Enhancement Proposal

Hi PentestAgent team!

Security testing agents have unique performance constraints - they need to be thorough but also fast enough to be practical.

Optimization Opportunity

I noticed pentest workflows often repeat reconnaissance steps. What if:

  1. Reconnaissance caching - cache results of common recon tasks
  2. Smart retry logic - optimize failed scan retries
  3. Parallel exploitation - run non-dependent exploits concurrently

Why This Matters

  • Faster test cycles = more iterations in limited time windows
  • Reduced API costs for cloud-based testing
  • Better coverage through efficient resource use

Contribution

I could implement a caching layer for reconnaissance results with TTL-based invalidation.

Would this be valuable? Happy to start a PoC.
