BoxPwnr Project Goals
BoxPwnr is not just about solving machines quickly. The real goal is to see how well large language models (LLMs) can problem-solve on their own. Here are the main ideas:
What We're Trying to Do
-
Solving Machines with Smarts:
We don’t want to use hack to solve specific situations (like always start doing a port scan before talking with the LLM). Instead, we want the LLM to understand the system, reason through the problem, and figure out the best command to run. -
A Testbed for Experiments:
BoxPwnr is built as a framework where we can quickly try out:- New LLM models
- Different ways for the LLMs to work together (agentic architectures)
- Various prompting techniques
This helps us learn what works best for autonomous security testing.
The Big Picture
-
Learning and Growing:
Every attempt and report saved in BoxPwnr builds a dataset. This helps us see how strategies evolve and where improvements can be made. -
Research and Sharing:
We want BoxPwnr to be a platform for both hobbyists and researchers. By testing new ideas, we can compare approaches and share our findings to help improve AI-based security testing.
In Short
BoxPwnr is a sandbox for testing how well LLMs can solve real-world problems without relying on traditional shortcuts. The aim is to encourage smarter, more adaptable problem solving by creating a simple, experimental framework.
