  • Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports

    It’s not just LLM generated security reports, but vulnerabilities discovered by AI. Your wording implies they were just reports, and of less validity. Lazy LLM reports are not what he is trying to cope with, since there is nothing to do but close those reports. He is talking about real, verified, vulnerabilities that weren’t discovered until AI tools. Not because humans couldn’t find them, but none ever did. When it comes to finding, it really doesn’t matter if it’s found by human or AI, since that doesn’t change its existence or severity.



  • The point is that AI is developing at an insane rate. They don’t specify, because you would always have to be naming new things every other week, by the very nature of the statement. Things AI was not able to do a month ago, it may be able to do incredibly well now.

    If you want an example, AI in security vulnerabilities has made quite a breakthrough recently. Not just Mythos, but multiple AI’s are finding 15+ year old vulnerabilities in open source packages basically the entire world relies on. It couldn’t do that a few months ago.












  • His blog posts share his side of the story, but Microsoft has not made any comments about what happened.

    From March 26:

    I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new github account to drop code…

    But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.

    Then on April 15:

    Normally, I would go through the process of begging them to fix a bug but to summarize, I was told personally by them that they will ruin my life and they did and I’m not sure if I was the only who had this horride experience or few people did but I think most would just eat it and cut their losses but for me, they took away everything. They mopped the floor with me and pulled every childish game they could. It was soo bad at some point I was wondering if I was dealing with a massive corporation or someone who is just having fun seeing me suffer but it seems to be a collective decision.

    And one other thing, they do everything but support the research community, I won’t disclose details but they sabotage people a lot. I mean just look at the past, Microsoft is the only major company who had a track of multiple vulnerabilities being publicly disclosed just because the researchers were soo upset by how MSRC treated them.

    Unfortunately, the folks who have the capacity to stop those disclosures, not only don’t care but also seems to push harder for worst exploits to be released, I didn’t want to be evil but they are actively poking me to start releasing RCEs which I will be doing at some point…

    I will personally make sure that it gets funnier every single time Microsoft releases a patch.

    There was a comment on the first post that I feel like is pretty on point, though a bit arm chair psychologist:

    You’re a smart guy. Maybe a savant. Just wondering if you’re BiPolar (like me) and see a different reality than what is real. Been there.
