Argus Red is a CLI tool that uses a post trained model to perform penetration testing. It offers two modes: Security Scan (read only, self serve) and Pen Test (active, gated). The Security Scan runs modules like dependency vulnerability analysis, secret detection, SQL injection/XSS vectors, and more. It produces a markdown report with location, severity, cause, and fix direction for findings grounded in your code. The Pen Test mode attempts exploits against authorized systems, with configurable effort levels and agent permissions. The tool runs locally on your machine and is built on Cosine's own model, post trained for offensive security.
