Every time someone tells me they work in "offense" I have to ask -- do you mean defense-offense (offense done only for defensive purposes) or do you mean actual offensive operations?
We managed to find a way to backdoor the next release of OpenAI Codex ๐ฅ
This is the best exploit chain Iโve ever witnessed

Tomorrow I'll be walking through the Kubernetes nodes/proxy permission attack path on stage at @KubeCon_ .
Here is the tool I created during the disclosure process as my POC || GTFO.
It allows you to spread through an entire cluster using the techniques I'm discussing.
A friend and ex coworker @martin_vigo 's DEFCON talk on hacking Amazon lockers is finally on YouTube. It's such a fun, excellent, pure hacker ethos talk... I highly recommend it, and definitely watch to the end... https://t.co/4tOJ844gns
@techspence posted something on another platform that hit home:
For every unimportant thing that is fixed or made a priority, something truly critical gets moved down the list.
Sometimes people have asked me โwhatโs the harm when media frenzy, marketing buzz, or knee-jerk reactions cause a topic that is not really a thing to take center stage (think agent swarms in toasters).
The harm is that all of those conversations, thoughts, and actions were about something unimportant, and were not about Winter2026! as a password, unmanaged devices, misconfigurations, users running as local admin, password stored in the clear, and so onโฆ
Every time we make something unimportant take center stage, what should be center stage does not, and the attacker gains an advantage. It is like skipping a turn in a card game. Make a habit of skipping turns, and you will lose.
This has also been pointed out repeatedly by @ZackKorman, @UK_Daniel_Card, @Shammahwoods, @IceSolst, @christian_tail, and so many others here.
