Open Threat Research

Empowering the InfoSec Community through Open Source projects and collaboration!

[Roberto Rodriguez 🇵🇪 @Cyb3rWard0g]

⚡️ In an effort to augment existing @OTR_Community projects with AI, @Cyb3rPandaH and I are extending the @HunterPlaybook using Agent Skills 🤖 to describe known workflows and leverage progressive disclosure, so agents access the right knowledge at the right time.

🏹 The hunt lifecycle (plan ➡️ execute ➡️ report) needs structure, and we recently took some time to show how the planning stage can be expressed as Agent Skills using @code and GitHub Copilot, together with @tavilyai and @Microsoft Sentinel Data Lake MCP Servers 🔥.

🙏 That moment when you realize that what started as a weekend curiosity to learn more about agentic systems 🤖 has become a project others find useful and in innovative ❤️ Thank you @diagridio and @bibryam for sharing! @daprdev Agents!

[Roberto Rodriguez 🇵🇪 @Cyb3rWard0g]

❤️ Happy to share my journey in creating an AI Agentic Workflow Engine with @daprdev for developer-friendly, code-first workflows, agent orchestration, state management, and communication.

⚡️ Building my own AI Agentic framework was an incredibly rewarding experience, leading to the creation of project Floki 👁‍🗨!

🎉 I’m also very excited to announce that I’ve decided to donate the Floki codebase to the @daprdev project and am partnering with the Dapr community to evolve it further. Today, Dapr also launched "Dapr Agents" 🤖 the evolution of Floki, and I’m very proud to see it join the Dapr community ❤️! #opensource #AI #Dapr @OTR_Community

🚀 Finishing the long weekend by completing Unit 1: AI Agents Fundamentals from @huggingface 🎓. I learn best by coding, so I’m sharing my notebooks that help me cover some of the fundamentals in each unit! 🤗

📚 Repo: https://t.co/FcpXtFszwo

📝 My Unit 1 notes cover:
✅ Downloading & setting up SmolLM2 locally
✅ Performing next token prediction
✅ Defining tools for agents
✅ Writing ToolCalling & ReAct agents from scratch with transformers 🐍 & SmolLM2 🤖

🔜 Excited to dive into the next units and share more! Follow along for more! ✨ @OTR_Community

[Roberto Rodriguez 🇵🇪 @Cyb3rWard0g]

✨ Early registration for #BHUSA 2025 trainings is now open 😎 Whether you're defining POCs, MVPs, or requirements for agentic systems, my class will give you hands-on experience and dive into core components of agentic workflows to build adaptive, autonomous systems for any security challenge 💜

📢 Just a reminder ⚡️ There is still time to apply for these exciting roles on my team! Applications are accepted until January 12, 2025 🗓️!

✨We’re looking to proactively explore AI in offensive security operations, improve our simulation environments (agentic playgrounds), and continue researching and enabling autonomy to defend Microsoft! 🌎

[Roberto Rodriguez 🇵🇪 @Cyb3rWard0g]

✨Before the year ends, I’m super excited to share that my team continues to grow! 🤖

As a firm believer that offense informs defense and vice versa 💜, our Autonomous Defense and Protection Team (ADAPT) is proactively exploring how AI can enrich offensive security operations ⚡️.

We’re also continuing to invest in elevating our simulation environment infrastructure to support agentic playgrounds and simulate attack scenarios for both training and evaluation of AI systems ⚔️. Last but not least, we continue to invest in enabling autonomy to defend our organization 🦾🛡️.

📢I’m hiring for 4⃣ exciting roles:

🔥 Principal Security Researcher: An experienced Red Team Operator with engineering expertise who will collaborate with applied scientists to leverage LLMs and agentic systems to identify and operationalize adversary techniques. 👉 https://t.co/4Z4NQuPj3A

🤖 Principal Offensive AI Scientist: Drive innovation using AI to enhance offensive security capabilities while partnering with experienced offensive security researchers. 👉 https://t.co/nvVQSqmcXo

⚔️ Principal Security Engineer: Build secure, scalable environments for attack simulations, supporting agentic playgrounds and realistic adversary scenarios. 👉 https://t.co/aw4rJUIqXN

🤖 Principal Applied Scientist: Design AI-driven workflows to enable autonomy and tackle complex security challenges. 👉 https://t.co/ALmSC9a7pO

Positions are 100% remote and US-based (potential expansion for the right candidate). Microsoft will accept applications for the role until January 12, 2025, 🗓️. #Cybersecurity #LLM #AIAgents #GenAI #GenerativeAI #AI #hiring #redteam #blueteam
