AI coding assistants are everywhere. Developers are shipping code faster than ever using Claude, Copilot, and Cursor. They're also shipping SQL injection, hardcoded secrets, broken authentication, and XSS - faster than ever. The problem is obvious once you think about it: AI tools optimize for working code, not secure code. They'll write a login form that functions perfectly and is trivially bypassable with ' OR 1=1--. They'll hardcode an API key because it's the fastest way to make the demo work. They'll skip input validation because you didn't ask for it. Most solo developers and small teams will never hire a penetration tester. A basic pen test costs $500–$2,000 and takes weeks to schedule. So the vulnerabilities just ship. I built VulnSwarm to fix that. What VulnSwarm Does VulnSwarm deploys a swarm of specialized AI agents that mirror a real penetration testing team. Instead of one model trying to do everything, each agent has a distinct role: 🔭 Recon Agent — maps the attack surface.…
