About
Caido is a web hacking toolkit built to scale manual testing through AI and teamwork. It is aimed at bug bounty hunters, pentesters, and security engineers, with a headless, API-first proxy that security engineers can use to build automation. Users can connect Caido to the LLM provider they already use, including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and others via OpenRouter, to power AI-driven plugins. Caido also offers a Client SDK that gives AI agents programmatic access to the tool.
The website highlights speed, simplicity, and scale as core strengths. Features mentioned include context-aware AI testing, where autonomous agents can draft payloads and execute tasks; instant request filtering using the HTTPQL search syntax; and a node-based system for building ad-hoc automation workflows. Caido reports over 7,000 active hackers, 58+ community plugins, and more than 4,500 Discord members, and a security research director quoted on the site describes it as a fast, minimalist daily-driver web proxy with straightforward plugin development.
The website text does not specifically mention macOS or describe Mac-specific features, so no platform-specific claims are included here.
