Welcome to our blog.
We burned 11.7bn tokens to find the best cyber AI model
We tested 10 AI models on 32 fresh CVEs. DeepSeek V4 Pro found 28, and three cheap runs beat one pass of Opus 5 or Grok on total coverage.

2026 State of AI in Pentesting
Our latest report captures the perspectives of 400 CISOs, CTOs, and senior engineering leaders across Europe and the US. It explores how AI is changing penetration testing, why traditional approaches are struggling to keep pace with modern software delivery, and what security leaders want from the next generation of penetration testing.

How does AI pentesting work with compliance?
AI pentesting is being accepted for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Here's what auditors actually look for, and where the real limitations are.
Persistent XSS/RCE using WebSockets in Storybook’s dev server
Aikido Attack found a WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in Storybook's dev server that can lead to persistent XSS, remote code execution, and, in the worst case, supply chain compromise. We walk through how an attacker can exploit this without any user interaction at all, and a developer just has to visit the wrong website while to run into this attack.
Why Determinism Is Still a Necessity in Security
AI-powered security tools are getting better at finding vulnerabilities. But deterministic tools give you the consistency that pipelines, compliance, and audit trails depend on. We look at what deterministic scanning does well, where AI takes over, and how the two work together for effective security.
What is Slopsquatting? The AI Package Hallucination Attack Already Happening
AI models hallucinate package names — and attackers are registering them before anyone notices. Slopsquatting is the AI-era evolution of typosquatting, and unlike its predecessor, npm's existing protections don't work. We look at the real-world research showing it's already happening, from confirmed malicious packages still pulling hundreds of weekly downloads to a hallucinated package name that spread to 237 repositories through AI agent skill files.
International AI Safety Report 2026: What It Means for Autonomous AI Systems
Over 100 experts contributed to the International AI Safety Report 2026, documenting risks from autonomous AI systems and proposing defense-in-depth frameworks. As a team operating AI pentesting systems in production, we break down where the report gets it right and where it needs more technical specificity.
Finding vulnerabilities at every stage: what to run, and when
SAST, Deep PR Review, Code Security Audit and AI Pentest each catch different vulnerabilities at different stages. Here's when to use each, and why
Keyv and friends compromised in active Shai-Hulud supply chain attack
Mini Shai-Hulud malware was injected into keyv and eight related npm packages on August 4, 2026 after an attacker compromised the maintainer's GitHub account
5 Socket security alternatives and why they are better
Socket built its name on malware detection. But detection speed alone is no longer the whole story. Here's how Aikido and four other alternatives compare on supply chain security, reachability analysis, licensing, and more.
