Question 1

What is Revelion?

Accepted Answer

Revelion is an autonomous penetration testing platform. It uses AI agents to perform real security assessments against your systems - the same techniques a human pentester would use, but available on demand.

Question 2

How is this different from a vulnerability scanner?

Accepted Answer

Scanners check for known signatures. Revelion thinks. It chains vulnerabilities together, adapts its approach based on what it finds, and exploits weaknesses to prove they're real - not just flag them as theoretical risks.

Question 3

Does Revelion replace human pentesters?

Accepted Answer

No. Revelion is a tool for security professionals, not a replacement. It handles the repetitive, time-consuming work so pentesters can focus on complex logic flaws and business context that require human judgement.

Question 4

What do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

A target URL or IP address and a Docker container running on your machine. Setup takes about 5 minutes. You get 5,000 free credits to start testing immediately.

Question 5

Why does the agent run on my machine?

Accepted Answer

The execution agent runs locally in a Docker container so all testing traffic originates from your infrastructure. Our cloud brain coordinates the strategy, but the actual testing happens on your side.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Start free with 5,000 credits. Pay-as-you-go top-ups start at 10,000 credits for £10. Pro subscription is £99/month with 25% bonus on top-ups. MSP plan is £299/month with client management and white-labelling. No long-term contracts.

Question 7

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

The execution agent runs on your infrastructure. Findings and mission data are stored in your account with row-level security isolation. We use Supabase (SOC 2 Type II certified) for data storage.

Question 8

What can Revelion test?

Accepted Answer

Web applications, APIs, internal networks, external infrastructure, and cloud services. The agent runs on your machine so it can reach whatever your network can reach.

Question 9

How does AI pentesting compare to manual pentesting?

Accepted Answer

A typical external pentest costs £10,000-20,000 and takes weeks to schedule. Revelion lets you test on demand for a fraction of the cost. The AI runs 24/7, chains vulnerabilities together, and delivers professional reports with CVSS scores and remediation guidance — in hours, not weeks.

Question 10

What is autonomous penetration testing?

Accepted Answer

Autonomous penetration testing uses AI agents to perform the same techniques a human pentester would — reconnaissance, exploitation, lateral movement, and reporting — but without manual intervention. The AI adapts its strategy based on what it discovers, just like a skilled attacker would.

Question 11

Can I control what the AI does during a test?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Revelion offers full human-in-the-loop control. You can configure pre-mission instructions, steer the AI mid-mission with operator directives, and enable manual approval mode to review and approve every action before it executes.

Question 12

What types of vulnerabilities can AI pentesting find?

Accepted Answer

Revelion finds critical vulnerabilities including remote code execution, SQL injection, authentication bypass, command injection, file inclusion, SSRF, and more. It chains vulnerabilities together to discover attack paths that automated scanners miss.

Question 13

Is automated pentesting compliant with GDPR and other regulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Revelion is built in the UK and designed with compliance in mind. Testing data stays on your infrastructure via the Docker agent. The platform supports 9 compliance frameworks including OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.
