Kicking off my writing on visualization and software with a post on my most recent Binary Ninja plugin, Ariadne! seeinglogic.com/posts/why-of…
Learn how interactive graphing helps with reverse-engineering and some common workflows. #infosec #dataviz

I'm optimistic we can create _some_ type of knowledge-based security-related community activity but traditional online jeopardy-style CTF as a competitive format is on its deathbed and this video hurts. Big love to the community that has meant the world to me the past 11 years!

THATS A WRAP ON DISTRICTCON YEAR 1! ☃️❤️🪩
We sincerely hope you had a great time - it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team, our speakers, the villages, our sponsors, and most importantly YOU! We hope this brings you a sense of community. Stay warm, be good to each other, and we’ll see you again for Year 2!
Just want to say how pumped I am both to support an awesome local conference and to see our logo in such great company!

We are extra thankful for our incredible lineup of Year 1 Sponsors for DistrictCon! districtcon.org/sponsorships
VSCode has leaned forward on a lot of fantastic usability enhancements...
But their recent "terminal autocomplete suggestion" setting has definitely been a mixed bag for me (distracting and suggests bad completions).
To disable: settings > "terminal suggest" and uncheck
Finally ran my own experiment with AI on LiveCTF challenges after seeing a bot beat top players.
…and I was surprised by the success of current models with a single prompt.
Sharing what I did so you can try it yourself: seeinglogic.com/posts/livect…
Team Atlanta's report explains how their 1st place CRS found & patched bugs... and you can just read the code! github.com/Team-Atlanta/aixc…
The report covers a ton: orchestration, LLM strategies, patch generation... but really shines in its coverage of practical fuzzing issues.
🚀 Today, we're excited to release #TeamAtlanta’s technical report on **ATLANTIS**!
Check out how ATLANTIS won 1st place at #DARPA AI Cyber Challenge (#AIxCC) at #DEFCON 33!

My biggest surprise at #defcon33 : in a head-to-head LiveCTF match, one player’s AI bot beat _both_ humans to the punch.
I was commentating the match & was super confused because I could see the player had only just begun their solve script: youtube.com/live/TYn38VfmDRU…
🧵👇
But:
- These were non-trivial challenges that required synthesis of multiple concepts (PNG format, internal structure offsets, shellcode)
- The player provided almost no input at all, other than the challenge binary and presumably info on the LiveCTF format & challenge category
As the organizers of LiveCTF, we allowed for this possibility as an open challenge, but we were all surprised by this.
Perhaps a small turning point, but it marks a change in #CTF. Whether by policy or technical solutions, organizers will need to handle AI solvers.
