“Reporting System Performs Well But Authentication Handling Needs Improvement”

4.0
Aug 13, 2025
My experience with Ridgebot was really positive! The automated vuln scanning is efficient, and the reporting system is good as well. Not having to worry about false positives is also a major positive for Ridgebot. My main issue was in the authentication part, having to deal with the tokens makes the automation part a little bit annoying.

“Great, But can do better”

3.0
Jun 20, 2023
In my opinion, Ridgebot is a good penetration testing software but still has a long way to go. The software's ML capability is quite advanced. It learns from previous assessments and continuously improves its ability to detect vulnerabilities. However, unlike other similar tools that I've used before, its coverage for emerging technologies and niche frameworks is quite limited.

RidgeBot Likes & Dislikes

Like

AI Features Auto-exploits Enumeration No False-positives

Like

Great at simulating attack scenarios.

Like

Ridgebot is a great tool for pentesters for covering the vulnerabilities that are not too complex, thus making it better for human pentesters to focus in finding the complex vulnerabilities inside the organization.

Dislike

My main issue is the way that ridgebot deals with authentication, creating a way to automatically renew tokens would be great for the tool.

Dislike

It's speed for scanning large applications is a bit slow. Limited threat detection capabilities

Dislike

Limited depth compared to human pentesters, requires careful configuration to avoid service interruptions, and we are dependent on the updates of the vendor.

    Ridgebot Reveals Real-Time Attack Paths and Streamlines Security Demonstrations

    5.0
    Jul 31, 2025
    I've done presentations and demos of Ridgebot to our clients, and still, the moment it hits the real infra and show actual exploit paths, we were amazed. It's not just scan and report. It acts, shows what an attacker can do right now. I usually set it up in an under an hour for POCs. Most clients get value quick, especially when they see how little noise it gives back. Not perfect, but it proves that this solution works. This makes my job way easier.

    Ridgebot Tool Assists Pentest Teams With Vulnerability Mining and Simulation Modules

    4.0
    Nov 18, 2025
    I was involved in the evaluation of Ridgebot for a customer that wanted to implement this adversarial simulation tool for their environment. I can confidently say it does come in very handy for the pentest teams. The vulnerability mining and automated exploitation modules do help well with pentest and red team exercises.
