Find a vuln? Your disclosure options:
1. Exploit it! Plant ransomware, steal cryptocurrency
2. Sell it to a broker. Add "journalist hacked" to the muted words list. Ignorance is bliss
3. Sell to your country's military. Patriotic.
4. Tell people who are affected by disclosing it

Maybe AI is what was needed to make Linus‘s Law ("Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow") become effective since now there are enough(?) AI assisted eyeballs.

Question for the CVSS nerds:

One-click unsandboxed RCE on a Desktop App in CVSS 4.0 --> Subsequent System Impact Metrics are what exactly?

Thanks so much to everyone who showed up on the weekend in Berlin to say goodbye to FX.

“Burning bridges where we can” - this is the original Phenoelit slogan. Yet, while FX for sure burned some network bridges, he did quite the opposite for the hacking community. FX built bridges between people wherever he could. He created something way bigger than himself which we all are part of.

Each one who joined us in Berlin carries a piece of his legacy. You were there because he left something with you. We know there are many who couldn't make it in person, and they too carry his spirit with them.

FX is gone.
But the spirit lives on.

LLMs now do the busywork of finding amazing vulnerabilities for everyone willing to spend the tokens.

But hacking still isn't dead:

  1. We haven't at all solved the underlying problems which come with writing and shipping code.

  2. You still need to understand what you're looking at and what you are operating.

  3. The LLM platforms themselves are a exquisite target for hacking^Wcreative use of the technology.

Now when everyone can pull a CVE or two out of thin silicon and a few kWh of electricity the art of hacking might need adopt and maybe reshape a little but at its core the mind- and skillset will stay as relevant as it always was.

In that sense: keep hacking, keep exploring, break some stuff.

If your Open Source project sees a steep increase in number of high quality security reports (mostly done with AI) right now (#curl, Linux kernel, glibc confirmed) please tell me the name of this project.

(I'd like to make a little list for my coming talk on this.)
