The successor to mythos is not only going to be able to find/write technically challenging exploits, but also come up with the awesome punny project names for them. We're toast!

Umbriel's Aaron Grattafiori featured on this episode of Three Buddy Problem. Check it out!
This was a great, fun conversation with two of the buddies on a whole host of security topics and I've already been enjoying the other @OffensiveAIcon episodes they've put out, so also check those out. Thanks for having me on @ryanaraine and @juanandres_gs !

🔥 The first Three Buddy Problem from Offensive AI Con is live! Audio only.
IBM X-Force’s Valentina Palmiotti (@chompie1337) walks us through the autonomous Windows kernel exploit pipeline she built on older Claude models, which landed within a hair of Mythos for about $180 a chain.
Plus, the Pwn2Own bug Claude called unexploitable, why her Pwn2Own bugs still sit unpatched, disappearing exploit techniques, the dread of being a defender, and how Phrack found its way back into print.

This was a great talk at OAIC by @_dinolover38 and some really cool techniques. Fuzzing is dead, long live fuzzing.
vf3 (very fast fun vibe fuzzer) designed by @_dinolover38 is faster than Jackalope and libprotobuf-mutator 😳 🏃🏻♂️🔥 #OAIC
Crush it Aaron!
Umbriel's Aaron Grattafiori (@dyn___) is speaking today at @OffensiveAIcon - be sure to check it out if you're there!
Congrats Ben!
Today I'm joining Anthropic to lead the cybersecurity mission of the Frontier Red Team.
In my career I've never seen a clearer opportunity to build a more secure world for everyone. For 40 years we've lived with fundamentally insecure technology. What will it take to make the past 40 years of hacking a historical oddity? That's what I'm here to find out.
Super excited to work with @logangraham and the rest of the FRT crew.
This was an awesome talk!
I put my @UnpromptedAU slides up at justdionysus.github.io/slide… — a bit of reflection on exploit development in the age of AI. My TL;DR is keep pushing to understand complex things, be honest with your own understanding, and use AI as a power tool to increase pace and depth.
Check out Caleb's talk!
Umbriel's Caleb Gross (@noperator) spoke at Blackhat this year ("Sift or get off the PoC: Applying information retrieval to vulnerability research"). The talk is now live! See it here: youtube.com/watch?v=1ADD60wy…
Sweeeeet
Umbriel's Caleb Gross (@noperator) has an article in the latest Phrack 73 issue (@phrack) "Word Machines for Weird Machines" - check it out when you get the chance!
Thanks to my teammates for making this happen! If you do offensive VR we'd be interested in hearing from you :)
We are proud to be hosting @UnpromptedAU this year! Hope everyone is enjoying the show :). Come say hi to us - many of our staff are helping out (wearing red staff shirts) or vigilant shirts
