 | [SecEval](https://github.com/XuanwuAI/SecEval) | Benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on security-related tasks. It includes various real-world scenarios such as phishing email analysis, vulnerability classification, and response generation. |
 | [CyberMetric](https://github.com/CyberMetric) | Benchmark framework that focuses on measuring the performance of AI systems in cybersecurity-specific question answering, knowledge extraction, and contextual understanding. It emphasizes both domain knowledge and reasoning ability. |
 | [CTIBench](https://github.com/xashru/cti-bench) | Benchmark focused on evaluating LLM models' capabilities in understanding and processing Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) information. |
-
+| [PentestPerf](https://gitlab.com/aliasrobotics/alias_research/caiextensions/pentestperf) | Internal Benchmark to evaluate the security capabilities. It is built as a composition of individual benchmarks, each represented by a Docker container. Each container scenario (CTF) can contain multiple challenges and tasks. The system is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing for the addition of new benchmarks and challenges. |
 
 
 The goal is to consolidate diverse evaluation tasks under a single framework to support rigorous, standardized testing.
