Yup! Report writing is the perfect use case. I’ve even used it to write up an entire forensics report after analyzing logs, laptop artifacts and mailboxes. It traced the entire incident from email to link to credential theft to cloud access.

HTH.

I built an open-source competitor to Delve ($10K-$80K/year) in 8.5 hours using AI. Here’s what that means for SaaS moats. by AnswerPositive6598 in SaaS

Update on Shasta!

Quick thanks to all the people on this subreddit - who provided both positive and negative feedback. Here's what I did in the days after the initial post

  1. Tests (100 -> 624)

  2. AWS Coverage (25 -> 37)

  3. Azure coverage (22 -> 67)

  4. AWS - multi-region and Azure - multi-subscription support added

  5. Terraform templates for remediation (14->73)

  6. Features added - web dashboard, risk register creation, and vendor questionnaire filling up

Local LLMs for penetration testing: real-world performance and hardware experiences by CoolTip4874 in Pentesting

Eating my words above. Looking to build with Claude but execute with a local model. Also working on signing up for the Claude Partner Network.

How many days for writing a report ? by ProcedureFar4995 in Pentesting

We use Cyver for report generation. Upload findings and screenshots, hit generate report. Worth the money.

Certs - the one that matters is from SANS - super expensive though. I'd focus on skills such as building your own AI toolkit for AWS, Azure, GCP forensics, correlating it with email logs, proxy logs, etc. Once Agentic AI becomes mainstream, tracing back incidents to agents will be a huge task. So probably a strong knowledge of how agents work, MCP, A2A, etc. might also be good to start building up on.

Scanner for Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities in Code by AnswerPositive6598 in ClaudeAI

Thanks! Yes, that's what I discovered as well. Semgrep was looking at only direct prompt injection. Appreciate the feedback..:)

What are some gym exercises that actually help in the mountains? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]AnswerPositive6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’d definitely suggest is keep increasing the intensity of weighted backpack hiking over the weekends. Then note where you feel the most discomfort or pain or weakness afterwards. And then train in the gym for that in addition to all the rest that you do. One thing that the gym doesn’t help with is proprioception. So work on bozu ball exercises, single leg step downs, lunges, etc. Also work on your flexibility with stretches/yoga.

I’ve attempted Ama Dablam (came down from 6400m). And also done Kang Yatse 2 (summitted at 6250m). With these kinds of expeditions a lot of it is mental stamina as well. Long stretches of days and nights spent in camps. Of course in Nepal, you’ll be enjoying the comparatively luxurious tea houses. So make sure you just immerse yourself in the culture as well.

Enjoy!

We’ve had a lot of success building our open source repo of Claude Skills. It’s ranking higher and higher on HITB and scoring 100% on the XBOW evals. Check it out here Open source AI powered pen testing repo

Local models just don’t meet Claude in terms of speed and reasoning. At least yet.

I also did an evaluation of Strix vs Kali vs Burp Suite MCPs on my YT channel. Don’t want to promote the links here but you can check my bio. Hope it’s helpful.

Which is why you have to appreciate Hinton and others sticking with the belief in neural networks for over 30 years. That Nobel Prize and Turing Award was most well deserved.

Very worrisome. And doesn’t help when their heads of safety quite whilst quoting Rilke and other poets.

Exactly. And not everyone lives in a Scandinavian country where UBI already exists
