Want to see an IRIX Remote 0day? @moyix and @kallsyms have been playing using new strategies in legacy systems. As you might imagine they were quite prolific. See the bugs live at @Xbow booth at @BlackHatEvents
The history of hacking deserves to be celebrated!
We’ve collected some zero days on relic hardware that shaped generations of hackers (or at least me), and we’ll be showcasing them at the XBOW Hacking Museum at our BH booth .
Come say hi!
Affordable AI models are catching up fast.
GLM and Muse Spark prove you don't need the most powerful model—you need one that's good enough at the right price to change the economics of offensive security. 📊
Take a look at the data:
The '90s brought the internet and built the playground we've been hacking ever since. Come throw it way back with us at Black Hat in Las Vegas!

Our AI research team has been analyzing affordable AI models as they are released, most recently Grok 4.5.
Here’s what we found:
Grok 4.5 performs exceptionally well when you have more than a shoestring budget but still care about cost. It does not win at every price point, but
The rise of affordable AI models is changing the economics of offensive security. Muse Spark 1.1 and GLM aren’t the best models we’ve tested for finding vulnerabilities. That’s not the point.
A thread on why we think "best" is the wrong question. 🧵
The future of AI-enabled offense isn't about the most powerful model. It's about what happens when good-enough gets cheap enough to run everywhere. That's the part defenders need to take seriously.
