You are probably gonna hate me for the title of this blogpost, but, here is a quick peek into one of the most surprising components of our @DARPA AIxCC CRS: DiscoveryGuy. support.shellphish.net/blog/2025/09/0… (Planning to publish a few more of these "quick peek" into the system 👀)
Checkout the Post-Mortem of our system ARTIPHISHELL (by @degrigis and I)! We look at a few issues that kept @shellphish from a top-3 spot in @DARPA’s AIxCC: support.shellphish.net/blog/2025/08/2… Keep your eyes out for more ARTIPHISHELL content in the future!
The second post in my AIxCC series is out. This one breaks down the rules and scoring—key to understanding why teams built their systems the way they did. It also analyzes teams results and why some of them found less vulns but were scored higher! algillera.substack.com/p/aixcc-series…

Back at Defcon after years away. The highlight? DARPA’s AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC). It blew me away—and inspired me to launch a new personal blog. I'm doing a series of posts about AIxCC. The first one is out: algillera.substack.com/aixcc-series-i…

Here’s the source code of our #AIxCC winning team @TeamAtlanta24, enjoy! github.com/Team-Atlanta/a… More things TBA
we hijacked microsoft's copilot studio agents and got them to spill out their private knowledge, reveal their tools and let us use them to dump full crm records these are autonomous agents.. no human in the loop #DEFCON #BHUSA @tamirishaysh
Is there any playlist with the songs played between talks at @BlackHatEvents. They are soooo cool!
Really cool talk at Blackhat to train models on a specific task, in this case malware development bypassing AVS. Single purpose model are way better than general ones. Model was released: outflank.nl/blog/2025/08/0…
Convirtiendo un cuadrado en un triángulo equilátero
One of my all-time favorite type of videos is pre-fame bands playing their extremely famous songs to a tiny room of people, because they're not yet known. A thread of some examples: Bastille playing Pompeii in what looks like someone's living room:

Fuzzing Windows Defender in the Honggfuzz+IntelPT (hardware) mode scrapco.de/blog/fuzzing-w… by @buherator
Thrilled to announce my new Project Zero blog post is LIVE! 🎉 I detail my knowledge-driven fuzzing process to find sandbox escape vulnerabilities in CoreAudio on MacOS. I'll talk about this and the exploitation process next week @offensive_con! googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2025/05/breaki…

Wrote about a novel technique that leverages the well-known Device Code #phishing approach. It dynamically initiates the flow as soon as the victim opens the phishing link and instantly redirects them to the authentication page. Capable to bypass #fido denniskniep.github.io/posts/09-devic…
Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:
