How AutoAttack compares.
AutoAttack is an autonomous adversary: it breaks in, chains to the goal you set, and proves every step with captured data. Here is how that differs from the tools teams weigh it against — measured where we have run the head-to-head. Unlike the new wave of AI pentest tools, it doesn’t lean on frontier language models, so the path repeats run after run.

vs NodeZero Both reach Domain Admin on hardened GOAD; AutoAttack does it about 16x faster — a 0:51 median against NodeZero’s published 14m 00s. AutoAttack vs NodeZero, in full →
vs Nessus Black-box on GOAD, Nessus reached 0 of 3 domains; AutoAttack reached all 3 in 2m 37s. AutoAttack vs Nessus, in full →

on demand A human engagement is a point-in-time snapshot booked weeks out. AutoAttack runs whenever you deploy it, as often as you need.
machine speed What a red team does in weeks, AutoAttack works in minutes — every path at once, until the goal is met or every route is spent.
same proof Like a good pentester, it proves each finding with captured evidence. Unlike one, it does not get bored, distracted, or run out of hours.
