The pentest methodology that combines artificial intelligence and human expertise. Created by HackerSec.
For years the market sold automated pentesting as if scanners were real penetration testing. Now, other platforms promise to replace pentesters with AI. Neither is real pentest. Pentest AI-First is the model where AI accelerates and human pentesters go deeper, each doing exactly what they do best.
Methodology structured in four main steps.
Scope is defined based on needs, attack surface and business objectives. Ensures Yaga and pentesters act exactly where it matters.
The AI agent performs reconnaissance, real exploitations within scope, contextual target analysis and confirmed vulnerability identification.
Every Yaga vulnerability goes through a rigorous technical validation layer. Inconsistent signals are discarded and only relevant vulnerabilities move forward.
The human pentester explores complex attack chains, evaluates business logic and investigates scenarios that require real offensive experience. Finds what AI alone wouldn't.
Yaga tests the target end to end, with reconnaissance, exploitation and evidence. The human pentester digs deeper on top of that.
Meet YagaCertified specialists who validate every Yaga vulnerability and go deeper on attack chains, business logic and complex scenarios that require human reasoning.
This pentest is run by Yaga, HackerSec's superintelligence agent with a proprietary harness, with specialist validation on every vulnerability. See Pentest Superintelligence.
