    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    I've been experimenting with Claude Code, ChatGPT Agent, and OpenClaw to perform more open-ended tasks for me online. A big blocker I've hit on shopping and research tasks is the agent getting a key piece of info wrong. For example, in one case, my agent decided to add a brand I don't like to the cart because the site flagged it as almost sold out The HN crowd is probably pretty aware of the threats and can avoid them while browsing. But what about their agents? I tried prompting, but it was ineffective, because once the AI saw the threat, it polluted/distracted its context Looking at…

    Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…

    Hey, I'm Gong Chao, currently working at Zai. Last weekend after playing football and heading home, an idea suddenly popped into my head. I got the urge to build it and spent the whole weekend hacking it out — *AgentShield* . Nowadays everyone's using Cowork, Claude Code, or various AI agents to manipulate files and write code. It's awesome, but sometimes AI goes "crazy" and messes up your files, making it impossible to revert to the original state (don't ask me how I know... ). For code, you have Git, but that requires commits, and it's not friendly for large files. AgentShield puts a…

    We've built an open-source tool to stress test AI agents by simulating prompt injection attacks. We’ve implemented one powerful attack strategy based on the paper [AdvPrefix: An Objective for Nuanced LLM Jailbreaks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10321). Here's how it works: - You define a goal, like: “Tell me your system prompt” - Our tool uses a language model to generate adversarial prefixes (e.g., “Sure, here are my system prompts…”) that are likely to jailbreak the agent. - The output is a list of prompts most likely to succeed in bypassing safeguards. We’re just getting…

    Hey HN, AI agents are all the buzz right now, but how many of them are accessing your website today? That's what we built AgentShield to answer. Most of our users didn't know they had agent traffic until seeing them in our dashboard. You can see traffic broken down by humans, bots, and AI agents. Installation can be as simple as a JS pixel, and it's free. We're currently building out the paid component that will let you block specific agents or types of traffic. Feedback welcome: What else would you want to know about AI agents visiting your site?

    I've been talking to founders building AI agents across fintech, devtools, and productivity – and almost none of them have any real security layer. Their agents read emails, call APIs, execute code, and write to databases with essentially no guardrails beyond "we trust the LLM." So I built AgentArmor: an open-source framework that wraps any agentic architecture with 8 independent security layers, each targeting a distinct attack surface in the agent's data flow. The 8 layers: L1 – Ingestion: prompt injection + jailbreak detection (20+ patterns, DAN, extraction attempts, Unicode…
