# Hinln/ARTEX > Autonomous AI-driven penetration testing system with a Go backend and Next.js frontend, where LLM agents explore assets, call tools and maintain a coverage map. Aimed at security specialists automating recon and testing. - Magnitude: 5.6 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 81 total · +6 stars measured 2026-10-09, 04:18–05:00 UTC, ≈ 61 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Security · Language: Go · License: AGPL-3.0 · Created: 2026-10-08 · Last push: 2026-10-08 - GitHub: https://github.com/Hinln/ARTEX · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Hinln/ARTEX ## Useful for - Run an autonomous pentest of a web app with an LLM agent - Sync assets from ScopeSentry and build a coverage map - Set up interception and manual approval of risky agent actions ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 04:18–05:00: 75 → 81 stars (+6). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +61 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 81 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #189. - About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 201 - Issues and pull requests: 1 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 72 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 8 ## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-10-09: 0, 0, 0, 0, 82, 6 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #189 ## Similar by description 1. **cskwork/scopeweaver** — 6.6 · Early signal · Security · Go · +40 stars measured 2026-10-09, 00:05–04:59 UTC, ≈ 200 by evening An LLM multi-agent autonomous penetration-testing system (Go backend + Next.js frontend), a derivative of ARTEX with English and Korean localization.

It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
