Traditional pentests are expensive, slow, and point-in-time. Your team waits weeks for a report, spends days triaging findings of uncertain severity, and by the time fixes ship, the codebase has already moved on. The next pentest cycle starts from scratch with little memory of what was tested before. Automated scanners fill the gaps between pentests, but they’re limited to known patterns and signatures. They miss business logic flaws, multi-step vulnerabilities, and issues that require understanding how your application actually works.

​
How Neo Solves This

Neo runs comprehensive application pentests that combine the depth and creativity of a skilled human pentester with the speed and consistency of automation. When you point Neo at an application, it:
  1. Maps the attack surface — crawls the application, discovers endpoints, identifies authentication mechanisms, and builds a model of the application’s structure and behavior.
  2. Plans a targeted assessment — based on the technology stack, application architecture, and what Neo already knows from previous assessments (if any), it builds a multi-step testing plan prioritizing the highest-risk areas.
  3. Tests across vulnerability classes — injection, authentication and session management, access control, business logic, SSRF, file handling, cryptographic issues, and more. Neo uses browser automation, API testing, code analysis, and terminal tools in combination, the same way a pentester would chain techniques during an engagement.
  4. Pursues depth through chaining — when Neo finds an initial foothold, it continues. A low-severity information disclosure might chain into an SSRF, which chains into internal service access. Neo explores these paths to demonstrate real business impact rather than stopping at the first finding.
  5. Validates everything with exploits — every finding is confirmed with a working exploit. Neo captures the payload, full execution trace, and reproduction steps before reporting anything.
  6. Improves with every assessment — Neo remembers your application across assessments. The second pentest builds on the first: skipping redundant discovery, focusing on what changed, and testing deeper into areas where it previously found interesting behavior.

What This Looks Like in Practice

You ask Neo to run a full pentest of your staging application: 
Run a comprehensive penetration test of https://staging.yourapp.com

Credentials:
- Admin: admin@yourcompany.com / ••••••••
- Regular user: user@yourcompany.com / ••••••••

Focus on authentication, authorization, injection, business logic, 
and any multi-step attack chains you can identify.
Neo maps the application, identifies 47 endpoints across 6 service areas, and begins testing. Over the next 30 minutes, it discovers that the password reset flow accepts a modified redirect URI, chains this with a token leak to achieve account takeover on any user account, and documents the full attack chain with evidence at every step.

​
What You Get

  • Comprehensive coverage — Neo tests across all major vulnerability classes, combining multiple tools and techniques in a single assessment
  • Real exploitation depth — multi-step attack chains that demonstrate actual business impact, not just individual findings in isolation
  • Continuous improvement — every assessment builds on the last, with coverage that deepens over time as Neo learns your application
  • Evidence for every finding — payloads, traces, screenshots, and step-by-step reproduction for each validated vulnerability
  • Remediation guidance — specific to your codebase, referencing the files and patterns involved

​
Setup

To run an application pentest:
  1. Add your target environment in Settings → Environments
  2. Connect the application’s repository in Settings → Integrations → GitHub for code-aware testing (optional but recommended)
  3. Configure any required environment variables (API keys, authentication tokens) in Settings → Environment Variables
  4. Start a new conversation and tell Neo what to test
