NOCTURNE: Open-Source AI for Smarter Security Assessments

Description and use

NOCTURNE consolidates security assessment stages into a single operator workspace using an LLM‑based multi‑agent architecture, integrates scanning tools, and offers an interactive dashboard, boosting efficiency for small cybersecurity teams.

Problem

Small cybersecurity teams spend excessive time coordinating multiple tools and tools during penetration testing, hindering focus on risk understanding.

Outcome

NOCTURNE reduces coordination overhead for small teams by integrating tools, orchestrating tasks with LLM agents, and providing a unified dashboard and structured reporting, enabling more efficient security assessments.

Workflow

• Define engagement scope in the operator console
• LangGraph orchestrator plans tasks and delegates to executor agents
• Executor agents invoke security tools (e.g., Nmap, Nuclei) and collect results
• Agents update engagement state and send findings to the dashboard
• Operator reviews, verifies, or dismisses findings via the findings panel
• Structured reports are exported in PDF, JSON, or SARIF formats
