The Hacking APIs Conference is back for 2026!

HAC NYC returns May 14th. CFP is open.

Got a live API hack? A breach case study? Research that made a security team sweat? Submit it.

Vulnerabilities that shipped. Exploits that worked. Defenses that held.

[Dave Kennedy @HackingDave]

Who's going to be there?!?! Who's coming to the booth? See some cool shit that's never been done before and get free hugs (if you want a hug). Hugs must have two approvers in order for the merge request to succeed.

The first official Hermes Desktop plugin is Kanban, now desktop native by popular request and significantly upgraded.

A plugin can add its own page, sidebar row, hotkeys, status bar actions, and backend endpoints. You can write your own plugin or import one using the SDK.

After 20 years chasing ransomware gangs for other people and organizations, I'm finally doing it doing it under my own company.

Launching Arkem Cyber today. Not another IOC feed, not another framework, original research on the adversary, built for the humans who have to make the call.

Also, I don't have a graphic designer, so forgive the logo. I made it myself, between getting this thing off the ground.

If you're a security leader who's tired of dashboards that can't answer "so what do we do about it?", let's talk: https://t.co/isJZYiCnBa

After three years of teaching, building, and testing on real world targets... @arcanuminfosec is almost ready to unleash the AI fleet. Stay Tuned 👀

[JS0N Haddix @Jhaddix]

Best watch out... @arcanuminfosec is coming ...

From now until after @defcon we will be announcing:

- CLASS GIVEAWAYS
- New products
- New open source resources
- SWAG drops for the CON
- and so. much. more.

Check out ai-surface, the latest free tool from @apisec_ai and @apisecu. It maps eight categories of AI attack surface straight from your source code.

Agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and 13 more), with tool inventories and flags on financial, destructive, and high-blast-radius authority. MCP servers, discovered and audited. Vector stores and RAG across 13 backends, flagging the ingestion paths that make up your poisoning surface. LLM call sites across 13 providers. API endpoints with the object-id segments that need BOLA review. Model gateways, AI infrastructure from Kubernetes to Terraform, and provider keys by name only, values never read.
Deepest today for Python and TypeScript/JavaScript. Runs offline. Nothing leaves your machine.

Seeing the surface is step one. Proving what an attacker can exploit at runtime is the harder problem, and that is our work at APIsec.
Repo and install below. If it is useful, give it a ⭐ on GitHub.
pip install apisec-ai-surface

big thanks to everyone who hung out with us for @_ContinuumCon_ today
see you tomorrow for more fun ✌️

If you signed up for a career in cybersecurity you signed up for a career of continuous learning. Learning in this field doesn’t end with a cert, a degree, or a job offer, it never ends.

Woo, I can confirm "Can AI Do Novel Security Research? Meet the HTTP Terminator" is coming to @defcon! This research was a huge gamble and the result was glorious, can't wait to share!
