We're on a mission to fight the coming tsunami of AI-powered exploits. We're fighting fire with fire.
It started with a frustration. AI-generated code was shipping to production faster than anyone could review it, and the security holes were obvious — not subtle, not clever, just obvious. SQL injection in a login form. API keys hardcoded in client-side JavaScript. Admin panels with no authentication. The kind of vulnerabilities that a seasoned pentester would flag in the first five minutes, but that a solo founder pushing their first SaaS had no way of knowing about. Nobody was going to tell them. And if someone did, the fix was never cheap.
A professional penetration test runs anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000, and that's before the waiting list. You're looking at weeks of back-and-forth, a scoping document, a kickoff call, and a 60-page PDF at the end that your dev reads once and loses. Free scanners exist — Nikto, OWASP ZAP, a dozen others — but they produce walls of unactionable output, half of it noise, and they're stale the moment they're released. The threat landscape moves. The scanner doesn't. Neither option works for an indie developer who just wants to know if their app is embarrassingly broken before someone else finds out for them.
The insight that unlocked this was simple: the same frontier AI models that attackers are learning to use can be turned around and pointed at your own code first. AI that attacks is also AI that defends. We use the same reasoning models, the same prompt techniques, the same adversarial thinking — but we point it at your app before the bad actors do. We also built the Fertilizer corpus: a living vulnerability knowledge graph that ingests newly disclosed CVEs, real-world exploit patterns, and OWASP-benchmarked findings every day. The scanner gets smarter as the threat landscape evolves. We benchmarked it against OWASP Juice Shop — a deliberately vulnerable application used to test security tools — and found 9 out of 10 flags. That's not a marketing number. That's the test result.
PenTestedAI is one person and a fleet of AI agents. That's not a disclaimer — it's why the price is $9.99 instead of $9,999. We have no sales team, no enterprise sales cycle, no 30-page contracts. We ship fast, we take security seriously, and we believe that every indie developer deserves the same protection that used to cost a small company's entire security budget. This isn't a weekend project. It's the thing we work on every day.
