What it does

cveplayground.com is a hands-on platform built to help people actually understand real-world vulnerabilities. The goal is simple, learn vulnerabilities by thinking through them, not just reading about them.

Hands-on cybersecurity learning platform. Reproduce real CVEs in guided labs, read deep-dive writeups, and learn the patterns behind the patches.

Learn real-world vulnerabilities like RCE, SQL injection, SSRF, authentication bypass, and race conditions through hands-on sandbox labs based on actual CVEs and upstream fix commits. Next.js WebSocket-Upgrade SSRF via Absolute-Form Request URI CVE Playground is built for people who want to understand how vulnerabilities break in real code, how patches fix them, and what patterns to recognize next time. Follow the CVE briefing, inspect vulnerable code paths, understand the exploit chain, and study the patch through guided prompts and explanations. Enter the environment with minimal guidance, analyze the target yourself, and solve the challenge through your own reasoning and exploitation…from cveplayground.com

    Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

  • Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
