Pentest Thinking

소개

Pentest Thinking is an advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to empower both human and AI pentesters by providing a systematic, AI-powered reasoning engine. It automates attack path planning using sophisticated Beam Search and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithms, offering step-by-step guidance for CTFs, Hack The Box, and real-world penetration tests. This server transforms traditional Large Language Models into structured, methodical pentest planners and advisors, bridging the gap between AI and offensive security. It serves as a foundational implementation for the LIMA research, which leverages LLMs and MCP servers to automate initial-access reconnaissance, enumeration, and exploitation, demonstrating faster task completion and establishing a quantitative baseline for AI-augmented penetration testing.
