Claim 10:
11. A cyber security method using intelligent agents (IAs) on a network, comprising:
(a) after initial setup, directing, by an IA, a knowledge base program to continuously scan data of a target on a network;
(b) using the configuration information, by the IA, attempting a connection to the target to exploit a vulnerability;
(c) accumulating pertinent knowledge, by the IA, regarding one or more of a connection method and target information;
(d) connecting, by the IA, with the target, to exploit the vulnerability with the target using the pertinent knowledge, wherein said exploiting the vulnerability with the target comprises binary level adjustments in the connection to the target to expose unknown vulnerabilities in the target, wherein the IA attempts the connection to a human user interface target by a world wide web (WWW) form request, wherein the IA completes the appropriate form request, and wherein the IA repeats the form request until the IA has no more requests available to make with the target;
(e) collecting, by the IA, configuration information required to exploit the vulnerability with the target to exploit the vulnerability;
(f) attempting, by the IA, to exploit the vulnerability of the target by repeatedly using the pertinent knowledge until the vulnerability is exploited;
(g) receiving, by the IA, a response to a command from the target;
(h) processing the response, by the IA, thereby generating a result; and
(i) using a knowledge base program, by the IA, processing the results, and transmitting the processed result to a storage.
