    Inside Offensive AI: From MCP Servers To Real Security Risks

    Send us a text Security gets sharper when we stop treating AI like magic and start treating it like an untrusted user. We sit down with Eric Galinkin to unpack the real-world ways red teams and defenders are using language models today, where they fall apart, and how to build guardrails that hold up under pressure. From MCP servers that look a lot like ordinary APIs to the messy truths of model hallucination, this conversation trades buzzwords for practical patterns you can apply right now. Eric shares takeaways from Offensive AI Con: how models help triage code and surface likely bug classes, why decomposed workflows beat “find all vulns” prompts, and what happens when toy benchmarks meet stubborn, real binaries. We explore reinforcement learning environments as a scalable way to train security behaviors without leaking sensitive data, and we grapple with the uncomfortable reality that jailbreaks aren’t going away—so output validation, sandboxing, and principled boundaries must do the heavy lifting. We also dig into Garak, the open-source system security scanner that targets LLM-integrated apps where it hurts: prompted cross-site scripting, template injection in Jinja, and OS command execution. By mapping findings to CWE, Garak turns vague model “misbehavior” into concrete fixes tied to known controls. Along the way, we compare GPT, Claude, and Grok, talk through verification habits to counter confident nonsense, and zoom out on careers: cultivate niche depth, stay broadly literate, and keep your skepticism calibrated. If you’ve ever wondered how to harness AI without handing it the keys to prod, this one’s for you. Enjoyed the episode?

    Your AI is not as secure as you think it is, and here's why

    Send us a text David Brockler, AI security researcher at NCC Group, explores the rapidly evolving landscape of AI security and the fundamental challenges posed by integrating Large Language Models into applications. We discuss how traditional security approaches fail when dealing with AI components that dynamically change their trustworthiness based on input data. • LLMs present unique security challenges beyond prompt injection or generating harmful content • Traditional security models focusing on component-based permissions don't work with AI systems • "Source-sink chains" are key vulnerability points where attackers can manipulate AI behavior • Real-world examples include data exfiltration through markdown image rendering in AI interfaces • Security "guardrails" are insufficient first-order controls for protecting AI systems • The education gap between security professionals and actual AI threats is substantial • Organizations must shift from component-based security to data flow security when implementing AI • Development teams need to ensure high-trust AI systems only operate with trusted data Watch for NCC Group's upcoming release of David's Black Hat presentation on new security fundamentals for AI and ML systems.

    The Future of AI: Security, Ethics, and Human Augmentation

    Send us a text Artificial intelligence is developing at unprecedented speed, becoming a transformative force that may rival nuclear technology in its impact on human civilization. The rapid evolution of AI capabilities presents both extraordinary opportunities and profound challenges that we're only beginning to understand. • AI development is accelerating faster than any previous technology, with research papers becoming outdated within weeks or months • Current AI systems function primarily as prediction engines rather than truly conscious entities, despite sometimes exhibiting behaviors that appear sentient • Companies often implement AI solutions without clearly understanding the problems they're trying to solve or the technology's actual capabilities • AI regulation is developing globally, with the EU currently leading efforts to establish comprehensive frameworks and security standards • Most organizations will benefit more from using AI to augment human capabilities rather than attempting to replace workers entirely • The cybersecurity job market has become increasingly competitive, with automation making application processes more challenging for job seekers • When looking for jobs on LinkedIn, changing the URL parameter from 84,000 to 3,600 helps find postings from the last hour instead of the last 24 hours Connect with Chris Cochran on LinkedIn to learn more about his work in AI and cybersecurity or to request assistance with making connections in the field.
