A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from the foundation model where they will inherit its refusals. For this project we've post-trained a…

    Hi HN, I'm Jay and my cofounder and I have been working on RESTfender to help connect and secure IoT devices. Would love to hear feedback. While there are some IoT platforms out there, we're focusing primarily on the problem of botnets and managing devices. We use machine learning to track and automatically categorize bots. The app: https://app.restfender.com Website: https://restfender.com IoT Camera example: https://iot-cam.restfender.com (the goal is to find a place to attract more attention like a bird nest, hamster on a wheel, hummingbird feeder, etc.)
