After a bit of trial and error, I finally made an agent that does exactly what I want. No hallucinations. Runs locally. And costs almost nothing. #! /bin/bash // Do exactly this one task and nothing else. // If it doesn't work, wait 30 seconds and try // again. If that fails, log a message. doTask

I recently did a talk on internet safety for parents/guardians and it was well received by those in the room. Its honestly the toughest talk I have researched and given. It might help you if you have kids or you are the local tech support for people with small humans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgF5...

The call for papers for NDC Security ends tomorrow. Come do your talk in Oslo: ndcsecurity.com/call-for-pap...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

We are increasing the length of support offered for .NET Standard Term Support (STS) releases from 18 months to 24 months. This change is effective starting with .NET 9 and there is no change for LTS releases. Get all the details you need: msft.it/63328t6MeM

Microsoft is expanding transparency in vulnerability management. We are now publishing VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) attestations for third-party CVEs associated with the Azure Linux Distribution (formerly CBL-Mariner). Learn why VEX matters in our blog post: msft.it/6014shEmn

It's Patch Tuesday and ASP.NET Core has a doozy, with a CVSS score of 9.9, our highest ever. Let's examine why. The bug enables http request smuggling, which on its own for ASP.NET Core would be nowhere near that high, but that's not how we rate things... * Thread- (1/7)

And while we're talking about .NET security we have another announcement. Do you build and distribute your own version of .NET? Then you wanted to get early access to upcoming patch information sooner to protect your customers at the same time as we release patches.

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotne...

Some notes on the insecurity baked into Perplexity's Comet "AI Browser" - the Brave security team reported serious prompt injection vulnerabilities in it, but Brave themselves are developing a similar feature that looks doomed to have similar problems simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/25/...

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs calling tools in a loop) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Combine access to private data, exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate and an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/...

Patch Tuesday saw an update to the .NET runtime to fix a DLL planting vulnerability. github.com/dotnet/annou...

Prompt Injection is a top risk for use of LLMs, where untrusted data can cause a system to misbehave or leak data. We're hard at work on deterministic solutions to prevent or bound the risk, and just published a paper on our innovative information flow control approach: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.23643

Researchers from Rice and Stanford refer to this recursive data contamination as Model Autophagy Disorder (MAD), analogous to mad cow disease. (Reminder: do not eat the neural tissue of your own species.) therepublicjournal.com/essays/the-c...
