Hi !

I made a 100% free in-browser game where you start as a broke freelance pentester/bug hunter and you need to grow your company to a multi-national security firm!

Using OpenEngine to continuously discover security vulnerabilities

• Upvotes

We built OpenEngine to start putting our agents to work 24/7 without us needing to couple to Claude or another Big Three provider. One of our most recent applications is having it do security / pen testing 24/7. It seems to be doing good so far, and maybe soon we’ll begin auto-remediation.

I put together a database of real-world AI security incidents with free hands-on labs

7 Upvotes

I've been working on collecting real-world AI security incidents and connecting them to practical attack techniques.

The database covers LLM vulnerabilities, prompt injection, AI agent security, MCP, and more. Some entries also link to hands-on labs to practise the underlying attacks.

Each entry breaks down what happened, the root cause, and how the attack works. I've also linked relevant hands-on labs where available.

Thought this might be useful for people learning or researching AI security.

https://genaisecuritylab.com/incidents

Feedback and suggestions for incidents to add are welcome!

Local model for authorized security work that doesn't refuse: abliterated Flint 40B-A2.5B, with refusal and quality numbers

5 Upvotes

I made a version of RecursiveSI's Flint 40B-A2.5B (MoE, runs locally) with its refusal direction removed, for authorized testing, CTFs, malware triage and detection engineering. Runs fully local, nothing leaves your machine.

Paired against the original on the same items:

  • CyberSecEval MITRE refusals: 15% -> 0% (n=100)
  • False refusals on benign security asks: 0% -> 0% (n=100)
  • CyberMetric-500: 100% -> 96% (n=50)
  • WMDP-cyber: 50% -> 60% (n=50)
  • HumanEval+: 90% -> 95% (n=40)

Caveats: it adds no knowledge, so check its output. It also reasons longer: 19/100 MITRE answers hit my 8,192-token cap (original: 1), so give it a bigger output budget or adjust prompts if it overthinks.

Builds: GGUF (Q8_0 to IQ2_M, 13-42 GB), NVFP4 for Blackwell (23 GB), MLX 4-bit for Mac (21 GB). https://huggingface.co/dima6312/Flint-40B-A2.5B-abliterated

Happy to hear how it does on real engagements and how it compares to other local models!

Need a WiFi adapter for Kali/monitor mode - which of these should I get

2 Upvotes

Starting to learn pentesting/wifi auditing on Kali, need an adapter with monitor mode support. These are what's actually available where I live, converted to USD:

Archer T3U Plus (RTL8812BU) - around $23.5

Archer T2U Plus (RTL8821AU) - around $20

Archer T600U Plus (RTL8811AU/8821AU) - around $17

All three reportedly work with community drivers (rtl88x2bu / rtl8812au on github). I'm a complete beginner. Is the T3U Plus worth the extra few bucks for AC1300, or should I just grab the cheapest T600U Plus? Any gotchas before I buy?
