From Question to Command in One Click
The biggest friction in AI-assisted pentesting is the gap between "the AI told me what to run" and actually running it. You copy a command, switch to your terminal, paste it, wait, then paste results back into chat. That context-switching kills momentum.
HackFast Chats and AI Insights now detect when you ask to run a scan, enumeration, or exploit task. A deploy prompt appears inline — confirm within five seconds and a fusion agent executes the job on whatever connected machine is available.
How Agent Deploy Works
- Ask naturally: "Run a full port scan on 10.0.0.5" or "Enumerate /api on target.com"
- HackFast recognizes the intent and shows a deploy confirmation banner
- Click confirm within 5 seconds — or it auto-cancels on timeout
- The fusion agent picks up the job on your online CLI session
- Results flow back into your project: ports, paths, and scan data update automatically
Toggle and Control
Not every conversation should trigger deploys. Use the settings cog in the chat composer to turn agent deploy prompts on or off. When disabled, the AI still suggests commands — you just run them manually.
This matters during report writing or methodology discussions where you want advice, not execution.
Educational: When to Deploy vs. Advise
Use agent deploy for operational tasks:
- Network and port scanning (nmap, masscan)
- Directory and content discovery (gobuster, ffuf, feroxbuster)
- Service-specific enumeration (enum4linux, snmpwalk, sslscan)
- Credential testing with approved wordlists
Keep deploy off when you need:
- Report drafting and executive summaries
- Methodology planning before scope approval
- Training explanations for junior testers
Your AI Co-Pilot That Actually Executes
Agent deploy from chat closes the loop between analysis and action. Ask, confirm, and watch results land in your Attack Surface and API tracker — no terminal tab juggling required.
