We put a senior pentester
in your pipeline.
Xalgorix is an autonomous offensive-security engine that developers and security teams run like any other check. Point it at your app or repo and it works a full 22-phase methodology — recon, exploitation, validation, reporting — proving every finding with a working exploit instead of a maybe. Born inside a bug-bounty workflow, hardened into a hosted product and an open-source engine.
How we got here
- 2021
xalgo CLI, v0.1
First Go binary — six phases, no LLM, ran out of a single goroutine. Used internally on bug-bounty engagements.
- 2022
Methodology hardened
Phases expanded to 14. Exploit verification became mandatory; every finding had to carry a reproducer.
- 2023
LLM-augmented chains
Phase 21 added — a reasoning layer that proposes novel chains the static rules miss. The hit rate on logic bugs jumped 4×.
- 2024
Hosted platform
Launched www.xalgorix.com so teams without a Linux box could run the full engine in a browser tab.
- 2025
22 phases, 40+ tools
Current shape: deterministic recon + injection, LLM-driven hypothesis, exploit-verified output, branded report.
- 2026
API + CI/CD
Public REST API, signed webhooks, GitHub Action — security checks slot into the same pipeline as your tests.
What we believe
Four non-negotiables that show up in every part of the product.
Proof, not noise
Every finding ships with a request, a response, and a curl. If we can't prove it, we don't report it.
Reproducibility first
Deterministic phases run the same way every time. The LLM layer is bounded and audited — never the only voice in the room.
Operator-grade UX
Built by people who lived in tmux and Burp. Keyboard-first, dense by default, terminal aesthetic everywhere.
Safe in production
No destructive payloads. Automatic backoff. A kill-switch on every running scan. We assume your target is real traffic.
Who's behind it
Xalgorix isn't a faceless startup. It's built by a working security practitioner who ships the tool he uses himself.
Krishna Kumar
@xalgordKrishna Kumar is a web-application penetration tester and bug-bounty hunter with over 5 years in offensive security, and an active member of the open-source security community. He authored a widely-used web app pentesting & bug-bounty methodology guide that's been starred over 1,800 times on GitHub.
Xalgorix grew directly out of his own bug-bounty workflow — automating the repetitive parts of an engagement (recon, injection sweeps, evidence collection) so the hard, high-value bugs get the attention. It runs that same methodology he works by hand: OWASP Top Ten coverage, Burp-style probing, and Python/Bash tooling, only autonomously and reproducibly.
The team
A small group of long-time bug-bounty hunters, ex-AppSec engineers, and LLM researchers. We ship the tool we use ourselves on real engagements every week.
Headquartered remotely; legal entity in the EU. We hire from theopen-source community.
