The document introduces Gauntlt, an open source security tool that automates security tests. It can run tools like nmap, sqlmap, and dirb against applications and check the output for vulnerabilities. Gauntlt uses behavior-driven development syntax to define tests in an easy to read format. The document provides examples of using Gauntlt to test for open ports, SQL injection vulnerabilities, and common misconfigurations. It also discusses the motivation behind Gauntlt and plans for future development.
