Unauthorized a ## License MIT + +## HexStrike Integration & Thanks + +This branch vendors an optional integration with HexStrike (a powerful MCP-enabled scoring and tooling framework). HexStrike acts as a force-multiplier for PentestAgent by exposing a rich set of automated pentesting tools and workflows that the agent can call via MCP — greatly expanding available capabilities with minimal setup. + +Special thanks and credit to the HexStrike project and its author: https://github.com/0x4m4/hexstrike-ai + +Notes: +- HexStrike is vendored under `third_party/hexstrike` and is opt-in; follow `scripts/install_hexstrike_deps.sh` to install its Python dependencies. +- Auto-start of the vendored HexStrike adapter is controlled via the `.env` flag `LAUNCH_HEXTRIKE` and can be enabled per-user. +- This update also includes several TUI fixes (improved background worker handling and safer task cancellation) to stabilize the terminal UI while using long-running MCP tools.
