This product has charges associated with it for the Kali-AI v2 automated penetration testing platform. Kali-AI v2 with Authenticated Scanning lets you scan behind a login using a session cookie or header, across a 7-tool pipeline and Claude AI, delivering white-label PDF reports for MSSPs and red teams.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for the Kali-AI v2 automated penetration testing platform. Kali-AI v2 is a self-hosted autonomous penetration testing platform built on hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It runs a 7-tool scanning pipeline, analyzes every finding with Anthropic Claude AI, and generates professional white-label PDF reports automatically - no manual steps between scan launch and final deliverable.
This edition adds Authenticated Scanning: supply a session cookie or custom header per scan, and Kali-AI automatically includes it on every request from Nuclei, Nikto, WhatWeb, Gobuster, WPScan, and SQLMap - surfacing findings on member areas and admin dashboards an unauthenticated scan alone would miss. Credentials are encrypted at rest, redacted from all logs and console output, and never returned by the API or shown in reports.
Designed for MSSPs, security teams, red teams, and penetration testers who need repeatable automated assessments without SaaS pricing or data residency risk. All data stays on your EC2 instance.
How It Works
Kali-AI v2 executes Nmap, Nuclei, Nikto, WhatWeb, Gobuster, WPScan, and SQLMap in sequence. When an auth cookie or header is supplied, each applicable tool includes it on every request. Findings are correlated, enriched with CVE data, and analyzed by Claude AI to produce an executive summary, risk rating, attack path analysis, remediation plan, and NIST/PCI-DSS/ISO 27001 compliance observations - delivered as a white-label PDF.
Key Features
Authenticated Scanning: Supply a session cookie or custom header once; applied automatically across Nuclei, Nikto, WhatWeb, Gobuster, WPScan, and SQLMap. Encrypted at rest, never shown in logs or reports.
7-Tool Automated Pipeline: Runs with no manual orchestration required.
Claude AI Analysis: Every finding is risk-rated with actionable narratives, not raw scanner output.
White-Label PDF Reports: Your company name and logo, with email delivery on completion.
Runs on hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The first-boot wizard ensures no default credentials exist. RBAC with JWT authentication controls access across roles. Authentication values are encrypted at rest and redacted from logs, console output, and reports. All scan data remains on your EC2 instance with no vendor data retention.
Getting Started
Launch an EC2 instance (t3.medium or larger, 30 GB EBS). Open port 80 in your Security Group.
Open a browser to and complete the setup wizard.
Create your admin account (12+ character password required).
Add your Anthropic API key in Settings (console.anthropic.com - pay-per-use).
Launch a scan. Try: scanme.nmap.org. Optionally expand "Authentication" for a session cookie.
View the AI-analyzed PDF report in Reports.
Evaluate Before You Commit
Request a sample anonymized PDF report from Madarson IT before deploying. Launch a t3.medium instance and scan scanme.nmap.org to try the full scan-to-report workflow with minimal commitment.
Requirements and Limitations
An Anthropic API key is required for Claude AI analysis, billed separately by Anthropic on a pay-per-use basis.
Authenticated Scanning supports session cookie / header-based authentication. Automated login is not currently supported.
Buyers should verify compatibility with their target EC2 instance types before deploying at scale.
For HTTPS, deploy behind an AWS ALB or CloudFront distribution with an ACM certificate.
Responsible Use
AUTHORIZED USE ONLY. For security testing of systems you have explicit written permission to test, including with Authenticated Scanning. Unauthorized use violates the AWS Acceptable Use Policy, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and equivalent laws.

Highlights
Authenticated Scanning Across a 7-Tool Pipeline: Supply a session cookie or custom header once, and Nmap, Nuclei, Nikto, WhatWeb, Gobuster, WPScan, and SQLMap automatically use it to scan behind a login - surfacing findings on member portals, admin dashboards, and other authenticated areas an unauthenticated scan alone would miss. Credentials are encrypted at rest, redacted from logs and reports, and never returned by the API.
White-Label PDF Reports with Claude AI Analysis: Every scan produces a professional PDF report with executive summary, risk rating, attack path analysis, remediation plan, and NIST/PCI-DSS/ISO 27001 compliance observations generated by Claude AI. White-label with your company name and logo for direct client delivery. Email delivery on scan completion included.
Built for MSSP and Enterprise Workflows: Client and project tagging supports multi-tenant operations. Remediation tracker with assignee, due date, and CSV export. Slack, Teams, and SIEM webhooks plus a full REST API enable CI/CD integration. RBAC with admin, analyst, and auditor roles controls access across your team.

You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type that runs this platform. All dimensions bill the same way; they differ only by the compute instance you select. Options span several families: general purpose (t2, t3, t3a, m-series), compute optimized (c-series), memory optimized (r-series), storage optimized (d3, i2, i3), and GPU-backed instances (g-series, p-series). Sizes range from nano up to 8xlarge. Larger or specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. Your cost scales with the size and class of instance you choose and the hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and do I need any separate accounts to run scans?
Each hourly unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select. The platform runs on your own virtual machine. The AI analysis step needs your own separate third-party AI service key, obtained directly from that provider. Open-source scanning tools are included; no commercial tool licences are supplied.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or idle between scans?
Software charges meter running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage charges for attached volumes. You pay only for the hours the instance actually runs, regardless of how many scans you launch.
How do I choose which instance type to run the platform on?
All dimensions deliver the same platform and the same scanning pipeline; they differ only by compute capacity and hourly rate. Smaller instances suit single-target or scheduled scans. Larger compute, memory, or GPU instances suit heavier parallel scanning. You pick the instance that matches your scan volume and workload.
