Automated attackers now probe exposed systems around the clock. Your external attack surface is public. The window to find weaknesses first is shrinking.
AI Pentester
Autonomous pentesting for web apps, APIs, and internet-facing infrastructure. We identify exploitable weaknesses from the outside and deliver actionable findings in hours, not weeks.
External attack simulation
Focused on internet-facing assets you verify: domains, subdomains, APIs, and exposed services.
Findings in hours
Standard scopes run from minutes to hours, so you get signal fast instead of waiting weeks.
No internal access
The initial assessment runs from the outside. No agents, VPN access, or production credentials required.
Actionable output
You get severity-ranked findings, affected assets, evidence, remediation guidance, and a retest path.

The threat has changed. Your defenses haven't.
Your public-facing systems are being tested constantly, whether by opportunistic bots or determined attackers. That means exposed APIs, forgotten subdomains, weak auth flows, and leaked credentials get discovered faster than most teams can schedule a traditional assessment. An annual pentest is still useful, but it is no longer enough on its own.
€6M ARR SaaS startup. 43 vulnerabilities. One test.
One external assessment of a growing software company uncovered 43 vulnerabilities, including credential exposure, privilege escalation paths, and direct access to customer data.
+ 37 more findings
Not just another vulnerability scanner.
This is built to go beyond CVE enumeration. It tests exposed assets the way an external attacker starts: discovering reachable targets, checking how weaknesses chain together, and showing what is actually exploitable. The result is faster signal, clearer priorities, and output your team can act on.
What the platform tests
External Network Pentest
Probing your infrastructure from the outside: open ports, exposed services, misconfigurations, and exploitable weaknesses attackers look for first.
Web App & API Pentest
Unauthenticated testing of your web applications and APIs. Covers OWASP Top 10 and real-world attack patterns used by penetration testers.
Dark Web Credential Hunting
Searching the dark web for leaked credentials and sensitive data tied to your domains, before attackers find and exploit them.
How it works
Verify your assets
Register your domains, subdomains, and IP addresses. Verification is straightforward and takes minutes.
Launch the pentest
One click starts the autonomous attack. Depending on scope, tests run from a few minutes to a few hours, not weeks.
Receive your report
Get a compliance-ready pentest report with detailed findings, proof of concepts, priority rankings, and remediation guidance.
What your free assessment includes
You get an external assessment of your verified attack surface: internet-facing services, web apps, APIs, and exposed credentials tied to your domains. We return a severity breakdown, concrete findings, and recommended next steps. No agents. No internal access. No commitment.
What the output looks like
Security buyers should not have to guess what they will receive. The report is structured for both leadership and engineering: a clear summary, verified findings, proof of impact, and remediation priorities.
Sample report structure
External pentest report, severity-ranked and remediation-ready
Executive summary
Scope, test window, highest-risk findings, and where exposure is concentrated.
Verified findings
Affected endpoint, severity, evidence, and what an attacker could realistically achieve.
Remediation priorities
Fix order, engineering guidance, and what to retest after remediation.
Every report includes remediation guidance.
Findings come with detailed remediation steps, code examples, and priority rankings, so your development team knows exactly what to fix and in what order.
Your data stays safe.
All testing uses encrypted connections. No sensitive data is stored or transmitted. Tests are non-destructive and designed to identify vulnerabilities without compromising your systems.
Traditional pentesting vs. AI-powered pentesting
| Traditional | Texterous AI Pentest | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to start | 2–3 months to schedule | Start in minutes |
| Results delivery | Weeks after engagement | Under 24 hours |
| Cost | €15,000–€50,000+ | Free initial assessment, paid scope quoted upfront |
| Frequency | Annual or quarterly | Continuous, on-demand |
| Coverage | Point-in-time snapshot | External attack paths across verified assets |
| Scalability | Limited by consultants | Run again whenever your surface changes |
How engagement works
Start with a free assessment. If you want deeper coverage, we scope the paid engagement upfront.
Free Assessment
One external assessment to establish where you stand before you commit to a broader engagement.
- 1 external assessment on verified assets
- Severity overview and exposed attack-surface summary
- Web app, API, network edge, and credential coverage
- No commitment required
Full Pentest
A deeper paid engagement with clearly scoped targets, detailed findings, and a free retest after remediation.
- 1 full autonomous penetration test
- Scope quoted upfront based on targets and depth
- Report in under 24 hours
- Full vulnerability details & proof of concepts
- Compliance-ready report (PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST)
- Dark web credential hunting
- Free retest after fixing issues
Continuous Protection
Regular retesting for teams that ship often and want fresh security signal whenever the surface changes.
- Regular automated penetration tests
- Monthly security reports
- Retest after major releases or surface changes
- Everything in Full Pentest
- Priority support
- Team collaboration dashboard
Clear scope before any paid engagement. The initial assessment is free. If you want a deeper pentest, we quote the paid scope upfront based on targets, environments, and required depth.
“We handle sensitive trade data, so we needed a pentest we could trust. Relevant findings, a transparent process, and a detailed, reproducible report that was immediately actionable.”
