What it does

OpenShield is a new-generation security layer for AI models—a transparent proxy between your application and your AI model(s). You don't need to modify your code. You can keep it simple!

Protect your AI models against OWASP Top 10 LLM attacks. Prompt injection prevention, output validation, model denial-of-service protection, and real-time threat detection.

A transparent proxy firewall designed specifically for AI models. OpenShield provides rate limiting, content filtering, keyword filtering, and tokenizer calculation to protect against OWASP Top 10 LLM attacks and malicious AI usage. Protect against crafted inputs that manipulate LLMs to gain unauthorized access, cause data breaches, or compromise decision-making. Validate LLM outputs to prevent downstream security exploits, including code execution that compromises systems and exposes data. Detect tampered training data that could impair LLM models and lead to compromised security, accuracy, or ethical behavior. Prevent overloading LLMs with resource-heavy operations that cause service…from gen0sec.com

  • We post-trained a model that pen tests instead of refusingJun 2026 · argusred.com · ▲93

    Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. 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…

  • Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
