Hackbots (using Agent Frameworks)

A hands-on, practitioner-focused walkthrough of building real hack bots using Agent Frameworks as the core reasoning and execution engine. Instead of abstract agent theory, we focus on concrete offensive security workflows where AI meaningfully accelerates recon, analysis, decision-making, and task execution while keeping a human firmly in the loop.

What you'll learn

Build, control, and ship real hack bots.

  • Decide where AI adds real leverage in offensive security and where it does not
  • Design hack bots with human-in-the-loop as a core requirement
  • Drive Agent Frameworks as the reasoning and execution engine for offensive workflows
  • Architect single-purpose bots and multi-stage workflows using agents, skills, and commands
  • Engineer context and prompt patterns for recon, analysis, and triage tasks
  • Execute local tools through Agent Frameworks and normalize their output
  • Feed structured tool results back into reasoning loops
  • Build a recon bot for asset discovery and prioritization
  • Build endpoint, API, and client-side JavaScript analysis bots
  • Build bug triage, write-up, and content discovery workflow bots
  • Build mutation bots for XSS and SSRF
  • Spot failure modes like hallucinations and over-trust, then operationalize bots in real engagements

What your employer gets

  • Engineers who can build agentic security tooling instead of buying black-box AI pentesting products
  • Practical evaluation know-how to judge AI security tooling before purchase
  • Repeatable, documented, auditable hack bot workflows for penetration testing and bug bounty
  • Team members who understand the limits of AI in offensive work and design around them
  • Faster recon, analysis, and triage while keeping a human firmly in the loop
Course Overview

Build hack bots that actually ship work.

You will learn how to design, implement, and control hack bots that assist with penetration testing and bug bounty workflows using Agent Frameworks, local tooling, and structured prompts. This is a beta release with limited seats, designed to validate workflows and gather feedback before expansion.

What Comes Next

The course keeps growing.

Hackbots is a living course. Your enrollment doesn't end at the last video, it plugs you into everything we build next.

01

New videos every week

We're adding even more content, at least one new video per week through the end of 2026, so the material keeps pace with a fast-moving field.

02

Quarterly community meetups

Everyone who purchases the course is invited to a couple of live meetups every quarter, where we get together to discuss what we've been building.

Who It's For

How Hackbots relates to Red Blue Purple AI.

Building Hack Bots with Agent Frameworks is designed as a natural expansion of the ideas introduced in Red Blue Purple AI, but it does not require that you have taken the Red Blue Purple AI course.

Red Blue Purple AI focuses on helping security practitioners understand how to use AI across red, blue, and purple workflows, building a strong foundation in models, prompting, and practical applications of LLMs. This course takes one specific direction from that foundation and goes much deeper. Instead of surveying AI use cases, Building Hack Bots with Agent Frameworks zooms in on offensive security and shows how to design, build, and operate task-driven hack bots that integrate directly into real-world penetration testing and bug bounty workflows. It emphasizes architecture, prompt control, tooling integration, and human-in-the-loop, rather than general AI concepts.

If you have taken Red Blue Purple AI, this course will feel like a focused continuation that turns concepts into dedicated tooling. If you have not, this course stands on its own and will walk you through everything needed to build effective hack bots, assuming you already have offensive security experience.

FAQ

Good to know.

What is the refund & access policy?

Because our training includes proprietary, cutting-edge content, all registrations are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend live sessions, full recordings will be provided following the conclusion of the course so you can access the material on your own schedule.

Do I need to take Red Blue Purple AI first?

No. This course stands on its own and will walk you through everything needed to build effective hack bots, assuming you already have offensive security experience. If you have taken Red Blue Purple AI, it will feel like a focused continuation that turns concepts into dedicated tooling.

What level is this course for?

Recommended level is Intermediate. The course assumes existing offensive security experience and focuses on architecture, prompt control, tooling integration, and human-in-the-loop workflows for penetration testing and bug bounty.

Can I buy seats in bulk?

Yes. Bulk purchases and team discounts are available. Reach out and we'll set up seats and bulk pricing for your organization.
