Platform Overview

​

MindFort Platform Architecture

MindFort is an AI-powered red team security platform that uses advanced machine learning models to conduct comprehensive penetration testing of web applications. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners, MindFort employs intelligent agents that actually exploit discovered vulnerabilities with concrete proof-of-concept evidence.

​

AI Agent System

​

Multi-Agent Architecture

Specialized Agent Teams:

• Reconnaissance Agents: Discover and map application structure, endpoints, and attack surface
• Exploitation Agents: Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities with working proof-of-concept
• Validation Agents: Confirm exploitability through actual testing to eliminate false positives
• Historical Analysis Agents: Learn from past assessments to avoid redundant work
• Evidence Collection Agents: Document successful exploits with screenshots and payloads

Comprehensive Vulnerability Coverage: MindFort tests for 13 different vulnerability categories across the OWASP Top 10:

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
• Broken Access Control
• SQL Injection
• OS Command Injection
• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
• Path Traversal
• XML External Entity (XXE)
• Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)
• Business Logic Flaws
• Security Misconfiguration
• Authentication Vulnerabilities
• Information Disclosure
• File Upload Vulnerabilities

Task Distribution:

• Different agents handle different testing tasks and vulnerability categories in parallel
• Agents coordinate to test systematically across all discovered functionality
• Real-time adaptation based on target responses and discovered vulnerabilities
• Continuous learning from each assessment improves future testing effectiveness

​

Model Diversity & Optimization

Hybrid Model Approach:

• Frontier Lab Models: Leveraging cutting-edge models from leading AI research organizations
• In-House Post-Training: MindFort’s specialized security-focused model training and fine-tuning
• Dynamic Assignment: Best-performing models are continuously assigned to appropriate testing tasks
• Constant Evaluation: Models are regularly benchmarked and updated for optimal security testing performance

Continuous Evolution:

• Weekly Updates: New model improvements and agent capabilities deployed weekly
• Performance Monitoring: Ongoing evaluation of model effectiveness across different vulnerability types
• Adaptive Learning: Agents improve based on successful exploitation patterns and techniques
• Security Research Integration: Latest attack methods and defense bypass techniques incorporated regularly

​

Your Dedicated Security Team

​

Not a One-Time Pen Test

MindFort is fundamentally different from traditional penetration testing engagements. Rather than a single point-in-time assessment, MindFort functions like a dedicated in-house security team that focuses exclusively on your application.

​

Learning Over Time

Each assessment makes MindFort smarter about your specific application: Early Assessments (Building Knowledge)

• Maps your application’s structure and behavior
• Learns authentication flows and user journeys
• Identifies which areas contain the most functionality
• Builds baseline understanding of your tech stack

Subsequent Assessments (Increasing Effectiveness)

• Focuses on high-value areas based on past findings
• Knows which advanced tests are most relevant to your app
• Efficiently detects and tests changes since the last assessment
• Applies lessons learned to find deeper vulnerabilities

Mature Testing Relationship

• Deep familiarity with your application’s attack surface
• Targeted testing based on your specific vulnerability patterns
• Faster assessments because less time is spent on reconnaissance
• More sophisticated tests as understanding grows

​

Why This Matters

​

Detecting Changes

MindFort recognizes when your application has changed and adapts accordingly:

• New endpoints are automatically discovered and tested
• Modified functionality receives focused attention
• Removed features are noted and findings updated
• Deployment changes trigger relevant security checks

This means you can deploy updates confidently, knowing MindFort will efficiently test what’s changed without redundantly testing unchanged areas.

​

Assessment Workflow

​

Three-Phase Testing Process

Every MindFort assessment follows a structured approach: Phase 1: Discovery & Reconnaissance

• Automated exploration maps your application’s endpoints and functionality
• Captures application behavior, API patterns, and user workflows
• Authenticated mode (with credentials) discovers protected functionality
• Creates comprehensive knowledge base for targeted testing

Phase 2: Parallel Vulnerability Testing

• All 13 vulnerability workflows execute simultaneously for efficiency
• Each workflow targets specific vulnerability categories with specialized techniques
• Agents attempt actual exploitation to confirm findings
• Out-of-band validation techniques detect blind vulnerabilities

Phase 3: Validation & Deduplication

• Retests all existing findings to confirm current vulnerability status
• Identifies and merges duplicate findings across assessments
• Updates vulnerability database to reflect current security state
• Provides clear remediation status for each issue

​

Assessment Methods & Coverage

MindFort offers three assessment methods to match your security testing needs:

​

Turbo Mode

Fast, efficient scanning optimized for regular use:

• Single-pass analysis with proven exploit techniques
• 75th percentile coverage of OWASP Top 10 vulnerability patterns
• All 13 vulnerability categories tested in parallel
• Automatic retesting of previous findings
• Ideal for: Daily/weekly monitoring, CI/CD integration, continuous validation

​

Balanced Mode

Middle ground between speed and thoroughness:

• Enhanced models with additional reasoning capabilities
• Multiple analysis passes for deeper investigation
• Extended time on target compared to Turbo
• Better edge case detection than Turbo mode
• Ideal for: Sprint-end security checks, regular validation, pre-staging deployments

​

Deep Mode

Comprehensive multi-pass analysis for thorough coverage:

• Largest AI models with extended reasoning and analysis
• Multiple passes with progressively deeper investigation
• Complex attack chains and sophisticated multi-step exploits
• Business logic testing of complex application workflows
• Edge case discovery requiring deep application understanding
• Ideal for: Major releases, quarterly penetration tests, compliance audits

​

Continuous Learning Model

​

Successive Assessment Benefits

Agent Memory & Learning:

• Target Familiarity: Agents build understanding of application architecture over time
• Vulnerability Tracking: Continuous verification that existing vulnerabilities still exist
• New Discovery Focus: As agents master known patterns, they focus on discovering new issues
• Exploit Sophistication: Progressive development of more advanced attack chains

Optimal Assessment Frequency:

• Weekly: Maximum benefit for active development with continuous security validation
• Bi-weekly: Balanced approach for applications with regular updates
• Monthly: Minimum frequency to maintain agent familiarity and learning progression

​
