Crakrr
Best Paper — ICCDM 2026 (Springer)Most web vulnerability scanners are either dumb — spraying payloads and pattern-matching responses — or they need an expert driving. Crakrr is an attempt at a third option: a scanner that reasons about a target the way a human tester does.
It orchestrates Gemini and Claude models through a universal MCP server, letting AI agents crawl an application, form hypotheses about where XSS and SQLi might live, and then verify actual exploitability with Selenium-driven payloads instead of guessing from response strings. The MCP layer means any model that speaks the protocol can be swapped in as the brain.
The paper behind it won Best Paper at ICCDM-2026. The desktop client also has a custom OpenGL interface with hand-written shaders and physics-based animation, which the scanner absolutely did not need. It has them anyway.
