AI-Powered Vulnerability Scanner with Custom Exploit Generation
Objective
To develop an advanced vulnerability scanner that uses AI (LLMs) to:
1. Identify vulnerabilities in web applications.
2. Generate custom proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits.
3. Suggest remediation using natural language explanations.
Tools & Technologies
Languages: Python
AI: OpenAI GPT-4 / LLaMA
Scanning: Nmap, Nikto, Wapiti, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP
Web interaction: Requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium
DB/Report: SQLite, MongoDB, ReportLab/FPDF
Optional UI: Flask + React.js

Phase 1: Setup & Planning
1. Set up GitHub repo and Notion board.
2. Decide between CLI or Web UI.
3. Install dependencies and scanning tools.
Phase 2: Target Discovery & Scanning
AI-Powered Vulnerability Scanner with Custom Exploit Generation
Use Nmap for port scan.
Use Wapiti/Nuclei for web scanning.
Parse JSON output for detected vulnerabilities.
Phase 3: Parsing Scan Output
Extract vulnerability type, URL, parameter, and snippet from scanner output.
Phase 4: AI Integration
Send vulnerability context to LLM for:
- PoC Exploit
- Explanation
- Fix Suggestion
Sample AI Prompt
You are a security assistant. A vulnerability was found:
- Type: XSS
- URL: http://test.com/login
Generate:
1. Exploit
2. Explanation
3. Remediation
Phase 5: Report Generation
Generate PDF or HTML reports using FPDF or templating.
Include exploit, fix, and LLM explanation.
Phase 6: Web UI (Optional)
Build a Flask-based dashboard to scan, view, and export results.

Phase 7: Final Touches
Test on DVWA, bWAPP, Juice Shop.
Add error handling, logs, and polish UI/CLI.
Deliverables
? Python scripts
? PoC exploit samples
? PDF/HTML report
? GitHub code + README
? (Optional) UI + video demo
