Agentic API-First Red Teaming at Machine Speed

"Ares is an agentic AI platform that continuously discovers and exploits real vulnerabilities across your APIs, mobile, and web apps — thinking like a human hacker, operating at machine scale. Replace manual penetration tests with always-on, live-fire offensive security that validates exposures through actual exploitation, shrinking response windows from weeks to minutes with full auditability and enterprise-safe control."

What Ares Tests Across Your APIs

What Ares Tests Across Your APIs

Every vulnerability class in the OWASP API Security Top 10 — discovered, exploited, and validated through real attack paths.

Measurable Security Returns

Ares is built to pay for itself—every day you log in. Instead of waiting weeks for a traditional, human-speed penetration test, Ares continuously runs live-fire offensive security across your APIs and mobile apps, validating real exploit paths as your environment changes. This page shows the business impact in plain terms: hours of manual testing eliminated, dollars avoided, and exposure windows reduced—all backed by auditable evidence and automatically generated remediation outputs.

API Red Teaming Without Blind Spots

Ares supports unauthenticated and credentialed API penetration testing using real authentication methods—Bearer tokens, API keys, and user credentials—across public and internal environments. With a lightweight on-prem Docker agent, Ares gains secure access to private networks, exposing internal APIs and attack paths that traditional pentests miss or ignore. No artificial constraints. No visibility gaps. Just continuous, adversary-accurate API testing at scale.

Exploit-Proven Findings, Not Scanner Output

Ares delivers exploit-validated API security reports with complete OWASP API Top 10 coverage, immersive visual attack maps, and full request/response proof for every finding. No false positives. No guesswork. Findings flow directly into Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or email—giving developers everything they need to fix real vulnerabilities fast.

Find Every API—Even the Ones You Didn’t Know Existed

Ares hunts your external and internal environments to uncover every API—documented or not—and automatically registers them as live testing targets. The result is a continuously updated API inventory tied to data sensitivity, compliance exposure, and active security validation, without manual discovery or maintenance.

Built to Breach

What used to take a quarterly engagement now happens between commits.

Full coverage of the OWASP API Security Top 10 — from broken object level authorization to server-side request forgery — with validated proof of exploitation.

APIs

Ares doesn't stop at a finding. It strings vulnerabilities together the way a real adversary does — chaining a BOLA flaw into credential theft, then into lateral movement. You see the full kill chain, with every request, response, and pivot, as it would have played out in a breach.

APIs

A human pentester averages two to three vulnerabilities confirmed per day. Ares runs thousands of exploit paths in parallel across your entire API surface in the time it takes to finish a status meeting. Dwell time between push and proof-of-exploit collapses from a quarterly engagement window to a single build cycle.

Version 1 Dagger, Ares's 14-billion-parameter offensive security model, was trained on real exploit chains — not CVE summaries or scanner outputs. It reasons about business logic, authentication flows, and object relationships the way an attacker does, then proves its hypothesis by executing the attack end-to-end.

Find Some quick answers to the most common questions.

Does Ares cover the full OWASP API Security Top 10?

Yes. Ares validates all 10 categories of the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) through active exploitation — not passive scanning. This includes broken object-level authorization, broken authentication, unrestricted resource consumption, broken function-level authorization, server-side request forgery, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, lack of protection from automated threats, improper inventory management, and unsafe consumption of APIs.

Is Ares actually exploiting my APIs or just scanning them?

Will Ares break my production environment?

How does Ares find APIs that aren't documented?

How is this different from a traditional penetration test?

What kind of evidence does Ares provide for each finding?

Can Ares test authenticated API flows?

Does Ares test GraphQL and REST APIs?

The Kill Chain, Automated

Ares doesn't run a checklist. She thinks like an attacker chaining reconnaissance, exploitation and validation into a single autonomous flow that mirrors how real adversaries breach your systems.

Mission Intake & Planning

Every engagement begins with Polemos, Ares' mission commander. She receives the target, scopes the rules of engagement, and decomposes the operation into a multi-phase battle plan — assigning the right specialist agents to each phase before a single packet is sent.

Reconnaissance

Hermes — Ares' reconnaissance agent — sprints across the attack surface to map it before the assault begins. She fingerprints the stack, parses OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas, discovers shadow and undocumented endpoints, and even captures auth tokens that downstream agents will reuse to attack as a logged-in user.

CVE & Vulnerability Correlation

Athena turns reconnaissance into intelligence. She correlates every fingerprinted component against known CVEs, deduplicates noise, and hands the exploit agents a precision target package — so when Ares attacks, she attacks with true efficacy

API Exploitation: OWASP API Top 10 (2023)

Kratos is Ares' API enforcer. He drives every OWASP API Top 10:2023 attack — BOLA, broken auth, mass assignment, BFLA, SSRF, business-flow abuse, and a dozen specialist modules from GraphQL introspection to race conditions — and returns reproducible proof for every breach.

Web App Exploitation (Hybrid Targets)

For APIs fronted by a web UI, Enyo joins the fight. She pressure-tests forms, sessions, and the browser-side trust boundary using the OWASP Web Top 10:2025 — catching the XSS, CSRF, and SSO weaknesses that pure-API scanners miss.

Red-Team Attacker

Pallas is Ares' adversarial mind. Where signature scanners stop, she begins — reasoning about your unique business logic, chaining custom payloads, and proving breach scenarios that no off-the-shelf scanner could imagine.

Autonomous Attack-Chain Reasoning

Real breaches are never one bug — they're a chain. Nemesis stitches Ares' findings into end-to-end attack chains, carrying session state from step to step until she proves how a low-severity leak becomes a full account takeover.

Finding Validation

Every finding faces Themis, Ares' judge. She independently re-executes each proof against the live target and discards anything she can't reproduce — so your team only ever sees vulnerabilities that are real, exploitable, and ready to fix

Report Generation & Accuracy Review

Polemos closes the loop — composing the executive summary, business-impact narrative, and step-by-step remediation plan for every finding. Mnemosyne then audits the report against the raw evidence so what reaches your inbox is accurate, defensible, and ready to action.
