HUMAN IN & ON THE LOOP
Watch every step as it runs. Take the keyboard at any point without killing the run.

Cracken field observation
Reactive cyber is dead
The patch now arrives after the attacker. Reacting was a strategy while you still had the months.
Manipulate trust and open the first door.
Steal credentials, permissions and context.
Turn models, memory and tools into leverage.
Move through applications, cloud and code.
Keep the access and reach the next system.
Funds. Production. Data. Decisions.
Cracken integrates with your tools, maps your assets and organizational attack surface; it self-configures to optimize costs and run only inside your guardrails.

It does not stop at a surface boundary. A lure that lands becomes an identity, an identity becomes an agent, an agent becomes production — one operation, one path.
Cracken proves a finding by exploiting it, then shows the path it walked to your crown jewels. No proof, no finding.
One graph holds the tenant: hosts, identities, services, domains, findings and the data they reach. Cracken ranks exposure by what actually chains to impact — an identity is a path, not a row in a report.
Every fix comes back written for the tool that owns it — the exact containment command, the exact access rule, the pull request on the vulnerable line — handed to the team that owns it with the proof attached. The connectors stay read-only: Cracken reads your stack to find the path, and never writes to it.
It writes payloads, chains exploits and adapts when the first attempt fails — no refusal mid-engagement, no run burned re-prompting a model into cooperating.
A Tentacle runs wherever your operational security requires — inside your network where you can reach your dev instance, or on a machine with the infrastructure to run it covertly. Tools execute there, not on Cracken's backend, so traffic arrives at your systems from where you put it. Tentacles run in parallel across the tenant, and realms keep each business unit's run blind to every other.
Playbooks and skills from real operations, driven in natural language. Build your own, or reshape what ships.
Deploy as SaaS, in your private cloud, fully on-prem, or even air-gapped. Assets, findings, and logs stay in the environment you choose.
Cracken reads the tools you already run to scope the attack, then routes the fix back to the one that owns it.
Watch every step as it runs. Take the keyboard at any point without killing the run.
Set the intrusiveness level before the run starts. Anything above it stops and waits for your approval.
Kill one operation, or every operation in a realm, from one control.
Every command, approval and artifact, timestamped. Replay the run step by step, months later.
Tools run inside a Tentacle — a container on a host you own. Never on Cracken's backend.
Credentials the agent touches are matched and masked before they reach a log or a report.
Starting from one exposed test server. Retail bank, first operation.
European insurer, 12,000 assets.
An asset the customer did not know it owned. Across engagements.
Safety alignment cannot tell an authorized red team from an attacker. Measured across 24 models, 0.6B to 1T.
An open benchmark that scores refusal and capability separately. A model that declines and a model that cannot are not the same failure.
An open-source honeypot. Seed lures that read as real assets, and log what an attacking agent found, downloaded and ran.
Run it against systems you nominate, in your environment.
Ask the question that matters — can someone get from outside to the crown jewels, and get back the path a machine walked, with the commands, the timestamps and the fix?
