Bearsploit: AI-assisted penetration testing for offensive security teams
Bearsploit is AI-assisted penetration testing software for teams that do offensive work: in-house pentesters, MSSPs, audit firms. AI handles reconnaissance, correlation and report writing, the phases that take up the most time on an engagement. Your experts focus on exploitation, where their value lies.
- Sold to offensive security teams
- Constant human control
- Developed in France
Who is Bearsploit for?
Bearsploit is not for a CISO who wants to commission an engagement, but for the teams that carry out engagements. In-house penetration testing teams at large enterprises, MSSPs industrialising their audits, offensive security firms and pure players: Bearsploit increases their capacity without replacing their judgement.
-
In-house pentest teams
They run campaign after campaign across their group’s scope and want to spend their time on exploitation. -
MSSPs
They industrialise audits for many clients, each with its own scope and reports. -
Offensive security firms and pure players
They want to deliver consistent reports faster without reducing the depth of testing.
Your best people spend too much time on recon and reporting
On an engagement, a large share of the time goes into reconnaissance, correlating findings and writing the report. These tasks are necessary, but offer little reward to an experienced pentester. Meanwhile exploitation, where the value lies, has to wait. Bearsploit reverses that balance.

AI assists, humans decide
Bearsploit does not replace the pentester: it absorbs the repetitive phases to free up time for exploitation, which remains human. Engagement data is sensitive: it is processed and hosted in France.
A usage-based model
Bearsploit is subscribed to under a software licence, billed on the compute time consumed. This usage-based model aligns cost with the actual activity of your engagements.
AI-assisted penetration testing: what AI speeds up, what stays human
In an AI-assisted penetration test, Bearsploit handles reconnaissance, correlation of findings, identification of promising leads and report writing. Exploitation, creative bypassing, assessment of the business context and the decision to go further remain with the pentester. The tool prepares and documents; the human decides.
| Bearsploit’s AI speeds up | The pentester keeps control of |
|---|---|
| Reconnaissance and information gathering | Exploitation |
| Correlation of findings | Creative bypassing |
| Identification of promising leads | Assessment of the business context |
| Report writing from the material collected | The decision to go further |
Before, during, after: what Bearsploit brings to each phase
Bearsploit supports the engagement from end to end. Before, it helps scope the perimeter and prepares reconnaissance. During, it assists reconnaissance and correlation, and documents as you go. After, it generates the report from the material collected and assists with writing it.
| Phase | What Bearsploit brings |
|---|---|
| Before | Scoping the perimeter, preparing reconnaissance |
| During | Assisted reconnaissance and correlation, continuous documentation |
| After | Report generation and writing assistance |
Which types of test does Bearsploit support?
Bearsploit supports every type of penetration test, black box and grey box alike: the pentester chooses the scope, and Bearsploit adapts reconnaissance, checks and documentation.
-

-
Mobile applications
App, local storage and exchanges with APIs.
-
Internal and external testing
From the Internet or from the organisation’s network.
What are the limits of automation?
Bearsploit does not carry out exploitation and never makes the offensive decision. Leads proposed by the AI remain hypotheses that the pentester verifies before including them in the report. The tool does not guarantee that a test is exhaustive and confers no regulatory qualification.
More than a scanner, more than a collection of scripts
A scanner runs fixed checks. A collection of in-house scripts requires maintenance and consistency. Bearsploit correlates findings, suggests leads and documents as you go, in a single environment: it orchestrates the pentester’s arsenal without replacing it. The as-a-service mode adds the industrialisation of recurring engagements.
| Approach | What it brings | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner | Automated checks, at scale | Routine checks |
| In-house scripts | Targeted, custom automation | Teams that maintain their own tooling |
| Bearsploit (software) | AI-assisted correlation, leads, documentation and reporting, in a single environment | Offensive teams running their own engagements |
| Bearsploit as penetration testing as a service | Steering recurring engagements for several clients or entities | MSSPs, firms, multi-entity groups |
Frequently asked questions
Is Bearsploit a tool or a penetration testing service?
Bearsploit is software that your teams use to run their own engagements. It is not a BEAROPS service: to commission a penetration test from external experts, look at the BEAROPS penetration testing services, not Bearsploit.
Will AI replace our pentesters or exploit vulnerabilities in their place?
No. Bearsploit automates reconnaissance, correlation and report writing. Exploitation, judgement and the offensive decision remain human. That is what guarantees a reliable result and a defensible report, and what gives your experts time back for the high-value part of the engagement.
Does Bearsploit replace our usual tools?
No. Bearsploit orchestrates the engagement and saves time on the repetitive phases: it complements the pentester’s arsenal rather than replacing it. Your usual tools keep their place for exploitation and specialised checks.
What types of tests does Bearsploit cover?
Every type of test: infrastructure, external and internal networks, web applications, APIs, Active Directory, cloud and mobile applications, black box and grey box alike. The pentester stays in control of the scope and of exploitation.
How is Bearsploit billed?
Bearsploit is subscribed to under a software licence, on a usage basis, according to the compute time consumed.
How much does Bearsploit cost?
Bearsploit starts at €10,000 per year, excluding VAT. The exact amount depends on the scope covered and is set out in the quote.
Where is engagement data processed?
Engagement data is sensitive. It is processed and hosted in France.
Test Bearsploit on a target you already know
The best proof is your own. Run Bearsploit on a target your teams have already audited and compare the findings and the time spent.
