Watchtower – AI-powered automation for local website penetration testing

Summary: Watchtower is a CLI tool that automates penetration testing using large language models and LangGraph to orchestrate agentic workflows. It generates actionable pentest reports by dynamically analyzing and responding to findings, improving the efficiency of local website security audits.

What it does

Watchtower uses a multi-agent architecture combining planning, execution, and analysis to conduct penetration tests on local websites. It processes verbose logs with Smart Truncation and performs parallel reconnaissance to optimize speed and accuracy.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers seeking automated, intelligent security audits integrated into their development workflow before deployment.

Why it matters

Watchtower addresses the complexity and noise of traditional scanning tools by providing an autonomous system that reasons through findings and adapts testing strategies, reducing the security bottleneck in fast-paced development.
