    I noticed the growing security concerns around MCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43600192) and built an open source tool that can detect several patterns of tool poisoning attacks, exfiltration channels and cross-origin manipulations. MCP-Shield scans your installed servers (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) and shows what each tool is trying to do at the instruction level, beyond just the API surface. It catches hidden instructions that try to read sensitive files, shadow other tools' behavior, or exfiltrate data. Example of what it detects: - Hidden instructions…

    I remember watching the AlphaGo documentary in 2017. What stood out to me was that the model got drastically better when it started competing against itself. GANs clicked for me similarly: a generator and discriminator competing, and somehow the competition is what produces something remarkable. I've been curious whether this principle generalizes to today's agents. So mehulkalia and I built Browser Brawl at the YC / BrowserUse hackathon last weekend and won first place. It is a fun experiment in which an attacker agent tries to complete tasks on live websites while a defender agent…

    Hey all- I just released a New tab replacement Chrome extension that makes browsing a lot easier - it also solves many of the annoyances with browser tabs. It's called Yellopages and it's free. Hope you'll give it a try. * Groups all tabs from same domain. Makes it simple to kill all your Gmail tabs in one click (or keep just one). * Groups all tabs playing audio. Toggle the sound for each one. * Single text search for open tabs, bookmarks, and browsing history. * Groups all tabs with new notifications (e.g. emails, likes, posts, replies, etc.) * One click to kill all tabs (e.g. you're…

    A few months ago, the Exploratorium in San Francisco had its network compromised due to a phishing attack. An employee hurriedly filled out her credentials in what looked like a Google Docs sign-in but was actually a hacker's fake site. The hacker then used her credentials to steal 54 other employee passwords. Current solutions to phishing are limited to forcing employees to attend training to spot these hacks and attempting to judge the URL's reputation. People don't have time to pay attention to every url they click. This is especially true when faced with deadlines. Even the technical…

    I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD. I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink. Feedback is appreciated. The app, PRevent - https://github.com/apiiro/PRevent The ruleset: https://github.com/apiiro/malicious-code-ruleset The research:…

    Hey all I've been working on a website called GamingHerd that has spawned from dealing with so many cheaters in Valve's Counter-Strike 2. Watch this video if you're interested into the different scales of cheats that can be used, pretty much undetectable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox1mBxrVulk&ab_channel=HaiX Currently, Valve does not seem to have a viable solution for dealing with cheaters nor are they transparent about their intentions (I'm sure for good reason). I can only imagine the complexities they have to deal with, and at the same time there is a potential…

    Hello HN! A few days ago I saw a comment on reddit which proposed a service that allowed the user to spam a website's server logs with messages objecting to the presence of various anti-features like popups, noisy ads, and autoplaying content. The idea tickled my fancy, so I've put together a Chrome extension which detects if a page is using Google Analytics, and if so it injects a small script which sends bunk utm (urchin tracking module) data to the GA backend. It sets the traffic source to "DO NOT WANT!", and the campaign name to various things like "I do NOT want noisy ads!" Here's the…

    I've published an open specification for a detection method I'm calling RQ4 (Request Context Fingerprinting). It analyzes whether HTTP request headers are logically consistent with real browser behavior - not just what headers are present, but whether they make sense together given the request context.
