Requesting approval for Hackbots (using Agent Frameworks)

Hi [Manager],

I would like to request approval to enroll in Hackbots (using Agent Frameworks), a practitioner-focused course from Arcanum Information Security taught by Jason Haddix. It is a hands-on walkthrough of building real hack bots that use Agent Frameworks as the core reasoning and execution engine, applied to concrete offensive security workflows rather than abstract agent theory.

The course maps directly to the work we do. It covers how to design, implement, and control hack bots that assist with our penetration testing and bug bounty workflows, while keeping a human firmly in the loop. Over the syllabus I would learn to:

• Decide where AI actually adds leverage in offensive security, and where it does not
• Architect hack bots using agents, skills, and commands, from single-purpose bots to multi-stage workflows
• Engineer context and prompt patterns for recon, analysis, and triage
• Execute local tools through Agent Frameworks, normalize their output, and feed structured results back into reasoning loops
• Build practical bots live: recon and asset discovery, endpoint and API analysis, client-side and JavaScript analysis, bug triage and write-up assistance, content discovery, and mutation bots for XSS and SSRF
• Recognize failure modes such as hallucinations and over-trust, then operationalize bots in real engagements with repeatability, documentation, and auditability

The practical value to the team is direct. I would be able to build agentic security tooling in-house instead of relying on black-box AI products, evaluate AI security tooling more critically before we purchase it, and accelerate recon, analysis, and triage while keeping our judgment in the loop.

Here are the details:

• Course: Hackbots (using Agent Frameworks), Arcanum Information Security
• Format: On Demand, with class recordings available online
• Class time: 8 to 15 hours
• Recommended level: Intermediate
• Cost: $1,000 USD, which includes live training and Q&A, recordings, and community access
• Enrollment: https://payhip.com/order?link=vHJEa

Please note this is a limited preorder release, releasing mid Q2, and all registrations are non-refundable. If I am unable to attend live sessions, full recordings are provided so I can complete the material on my own schedule. Bulk purchases are also available if others on the team want to join.

I am happy to share notes and the bots I build with the rest of the team so the investment benefits more than just my own work. Thank you for considering it.

Best regards,
