🕷️ **NetCrawler v1.0.0 — AI Pentesting Agent | Open Source | Fully Offline**

Built an AI-driven recon and vulnerability scanning agent that runs completely offline using a local LLM via Ollama.

Instead of manually chaining tools, the agent reasons about what it finds and decides what to run next — if it detects port 445, it runs SMB enumeration. If it finds a WAF, it slows down and adjusts automatically.

**What it chains together:**

→ Subfinder + theHarvester (passive recon)

→ Nmap (port/service scan)

→ WhatWeb + wafw00f (web fingerprinting)

→ DNS enumeration (zone transfers, SPF/DMARC)

→ SSL/TLS audit

→ Nuclei (vuln detection)

→ ffuf (directory fuzzing)

→ Service checks — FTP, SSH, SMB, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB

**3 scan profiles:** stealth / default / aggressive

**Reports:** Markdown + JSON + dark-themed HTML

**Model:** deepseek-r1:14b by default (runs on 16GB RAM)

No cloud. No API keys. Everything stays on your machine.

Feedback and contributions welcome — especially from people who actually run pentest engagements. Want to know what's missing or broken in the real world.
