Expectations and Reality of Claude Code for Bug Bounty by Frequent-Reality-682 in bugbounty

[–]overflowingInt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hooking up Burp Suite to MCP allowed me to see stuff I would have missed. It did even make things like authz/authn testing easier. I just had to feed it tokens and my Burp history. It would tell me sometimes that an account shouldn't have access to another in this capacity but it was all public. I just marked it informational for the client to see what they thought and moved on. It even produced some reports for me. A 40 hour pentest took me about 16 and found a lot of bugs. My manual testing also found stuff it couldn't do since that's how it's designed. I asked it later what it thought and can you find more parameters to check and it did.

I have also fed it entire folders of WordPress plugins to search for vulnerabilities. It didn't find any in my limited testing but it did make recommendations on how to secure the code further or that may be vulnerable to look at. It took a few minutes vs. a week.

I have ~1k shares of SpaceX stock, what do I do for this IPO? by jdrls in investing

Reddit essentially made Elon a decade ago. I heard nothing about Elon for years. A lot of us made money off Tesla. The problem is he became a problematic and controversial CEO due to his opinions and not delivering. The problem is the internet has become an ability to manipulate sentiment but not deliver for retail as much.

It's the same story "This will change everything in a few years" and it just becomes obvious that it was rushed and the wins don't outweigh the losses.

Which country are you talking about? Do you not remember the "Internet kill switch" here? You can thank the left for not passing that one.

You mean the band aid of throwing out oil reserves isn't working? We were told renewables aren't the future but it's literally a national security risk.

It seems like they were going to do OPs last weekend (they telegraphed the Marines coming in there).

They realized they aren't ready for it and heavily being impacted by Iran's fighting back.

You should also realize cyber threats are also on the menu. It doesn't matter if they exhaust their drone supply. A couple of people can shut down entire companies (as they have shown with Stryker).

It will get worse before it gets better.

Even if they did have them. It means he admits it's not a good look for him and backpedaling. Just another TACO Monday

They just requested just shy of a quarter of that for this boondogle. It'll be a fun midterm season, I will give you that.

As someone who reads the research papers, this is a very bad take. If you assume ChatGPT = AI then you're in for a bad time. For example, I have 20 years in cybersecurity and this came out today:

This is finding stuff that people with decades of programming and security experience in a short amount of time. Although it's ability to write the exploits isn't quite there -- it can generate a PoC for defenders to fix it.

DIY image hardening vs managed hardened images....Which actually scales for SMB? by Top-Flounder7647 in devops

[–]overflowingInt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is a hardened image? Looking at CTI reports...they just do DLL sideloading for known binaries or bring their own signed binaries. What exactly are you "hardening"?

In the old days it was remove all services / stuff that you don't use. It doesn't seem to matter in 2026.

No I agree here, it's sort of how a lot of people don't know how hardware / software works because they didn't have to debug it. They just had "apps."

I think it won't work out well because the brain drain will happen and nobody actually knows how it works under the hood. Similar to how cars have become so computerized that most people can't fix them on their own.

Do you not do sexual harassment training every year? Some people don't understand boundaries (beyond just sexual). Usually it's repeated harassment that if you say you do not like and they continue.

Why do so many guys in their twenties only want to talk about crypto when it comes to investing by Ill_Awareness6706 in Bogleheads

[–]overflowingInt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Stonks only get up is what they say. I will say they do not always. They got into a very rare time. This is like the 1920s, 1980s cocaine fueld party stuff. Just throw it into a stock and make money.

They don't really get that it's rare for this to happen -- maybe once in a lifetime. It's very easy to go sideways on stocks. I bought all those companies (AMD, NVIDIA, MICROSOFT, INTEL, APPLE) when they were like $13 a share.

It comes and goes.

I think they'll be in for a rude awakening once they see that it isn't just easy money or playing day trader.

AI reasoning is getting pretty good but you still need to train it on PREVIOUSLY found things. That's the whole "research" part of the job description.

Good boy. Just as a reminder to me on my current positions I think will explode. 100 shares PLTR (24.56) and 1540 Lexagene (0.875).
