OpenHack: Open-source AI-powered vulnerability research

Key Points:

• OpenHack is an open-source project developed by Hadrian that utilizes AI-driven coding harnesses for automated vulnerability research.
• The tool aims to enhance the efficiency of identifying critical vulnerabilities across various application code surfaces, aligning with OWASP Top 10:2025 categories and other common weaknesses.
• Security teams are encouraged to adopt OpenHack for vulnerability discovery without relying solely on traditional tools.

Technical Details: OpenHack operates through a state machine model that manages the workflow of vulnerability research, allowing human operators to oversee each phase of the process. It integrates with coding harnesses like Claude Code and Codex, leveraging agents for reconnaissance and scenario validation.
