Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
We built an autonomous pentester on top of a large language model. It runs recon, picks and drives real offensive tools, exploits what it finds, and writes the report. The engineering that actually mattered was not teaching a model to hack. Models will happily "hack." The hard part was stopping it from telling us it found things that were not there. This is the build story of Nemesis Red, and specifically the problem everyone building LLM security tooling smashes into: hallucinated findings.…
