Hacktron vs Aikido
Aikido covers code, cloud and runtime. Hacktron does offensive security: a Whitebox pentest costs about $500 per 100,000 lines of code, where Aikido’s typical pentest of one application costs $4,000.
Comparison
| Hacktron | Aikido | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Red tests your whole organisation, Whitebox one application and Review every pull request. | Code, cloud, pentesting and runtime protection, including SAST, dependencies, secrets, containers and DAST. |
| Analysis | Review reads each change with call graphs of your connected codebases, so it can report a vulnerability outside the changed lines. | Static checks run on the diff. Deep Review, an agent, pulls in context from outside the changed lines and looks at security and quality. |
| Findings | An inline comment on the vulnerable line, with the attack path, a proof of concept and a prompt to fix it. | Inline pull request comments with suggested fixes. |
| Learning | A threat model from your code, your rules file and added documents. Developers reply to mark a finding false positive, accepted risk, valid or fixed. | Stores context from developers’ replies in repository memory, and reads accepted risks from files such as AGENTS.md. |
| Fixes | Every finding carries a prompt that opens the fix in Cursor, Claude or Codex. Remediation has Hacktron’s agent test the finding, fix it, add tests and open a pull request. | Reply “Can you fix this?” and Aikido opens a pull request, when its fixes are switched on. |
| Pentests | Whitebox tests one application from its source code, and against your deployed app when dynamic testing is on. It comes with one free retest and an attestation letter. | White-box, grey-box or black-box. Separate agents try to re-exploit each finding, and the reports include a letter of attestation. |

Questions
What do you get with Hacktron?
Each pull request finding shows how an attacker would exploit it, with the attack path, a proof of concept and a fix on the vulnerable line. When you need a pentest, Whitebox tests one application from its source code for about $500 per 100,000 lines of code.
What does a Whitebox pentest include?
A pentest of one application from its source code, with optional dynamic testing against your deployed app. You get technical and executive reports, remediation guidance, an attestation letter and a free retest, which serve as pentest evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and customer security reviews. It costs $50 to $25,000, about $500 per 100,000 lines of code.
What does Review look for?
Business logic flaws, broken access control, injection, prompt injection, memory safety bugs, infrastructure-as-code exposures, supply-chain risk and leaked secrets.
Which git providers does Review work with?
GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket. Findings also go to Slack, Jira and Linear.
