An app to hack my apps
Pentestr is an automated security testing tool that identifies vulnerabilities in web applications without requiring security expertise or expensive consultants.
Run comprehensive security scans covering SSL certificates, HTTP headers, WAF configurations, and nuclei-based vulnerability detection. Get detailed reports highlighting findings and remediation guidance in minutes.
Ideal for developers, security teams, and small-to-medium organizations looking to improve application security posture quickly and affordably.
I built this to hack my apps because I wanted a personal pentester to test the safety of my apps with official methods used in the cybersecurity space + I made it accessible as it's cheaper than the typical prices on the market.
Can't wait to know what you think !
What stood out to me wasn't the scanning.
It was the phrase "personal pentester."
That feels like a very different promise from "automated security testing," even if both can produce similar reports.
I'd be curious which one users end up responding to more strongly over time.
right, you're saying the positioning is different and the user can react differently to that
Partly.
More that the expectation being created feels different.
Someone buying a "personal pentester" may judge success very differently from someone buying an automated scanner.
I wouldn't assume those expectations stay aligned as more users come in.
Curious what you end up seeing.
super insightful thank you.
curious about what's your feeling on the one to choose
Maybe it's not about feeling but about data as you say.
I don't think I'd trust my own answer enough to give it casually in a thread.
The reason I brought it up is that those two promises can attract very different expectations, even when the underlying product is similar.
I've got a few thoughts on how I'd think about that decision, but it's probably more than I'd try to unpack properly here.
