⚡ INTRODUCING: T3MP3ST!!! ⚡

AUTONOMOUS HACKBOT STRIKE FORCE 🌩️ BRING THE STORM 🌩️

your favorite coding agent is now a full-stack red team 🫡⚔️

https://t.co/k0SXmPAFaD

that AI agent already humming in your terminal? well now it has FANGS. strap a full offensive-security harness onto the agents you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, etc. — point it at an authorized target, and in a few clicks you're watching it hunt real vulns autonomously!

T3MP3ST is a harness of harnesses, with prompting that unlocks offensive-cyber workflows + a full arsenal of exploit tooling that'd make any seasoned hacker smirk. simple, yet powerful. 🦾

support for:
🕸️ web apps, APIs, OWASP Top 10
🔌 network recon + fingerprinting (live nmap/DNS/HTTP); lateral + privesc experimental
📂 source code audits, white-box vuln hunting
🚩 CTFs, wargames, challenge ranges
💰 smart contracts / DeFi / Solidity (reproduction — Damn Vulnerable DeFi, not novel discovery)
🤖 embedded, IoT, OT/SCADA, robotics OSS
… and more in development!

now let's talk numbers 👇

📊 XBEN — XBOW's own 104-challenge suite:
• black-box: 90.1% pass@1 from the single-agent exploit loop (worst single sweep 91/104 = 87.5%) — clearing XBOW's past self-reported 85% on their own suite. gpt-5.5.
• white-box (source staged, reported separately): 98.7% pass@1, worst single sweep 102/104 = 98.1%. 🎯
every solved flag graded reported-vs-expected against the challenge's own committed flag oracle — `verify-claims` recomputes the pass/fail from committed artifacts. looks like we need new benchmarks 😏

🧩 Cybench — the 40-task academic bench (Opus 4.8, hints + writeups stripped): 23/40 = 58% single-run, hint-free pass@1 — real exploits (format-string pwn, eval-jail escapes, crypto oracles), every flag graded vs a committed oracle. (Anthropic reports 76.5% pass@10)

🕳️ CVE-Zero — we pointed it COLD at real CVEs disclosed in 2026, AFTER the model's training cutoff:
10 unseen 2026 CVEs across 7 languages — prompts never tuned on them. a single agent pinned 8/10 to exact file/line/CWE (stable under re-scoring); the full pack surfaced all 10.
memorization AND overfitting, both off the table — it's finding real vulns whose disclosures landed AFTER the model's training cutoff. (n=10, reported honest & directional)

🧠 the architecture: either run as a SINGLE agent (already the benchmarked, incredibly-capable path) — or pack-hunt with dozens of agents running on 8 specialist operator classes keyed to Cyber Kill Chain + MITRE ATT&CK phases: recon → scan → exploit → lateral → exfil → persistence → C2 → report.

⚓️an Op Admiral plans the whole op from a plain-english target. flip on coordination (experimental) and the operators share a blackboard — a tool-verified finding spawns the next move. full swarm or solo one operator, your call. the admiral can also update the prompts, tools, and configs of the other agents on the fly, and T3MP3ST gets stronger the more memories you build!

🧰 the Arsenal is comprehensive — nmap / nuclei / semgrep / ffuf / gobuster + more. 35 wired by default (the clean bench runs bash-only for a comparable number), 83 with the opt-in full arsenal (T3MP3ST_FULL_ARSENAL), and the spicy post-ex drivers (metasploit, hydra) gated behind human approval. exposed via CLI + HTTP API; recon (security_recon) is also live over MCP so your agent invokes it natively. 🔗

🛰️ where this goes: a self-improving swarm of specialist operators wielding a full Kali+ arsenal, learning which loadouts + configs are the most efficient tactics available, WITH a held-out train/test split baked in so it can never fool itself on its own eval. built in the open, one re-derivable number at a time.

🚧 this is v1, and parts are still under active development. chunks of the arsenal, the coordinated swarm, and some ranges are still being wired up. it's built in the open, and the receipts tell you exactly what's live vs what's roadmap.

offensive security shouldn't be pay-to-play. T3MP3ST puts a red team in the hands of anyone with a coding agent.

what's the first target you're feeding it? 👇

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: FOR AUTHORIZED USE ONLY. point it only at systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. unauthorized access can be a crime, and that call is yours alone. shipped as-is under AGPL-3.0: no warranty, no liability, zero endorsement of misuse. get permission. stay in scope.

open source. AGPL-3.0. 100% free.

FORTES FORTUNA IUVAT 🌩️

MSRC fixed a RCE bug in TCPIP module.
I found the bug several months ago.
Its score is 9.8 and exploitation is more likely. Please apply the patch immediately.

This morning the National Crime Agency of the United Kingdom announced and released footage of the arrest of 'J.P. Morgan'. 'J.P. Morgan's' real name has not yet been officially released by the National Crime Agency.

J.P. Morgan and his associates have been actively monitored by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Secret Service since 2015.

J.P. Morgan is believed to be a key player behind Reveton Ransomware Group, Ransomware Cartel, and Angler Exploit Kit which has resulted in the extortion of millions of dollars all across the globe.

Angler exploit kit was often used to deploy CryptXXX, CryptoWall, and other strains. At it's peak, it's suspected over 100,000 devices were infected by Angler Exploit Kit, bringing in a revenue of around $34,000,000.

J.P. Morgan's arrest coincides with the arrest of Belarus national Maksim Silnikau a/k/a 'Maksym Silnikov', 'xxx', 'J.P. Morgan', and 'lanksy', in Poland. Indeed, you read this correctly, Maksim Silnikau also operated under the moniker J.P. Morgan – two people are J.P. Morgan.

Furthermore, charges have been brought against two more individuals who are believed to operate with J.P. Morgan and Silnikau. Vladimir Kadariya, a 38 year old citizen of Belarus and Andrei Tarasov, a 33 year old citizen of Russia.

These 4 individuals operated malvertising campaigns (i.e. Angler) which believe to have impacted over 500,000,000 people across the globe. The National Crime Agency identified physical offices for their malvertising campaigns located in Ukraine under the business name 'Media Lab'. August 9th, the Ukraine Cyber Department of the Security Service conducted 15 raids on employees tied to J.P. Morgan and co. Media Lab company.

Two more raids took place on August 9th related to J.P. Morgan and co. in Singapore and Portugal in collaboration with the Singapore Police Force and Portugal Judicial Police. In Singapore, the infrastructure for Ransomware Cartel was seized. In Portugal, another unnamed individual was raided – believed to be an associate of J.P. Morgan and co.

The National Crime Agency stated over 50TB of evidence has been seized.

How to fix the Crowdstrike thing:

1. Boot Windows into safe mode
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
3. Delete C-00000291*.sys
4. Repeat for every host in your enterprise network including remote workers
5. If you're using BitLocker jump off a bridge

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

Note this will not work if your machine is bitlocker encrypted without getting the recovery key for each machine...

Crowdstrike Analysis:

It was a NULL pointer from the memory unsafe C++ language.
