Linux Sudo Privilege Escalation Methods — 7 Techniques + GTFOBins Guide
I find a sudo misconfiguration on at least half of the Linux systems I assess. Not because organisations are careless — most have intentional sudo rules for legitimate operational reasons. The problem is that those rules were written by someone who understood the intended use case but didn't know about GTFOBins. Every sudo rule that lets a user run a binary capable of spawning a shell, reading arbitrary files, or writing to privileged paths is a potential privilege escalation path.…
AI-Powered Exploit Code Generation — From CVE to PoC in Seconds
My workflow for analysing a new CVE used to take three to four hours from reading the advisory to having a working proof-of-concept for lab testing. In 2026, the same workflow takes forty minutes, and most of that is environment setup, not code. AI tools have changed the PoC development phase specifically — reading the vulnerability description, understanding the affected code path, and drafting the initial exploit structure are now tasks where an LLM provides the first draft that I…
AI Jailbreaking — Complete Guide to Safety Training Bypass, DAN Variants and Token-Level Attacks | Day15

How AI and LLMs are discovering zero-days faster than human researchers in 2026
In 2024, a research team at Google DeepMind used an AI system called AlphaCode 2 to discover a zero-day vulnerability in the SQLite database. The system identified a buffer overflow that had been present in the codebase for years and had been missed by decades of human review and traditional fuzzing. My framing on AI vulnerability discovery: the human researcher is no longer the rate-limiting factor in finding bugs. The rate-limiting factor is now compute and clever prompting. For bug…

What Is AI Red Teaming — The Beginner’s Complete Breakdown
⚠️ Professional Practice Only: AI red teaming is a professional security discipline. All techniques, frameworks, and methodologies covered here are for application in authorised security engagements only. Unauthorised security testing of any system is illegal. I got asked to run an "AI red team" for a financial services client last year. Their definition of what they wanted was, roughly: "hack our AI and tell us if it's safe." My definition, developed over a dozen prior engagements, was something considerably more…
