May 2026 update

What’s new

Smarter models. Local search. Threat intel in the editor.

  • Model routingNew

    General tasks → fast model. Exploit work → offensive-security model. Zero switching.

  • Workspace indexingNew

    Semantic index on your machine. Right files in workspace context. No paste-in.

  • Threat intel MCPNew

    Shodan, VT, MITRE, NVD, OTX, AbuseIPDB—built into the editor.

  • Auto top-upNew

    Never stall mid-engagement. From $8/1M on Pro. Caps and warnings in-app.

Core capabilities

Built for operators who need AI that executes—not refuses.

Sovereign AI

Security-first models. No hand-waving refusals.

  • Malware analysis, exploit research, red team—supported
  • Frontier-scale models tuned for the work
  • Stays useful when generic chat says no

Agentic execution

Chat is the start. Outcomes are the point.

  • Multi-step tool calls on your machine
  • Workflows that carry context across tasks
  • Analysis → action, not copy-paste loops

Your tools, your box

Your stack. Your PATH. Your lab.

  • Kali, WSL, local binaries, custom scripts
  • nmap, Burp, scanner output—in context
  • Not a sanitized cloud sandbox
No training on your data Prompts, code, and engagement context are not used to train our models.

On your desktop

Native desktop app—not a browser tab. Filesystem, shell, and tools on your machine.

How the IHE compares

Not chat in a tab. An integrated hacking environment.

Capability Generic commercial AI Hacker Sidekick IHE
Safeguards High (frequent refusals) Tailored for security & hacking workflows
Parameter scale Small local or public cloud Up to 1.5T-parameter frontier-class models
Environment Web browser only Desktop Electron application
Training on your data Often used to improve models We do not train our models on your data
Data privacy Shared infrastructure Single-tenant private inference options
Tool execution None Multi-shot agentic tool calling
Model selection One model for everything Auto-routed by task
Workspace context Paste into chat Workspace indexing (hsk-emb)
Threat intelligence Extra browser tabs In-editor MCP
Token limits Hard stop Auto top-up (optional)

Primary use cases

Automated penetration testing

Generate step-by-step attack plans, develop payloads, and keep a live audit trail of every AI-assisted action-so engagements stay reproducible and defensible.

Chaining attack narratives

Fuse massive artifacts-pcap, logs, SIEM exports-into a coherent story and surface gateway vulnerabilities that siloed tools often miss.

Rapid triage & forensics

Extract IoCs faster, automate lab setup for memory analysis, and accelerate malicious-domain triage when seconds matter.

The landscape

Drowning in noise-starved for execution.

The cybersecurity industry is at a breaking point-drowning in noise and stalled by cognitive overload. While developers have long enjoyed integrated environments like Cursor, security operators have been left to stitch together siloed tools and public models that block or sanitize the very tasks that define legitimate security work.

Built for operators

Force multiplication at the speed of attack.

Hacker Sidekick’s Integrated Hacking Environment (IHE) is a deliberate paradigm shift: not another chat window, but a specialized, agentic desktop powerhouse built to execute the mission. It turns a single operator into a high-functioning team-eliminating the manual slog so your best people focus on creative, data-driven decisions while the AI handles execution at machine speed.
