Spoiler alert: Your AI safety measures might have a blind spot. 👀 When attackers use conversation context to bypass LLM safeguards, single-prompt evals just don't cut it anymore. Dive into @atomicchonk.bsky.social's latest blog on multi-prompt attack detection. ghst.ly/47qJhzn

This One Weird Trick: Multi-Prompt LLM Jailbreaks (Safeguards Hate It!) - SpecterOps

Using multiple prompts within the context of a conversation with an LLM can lead to safeguard bypasses. Learn about safeguards evaluations at scale.

New blog post is up! Stepping out of my comfort zone (be kind), looking at Meta's Prompt Guard 2 model, how to misclassify prompts using the Unigram tokenizer and hopefully demonstrate why we should invest time looking beyond the API at how LLMs function. specterops.io/blog/2025/06...

Tokenization Confusion - SpecterOps

Meta's Prompt Guard 2 aims to prevent prompt injection. This post looks at how much knowledge of ML we need to be effective at testing these LLM WAFs.

Just wrapped up a blog post on understanding BadSuccesor from a DACL abuse aspect and mitigating it from a DACL abuse perspective. Also added some PowerShell on my GitHub to create and remove the mitigations.

BadSuccessor is a new AD attack primitive that abuses dMSAs, allowing an attacker who can modify or create a dMSA to escalate privileges and take over the forest. Check out @jimsycurity.adminsdholder.com's latest blog post to understand how you can mitigate risk. ghst.ly/4kXTLd9

Always enjoy the views in Seattle! Spent excellent quality time with teammates and received amazing training. Now for a weekend of running and resting back home before new travels next week ✈️

I’ve had to beat stubbornness out of my training. When I ran 10+ yrs ago I’d just hard-head my way forward but wind up injured. This time I’m focused on the goals ahead; nagging aches mean a rest day tomorrow so I can live to run later this week and keep this train moving to Oct (and beyond)

Initial stab at using Chris Hayuk's mcp-cli tool to pair roadrecon_mcp_server with a locally-hosted model (in this case, mistral-small3.1). Note that running this query took over 300s so YMMV depending on several factors. Will update GH this week with instructions on replicating this.

Think NTLM relay is a solved problem? Think again. Relay attacks are more complicated than many people realize. Check out this deep dive from Elad Shamir on NTLM relay attacks & the new edges we recently added to BloodHound. ghst.ly/4lv3E31

Procrastinated long enough but the GPU upgrade happens next week. R&D goals finally forced it, so we’ll be grinding more MCP dev shortly. Goal is to get roadrecon_mcp_server FULLY local, reducing data privacy concerns on Azure data collection and where it resides. Local LLMs here I come.

Spent the evening deep diving into MCPs and started a new project: roadrecon_mcp_server! This #MCP takes the web GUI output from the awesome ROADtools by @dirkjanm.io and offers tools to Claude (or your #AI agent of choice) to interact with the data: github.com/atomicchonk/...
