessed with test accounts across user roles.
Application APIs assessed for authorization, access control and business logic vulnerabilities across endpoints and user roles.
Server-side request handling that could expose internal services, administrative interfaces or cloud metadata.
