How it works
ReconForge runs security assessments on its own. You choose a ready-made template, point it at a target, and launch a run. From there an AI agent drives real security tools, gathers evidence as it goes, and hands back findings ranked by real-world risk, each with the proof behind it and clear steps to fix it.
The shape of an assessment
Section titled “The shape of an assessment”Three ideas carry the whole product:
- You pick a template, you do not script a test. A template is a ready-made assessment type, from a quick surface check to a deep review. You choose one instead of configuring tools by hand.
- An agent does the work, with evidence. The agent decides what to run, runs it, and records every command and its output. Nothing in a finding is a guess. It traces back to something that actually ran.
- Results are ranked by risk, not raw output. You get findings ordered by real-world impact, with remediation, ready to share with engineering or hand to an auditor.
Two phases: discovery, then confirmation
Section titled “Two phases: discovery, then confirmation”An assessment has up to two phases:
- Discovery finds your exposure and surfaces weaknesses. It produces candidate findings, which are detected but not yet proven.
- Confirmation (exploitation) safely proves which candidates are genuinely exploitable, and upgrades them to confirmed with proof-of-concept evidence. This phase is available on self-hosted deployments.
The managed cloud runs full discovery against domains you have verified you own. Self-hosted runs everything, including confirmation and internal-network testing, entirely inside your own environment. See How an assessment runs for the detail.
Why this is different
Section titled “Why this is different”A raw scanner tells you something might be wrong. A manual test proves it but takes an expert and time. ReconForge aims for both at once: the breadth of automation with the evidence of a real test, produced without you scripting each step.
- Core concepts: the words you will see everywhere.
- How an assessment runs: discovery, confirmation, and the live view.
- Roles and access: who can see and do what.
