How AI Sec Picks and Verifies What It Publishes
AI Sec covers offensive AI security from a working practitioner's perspective. Here's what we publish, what we don't, and how to read it.
AI Sec exists to fill a gap. Most coverage of “AI security” is one of two things: vendor blog posts pitching their product, or research papers written for an academic audience. Neither is what a working pentester, AI red teamer, or security engineer actually needs.
What we publish here:
Technical writeups of real attacks. Prompt injection variants and what makes them work. Jailbreak techniques and the model behaviors they exploit. Tool-use and agent abuse. Indirect prompt injection through retrieved content. Multi-modal attack chains. Where possible, we publish reproducible PoCs against open models. Closed models get attack patterns and behavioral analysis.
Adversarial ML, applied. Membership inference, model extraction, evasion attacks, training-data extraction, backdoors. We focus on what’s exploitable in production systems, not theoretical bounds.
Red team methodology. How to scope an AI red team engagement, how to build attack libraries, how to communicate findings to a model team that doesn’t speak security and a security team that doesn’t speak ML.
Tooling reviews. Honest takes on the offensive AI security tooling landscape — Garak, PyRIT, promptmap, the LLM-specific scanners — and which are worth your time.
What we don’t publish:
- Press release rewrites
- “10 ways AI will change cybersecurity” listicles
- Anything we can’t source to primary material
