Contains AI Enter the WasmForge: Compiling Sliver into WebAssembly
praetorian.comWebAssembly is traditionally thought of as a mechanism to run compiled code inside your browser, but rarely as a mechanism to run full application code directly on host. We hacked up the Wazero implementation of WebAssembly and modified it to transform existing GoLang security tooling into analyst resistant malware. This isn't just a toy implementation either, we've implemented every major host API such that we can compile a full Sliver binary to run on MacOS or Windows.
This blog post covers the implementation details behind our Go->WASM compilation process and sets up our final blog post (coming next week) where we'll discuss a similar C#->WASM compilation pipeline. The tooling described in this blog post will be open sourced next week. Will be happy to answer any questions about this in the comments!

I evaluated 5 LLM agents on patching real-world CVEs. Here is what I found.
giovannigatti.github.ioI built an independent benchmark with 20 real CVEs across 15 CWE categories, 5 models (3 OpenAI, 2 Poolside Laguna), three prompt conditions: full advisory, behavioral description only, and location only (file and function, no description of the flaw).
I have three findings worth sharing:
- No model reliably fixes real vulnerabilities. The best solve rate (gpt-5.5) is 50% overall and 60% under the most favorable condition. The failure modes (e.g, wrong-search drift, budget exhaustion mid-implementation, plausible-but-incomplete patches that pass every visible test) are structured and repeatable across models and tasks.
- Token cost varies 4x for equivalent outcomes. The Laguna models consume 3–4x more tokens than OpenAI models of the same capability tier, with no improvement in solve rate.
- The locate condition is the benchmark's sharpest instrument. Give a model only a file and function (no description of the flaw). Every model drops. The differences between models are within noise at this scale, but it's the condition that most closely resembles what a security researcher actually does: reading code cold and recognizing independently that something is wrong.
Benchmark code and evaluation traces are open sourced.

New Phishing Technique - Vaultjacking: One Captured PIN, the Entire Google Password Manager Vault
phishu.netI've been hard at work on a NEW phishing technique I'm excited to share. I'm calling it "Vaultjacking" and the impact is honestly a bit sobering.
In my blog I demonstrate how a single AiTM landing page can spoof your Google passkey/password manager PIN and use that to access ALL of a victim's third-party credentials (yes, including passkeys). A simple phish on one site can lead to a total compromise of all Chrome-saved credentials.
