Censys finds more than 800 Artex AI hacking tool deployments reachable from the web without a password
Censys has identified more than 800 distinct Artex deployments reachable from the web without a password. Artex is a Chinese-made, open-source autonomous penetration testing tool released publicly in July. Exposed instances also expose implants used for persistent access to victim networks. The developer has announced closed-source plans, limiting releases to paid customers; dozens of code copies remain online.
