SwarmHack - Autonomous swarm penetration testing for web, Active Directory, network lateral movement, and Cisco SSE — with FAIR dollar-risk quantification and Cisco SKU upsell reporting
Autonomous swarm-based penetration testing framework — one CLI for web/API, Active Directory, network lateral movement, and Cisco Secure Service Edge (SSE) assessments. Findings are exploit-validated (not just detected), mapped to OCSF 1.1.0, and — for SSE engagements — translated into FAIR dollar-risk and Cisco SKU upsell recommendations.
v3.2.0 — WAN External-Surface Testing
External-surface engagements (operator machine → client's internet-facing asset) now deliver full parity with lab performance. Two production bugs found via a live cloud-DVWA rehearsal (3/11 over WAN vs 11/11 on-host) are fixed and verified on both ends:
SWARMHACK_RESPECT_ROBOTS=1.clamp(measured_rtt/5ms, 1, 10)
(SWARMHACK_LATENCY_SCALE overrides). Local targets measure ~9ms →
mild scaling, identical results; real internet links measure ~190ms →
full headroom.Verified: Mac → Azure-hosted DVWA over the real internet, full
authorization chain (portal token + authz doc + --allow-public):
11/11 exploit-class items with evidence (was 3/11), and a fresh
dress rehearsal on never-tuned real-world apps (WordPress, phpMyAdmin)
confirmed evidence standards and report hygiene hold on unknown targets.
v3.1.0 — Security & Trust Hardening + Exploitation-Quality Release
A real exploitation tool must be safe to distribute and impossible to run unauthorized. This release closes every bypass found in a full security review of the package and the authorization chain — and pays for nothing in capability (validation run: 11/11 exploit-class items on the DVWA vuln-by-design lab, through the full portal-auth + authz-doc flow).
Unauthorized portal URL). Test overrides
require an explicit dev environment opt-in.spawn.findings array now carries only real rows (exploited /
crown-jewel / validated). Skip notices, recon fingerprints, and
service-banner inventory are partitioned into intelligence_context
— an operator notice such as "NTLM relay skipped" is never again
reported as a High-severity vulnerability.Exploited
only with class-standard proof (marker round-trips for XSS, extracted
rows for SQLi, accepted logins for default credentials, …), shared by
the Rust gate and the Python verifier.v3.0.0 — SSE Sales-Enabler Platform + Production POV Path + Three-Discipline Validation
The major release that turns SwarmHack's SSE capability from a control-auditor into a Cisco Secure Access sales-enabler, runs it through the real production CLI against a live customer tenant, and proves the full toolchain across SSE + Active Directory + network lateral movement on local labs.
The combination no BAS or CRQ tool delivers end-to-end: validated exploit-chain + FAIR dollar-risk + Cisco-SKU/tier-gap mapping.

attack-path diagrams + posture-amplification gauge.--sse-pac engagement-profile path (ADR-SSE-032) — swarmhack spawn --sse-pac profile.yaml --report sse runs the full SSE suite against a real Cisco
Secure Access tenant via the production CLI (auto-enables SSE phase routing, bridges
per-agent endpoints/policy from one YAML, synthesizes the scorecard at emit time). A
GREEN / AMBER / RED routing-honesty classifier banners which findings are
direct-proof vs steering-dependent — so nothing over-claims to a Cisco SE.End-to-end chain proven on the local pentest-lab: exploit an external host (CMDI,
credential/.env/.git exposure, CVE-2021-44790), harvest credentials, SSH
foothold, establish an SSH tunnel through the dual-homed pivot, and reach +
scan the internal-only host — recorded as a Lateral Movement via SSH finding with
crown-jewel extraction. The credential-masking + reachable-gateway pivot fixes make the
tunnel reliable.
Proven against a live GOAD domain controller: SMB default credentials, ADCS ESC1 (vulnerable certificate template), AD ACL abuse via GenericAll, AS-REP roast (55 targets), and anonymous LDAP bind — alongside the full AD/identity agent family (noPac, ZeroLogon, Kerberoast, NTLM relay, DCSync, delegation, LAPS, shadow creds, GPO abuse, Entra ID hybrid). Destructive primitives stay default-deny behind safety gates.
Dockerfile.ubuntu24 builds the binary and ships it on Ubuntu 24.04 with every
external tool the agents use — nmap, ncat, curl, dig, ssh/sshpass, ldapsearch,
smbclient, openssl, hashcat, john, tsql, the impacket suite, NetExec (nxc +
crackmapexec alias), certipy, bloodhound-python, evil-winrm, responder, freerdp,
mongosh — verified resolving at build time. Run any of the three disciplines fully
self-contained.
⚠️ Building the image needs ≥ 6 GB of Docker memory (the Rust crate's compile is memory-heavy); see the header of
Dockerfile.ubuntu24.
v2.6.0 -- Cisco SSE Upsell Engine + Hardening + AD Identity Expansion
--report sse produces an 8-section customer-facing Markdown report that maps every successful exploit to a specific Cisco SSE SKU (ADR-SSE-025/027/028/029). Each finding routes to a priority (P0/P1/P2), a capability_kind (deployed-misconfigured / licensed-not-enabled / not-licensed), and an SE-actionable remediation. Per-capability set-union rollup of affected apps/users/endpoints.config/cisco_sse_capability_map.yaml) mapping every emit category to a specific Cisco SKU + remediation. Plus 14 legacy CWE → Cisco SKU mappings so a confirmed SQLi/CMDI/XSS automatically surfaces the right SKU (WAF, FWaaS L7, DLP, RBI, ZTNA, etc.).swarmhack scorecard --before X --after Y --report sse-delta produces a closed-vs-open-vs-regressed table for renewal-cadence engagements (ADR-SSE-029).--authz-doc targets[] list at every network call.

SwarmHack includes a default configuration file (config/swarmhack.yaml) that is automatically used when running commands. You can override it by:
Using your own config file:
swarmhack spawn --config /path/to/your/config.yaml --target "http://example.com"
Creating a local config in your project:
Place config/swarmhack.yaml in your project root - it will be automatically detected.
Customizing the bundled config: Copy the bundled config to your project and modify it:
cp $(npm root -g)/swarmhack-cli/config/swarmhack.yaml ./config/
