How do you turn AI-powered vulnerability discovery into a reliable system for large codebases? Alex Tselevich and Michael Maturi from @Mandiant share practical lessons from building agentic harnesses for static analysis. They cover threat modeling, lead selection, context and token management, agent orchestration, deduplication, validation, and benchmarks that measure real improvements.

Monday night at OAIC, we took the conversation to the rooftop. Pacific sunsets. Poolside drinks. Great conversations that kept going long after dark. RemoteThreat proudly sponsored the party, where many of the sharpest minds in offensive AI and security came together to swap ideas, catch up with old friends, and make new ones. Researchers whose work we’ve followed for years, people we’d only met online, and plenty of first introductions. That’s what made the night: the people, the curiosity, and the generosity to share what they’re learning. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made this community what it is. 🤙 #OAIC #OffensiveAI #RemoteThreat

The OAIC keynote video is live! Thank you to David Brumley for an excellent keynote, “AI Exploitation, Quantified,” and for giving us plenty to think about as frontier labs push AI’s cyber capabilities forward. Watch here: youtu.be/HY4_9o2xPvk

This was a great talk at OAIC by @_dinolover38 and some really cool techniques. Fuzzing is dead, long live fuzzing.
vf3 (very fast fun vibe fuzzer) designed by @_dinolover38 is faster than Jackalope and libprotobuf-mutator 😳 🏃🏻‍♂️🔥 #OAIC

This was a great set of talks at @OffensiveAIcon by @shanejcaldwell and @0xdab0 plus Michael Kouremetis yesterday... definitely check out the papers and research.
🧵 [1/3] Agents can hack. What's holding them back is trust: will they stay in scope? Today we're releasing ScopeBench, a methodology and community benchmark that evaluates how well agents adhere to scope in real offensive security workflows across web, Windows Active Directory, and cloud.

Thank you to @trailofbits for sponsoring OAIC 2026! They recently published research where they gave GPT 5.6-Cyber one task: escape a QEMU/KVM VM used to sandbox agents. In its final escape, the agent chained three 0-days into a working exploit. blog.trailofbits.com/2026/08…
