But Shannon closes that gap by providing on-demand, automated penetration testing that can run against every build or release. +### Why "Shannon"? + +It's named after Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. At its core, pentesting is an information problem: every probe reduces uncertainty about a system's state. The best tools maximize the signal gained from every request, turning those bits of knowledge into an exploit path. + +Also, we wanted you to be able to say, "Hey Claude, run Shannon" to find all the security flaws in your vibe-coded app. + ## Shannon in Action
