BruteForceAI is a penetration testing tool that uses LLMs to improve the way brute-force attacks are carried out. Instead of relying on manual setup, the tool can analyze HTML content, detect login form selectors, and prepare the attack process automatically. It is built to mimic realistic human behavior while running multi-threaded attacks, which makes testing more effective and accurate.
