You should come to my upcoming BlackHat talk on how we did this while avoiding false positives :D

https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/#ai-agents...

You should publish the paper quietly here (I'm a Black Hat reviewer, FWIW) so people can see where you're coming from.

I know you've been on HN for awhile, and that you're doing interesting stuff; HN just has a really intense immune system against vendor-y stuff.

  • Yeah, it's been very strange being on the other side of that after 10 years in academia! But it's totally reasonable for people to be skeptical when there's a bunch of money sloshing around.

    I'll see if I can get time to do a paper to accompany the BH talk. And hopefully the agent traces of individual vulns will also help.

I remember your work on seeding vulnerabilities into C programs. I didnt know you got into AI-assisted pentesting. I already have more confidence in the product. :)
