This technical post walks through the design and implementation of Secure Playground: a local web app that simulates prompt-injection attacks against large language models and demonstrates simple defenses. Provide a minimal, reproducible environment to test payloads and defensive strategies. Make it easy to add new providers and run mutation-based red-team experiments. Offer a leaderboard and scor

Lab Environment Component Description Attacker Machine Kali Linux Target Machine Metasploitable2 Network Type Host-only / NAT
A critical kernel privilege escalation that leaves no trace on disk — and how it works It started with a blog post. On April 29, 2026, Theori's research platform Xint Code quietly dropped a URL: copy.fail. Within hours, security teams across the industry were scrambling. A 732-byte Python script — shorter than most .gitignore files — was rooting every major Linux distribution in existence. No race
Hi everyone! I've been working on a personal project to create a desktop virtual assistant that doesn't rely on the cloud. I wanted something that felt like JARVIS but kept my data 100% private. Brain: It uses Ollama as the backend, so you can run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi-3 locally. Interface: Built with PyQt6 featuring a "holographic" glassmorphism effect (transparent and sleek).
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Part 2 (coming soon): Connecting to spoke clusters from a controller using multicluster-runtime, driven by ClusterProfile. The Cluster Inventory API (multicluster.x-k8s.io) is driven by SIG-Multicluster and centered on the ClusterProfile resource. It only delivers value when something produces those ClusterProfiles. That something is a cluster manager. Today, t
When developers travel, we usually prepare the obvious things. Laptop charger. But there is one dependency that is easy to underestimate until it breaks: mobile internet. A trip to China makes this especially obvious. Not because China is hard to travel in, but because so many basic interactions are mobile-first: navigation, translation, ride-hailing, hotel communication, ticket confirmations, pay
A defaced website is a curious problem. It's loud — anyone visiting the page can see something is wrong. But it's also quiet from a server's perspective: HTTP returns 200, your uptime monitor is happy, your TLS cert hasn't moved, and the CMS logs show a "successful" content update from a legitimate-looking session. The signal is on the rendered page, not in the metrics. I run a site at hi3ris.blue
The same AI that detects threats in milliseconds can be manipulated with a single sentence. There's a quiet revolution happening inside every modern Security Operations Center. It doesn't wear a hoodie. It doesn't sleep. It processes 10 million events per second without blinking. It's AI — and it's now your most powerful analyst, your fastest threat hunter, and your most complex attack surface all
