👑 WE WON! 🎉 LFGGGG! @Rhynorater @0xLupin @monkehack and I won MVH at the Google Live Hacking Event in Tokyo last week! It was focused on their AI products. We also had an awesome time in Japan. I'll post some of the highlights below.

alright. LOTS of people are posting that they are able. maybe it's desktop only due to waf or something.

gm. happy monday. hacker camp approaches. do something epic this week.
I created a plug-in that integrates Claude Code's SDK directly into Neovim. So you can kind of like ask it arbitrary tasks, and it'll use the buffer +context to figure out what it should do. - Fix code - Rewrite a section - Research something - Etc danielmiessler.com/blog/neovim-cl…
This may be the coolest emergent capability I've seen in a video model. Veo 3 can take a series of text instructions added to an image frame, understand them, and execute in sequence. Prompt was "immediately delete instructions in white on the first frame and execute in order"
In GCP, you can turn on detections in Model Armor. Kinda neat.

I see almost 0 of this. I’m not saying that some people are not sad and depressed. I’m just saying there are massive groups of people who are thriving.
It is passing strange that society seems to be going mad with hopelessness and despair, anger and hatred and sadism, loss of honor and kindness, a wanton destructiveness; and also the world is ending; but these two facts seem to be mostly unrelated.
drop really does feel like magic. it's PERFECT for collaborations.
Just pushed a new update to Drop (Caido's Collaboration Plugin). We now have: * Key Import/Export (so you can re-use across machines/installs) * Drop dropdown in HTTP History * Drops are automatically sorted into a "Drops" Replay collection
we discovered alien intelligence in sand and like 1% of the world cares lol
Mother of learning is so good

Claude Code is getting a brand new feature: custom subagents. Type `/agents` to get started.
You have to read this thread and the replies because this is new form of supply chain prompt injection. Very cool
AWS published an advisory for their compromised Amazon Q Developer VS Code Extension. You must update to version 1.85 No CVE issued it seems.
huge L. it's impressive how much it tested to eventually arrive at the vuln. anyone liking and laughing without having found bugs on live bug bounty targets should go try before judging. on the costs, you have to blind to not see how costs will fall and models improve.
"most tools would have given up" "A master class on path traversal exploitation" "the vulnerable endpoint permitted local file access via the file:// scheme" "/photo/proxy?url=file:///etc/passwd" ... 🤣🤣🤣 The marketing is the most impressive thing here.
