T3MP3ST: Open-source framework turns AI coding agents into autonomous security testing tools
By
Guru Baran
Summary
T3MP3ST is a new open-source security framework that transforms general-purpose AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, Hermes) into autonomous red-teaming operators for security testing. Built by researcher elder-plinius, it acts as a multi-agent orchestration layer coordinating agents through a reconnaissance-to-exploit-to-report kill chain. The framework requires no new API keys, cloud infrastructure, or additional billing, and can be operated via a web-based "War Room" interface or CLI. It includes 35 specialized tools for autonomous vulnerability hunting and security assessment.

· 3 pulledA newly released open-source security framework called T3MP3ST is turning general-purpose AI coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, and Hermes into autonomous red-teaming operators without requiring new API keys, cloud infrastructure, or additional billing.
Built by researcher elder-plinius, T3MP3ST acts as a multi-agent orchestration layer rather than shipping its own model, coordinating multiple agent instances through a reconnaissance-to-exploit-to-report kill chain.
Users point the framework at an authorized target through a web-based 'War Room' interface or CLI, and the AI
