What continuous pentesting actually requires
Continuous pentesting: how it works and what it requires
Continuous pentesting promises real-time security validation, but most implementations fall short. Here’s what continuous pentesting actually requires—from change-aware testing to exploit validation and remediation loops.
Continuous pentesting is widely discussed, but rarely defined clearly. This piece breaks down what it is, what it isn’t, and what it actually requires.

Rare Not Random: Using Token Efficiency for Secrets Scanning
Entropy often struggles with generic secrets and short strings. We look at how token efficiency can better identify strings that don’t look like normal text.
Entropy is great at spotting randomness. But secrets aren’t always random. They’re just strings that don’t show up in normal code or text. We explore using BPE tokenization to measure that difference.

Why Determinism Is Still a Necessity in Security
Why Determinism Is Still a Necessity in Security
AI scanning finds what rules miss. Deterministic scanning finds it every time. Here's why the best security pipelines don't choose between them.
AI-powered security tools are getting better at finding vulnerabilities. But deterministic tools give you the consistency that pipelines, compliance, and audit trails depend on. We look at what deterministic scanning does well, where AI takes over, and how the two work together for effective security.

Persistent XSS/RCE using WebSockets in Storybook (CVE-2026-27148)
CVE-2026-27148 exposes a WebSocket hijacking flaw in Storybook that can escalate into supply chain compromise. Learn the attack path, impact, and how to remediate.
Aikido Attack found a WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in Storybook's dev server that can lead to persistent XSS, remote code execution, and, in the worst case, supply chain compromise. We walk through how an attacker can exploit this without any user interaction at all, and a developer just has to visit the wrong website while to run into this attack.

Persistent XSS/RCE using WebSockets in Storybook’s dev server

Aikido Attack found a WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in Storybook's dev server that can lead to persistent XSS, remote code execution, and, in the worst case, supply chain compromise. We walk through how an attacker can exploit this without any user interaction at all, and a developer just has to visit the wrong website while to run into this attack.

What is Slopsquatting? The AI Package Hallucination Attack Already Happening

AI models hallucinate package names — and attackers are registering them before anyone notices. Slopsquatting is the AI-era evolution of typosquatting, and unlike its predecessor, npm's existing protections don't work. We look at the real-world research showing it's already happening, from confirmed malicious packages still pulling hundreds of weekly downloads to a hallucinated package name that spread to 237 repositories through AI agent skill files.
