MonkeyX - Human driven, AI Compatible Pentest Automation

The offensive security industry is being flooded with AI powered pentesting tools from heavily funded startups and individual researchers building autonomous hacking frameworks. But where does that leave human hackers? This talk explores a different path. Using automation and AI not to replace offensive security professionals, but to amplify them. Attendees will be introduced to MonkeyX, a human driven, AI-compatible framework designed to orchestrate OSINT, attack surface enumeration, and penetration testing activities while maintaining operator control and visibility. MonkeyX enables practitioners to build custom modules, create reusable workflows, integrate the tools and techniques they already rely on, and scale their capabilities through automation. Through real world examples and live demonstrations, this session will show how offensive security teams can leverage automation and AI to achieve greater speed, consistency, and coverage while preserving the creativity, critical thinking, and expertise that make human led security testing effective.
