Red-Teaming the Agentic Red-Team
What you will learn:
The use of agentic systems to perform offensive security operations has moved from a theoretical possibility to a commoditized capability. However, while the community has focused on creating more and more capable agents, less attention has been allocated to assessing the security of those systems. In this work, we present the first in-depth security analysis of the most widely used agentic systems for offensive security operations. We show that most of these tools share common design flaws that enable an active adversary to exfiltrate API keys, establish persistent footholds, and fully compromise the operator's machine, even when the agent operates inside a sandboxed container. To support our analysis, we introduce a full cyber kill chain for such agentic systems, capturing the progression from initial LLM manipulation to lateral movement, persistence, guardrail bypass, and sandbox escape. Building on our security analysis, we derive a robust architecture for agentic offensive-security tools and propose actionable, broadly applicable design principles that mitigate the disclosed attack paths at the architectural level.
Rise of the Pond Master - Jailbreaking tales with big ducks energy
What you will learn:
In the ever-evolving arms race between AI developers and the underground hacking community, a new breed of jailbreak artist has emerged — one fueled by absurdity, persistence, and unapologetic "big ducks energy." This talk chronicles the rise of Pond Master, an unorthodox yet highly effective jailbreaking methodology that turns LLM guardrails into playgrounds through creative prompting, psychological manipulation, and relentless experimentation.
