🤖 Claude & Control: An Introduction to Agentic C2 with Computer Use Agents

This blog explores how computer use agents can be used to build an agentic command-and-control framework. By combining LLM reasoning with desktop interaction tools, attackers could automate endpoint control while blending into normal system behavior. Here, we break down the architecture, abuse scenarios, and detection opportunities.

🤖 The “AI Vulnerability Storm”: Building a “Mythos-ready” Security Program

AI, as demonstrated by Anthropic's Mythos, has significantly increased the likelihood of attackers discovering new vulnerabilities, creating new exploits, and using them in complex automated attacks at scale. While AI also increases the speed of patch development and reduces defects in new software, defenders still face a heavier relative burden due to the inherent limitations of patching. Attackers gain asymmetric benefits.
