    The Agentic Hacking Era: Ramblings and a Tool - Joseph Thacker

    A few weeks ago I wrote about how AI is going to impact bug bounty. That post was mostly predictions. This one is about what’s actually happening right now.

    AI’s Impact on Software and Bug Bounty - Joseph Thacker

    2026-02-24
    I have a lot of thoughts on how AI will affect things, including bug bounty. And most of it is speculation, of course, but I have to put this out into the world because I want to know if this is correct in a year or two.

    Hacking An AI Children’s Toy: Remote Access to Every Conversation - Joseph Thacker

    2026-01-29
    My neighbor texted me the other day and said she’d pre-ordered two AI toys for her kids that supposedly used an LLM to dynamically generate content for talking to the child. This was super fascinating to me. I’ve always thought something like that...

    Words I Live By - Joseph Thacker

    2026-01-12
    Over 10 years ago, I put together a self “liturgy” of sorts (basically just a prayer) that I love reading. It takes a bunch of my favorite verses but changes them to the first-person perspective. There’s something about first person that makes it much...

    OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. It can be a vulnerability. But it’s almost never the root cause.

    Metanarrative Prompt Injection - Joseph Thacker

    2025-10-20
    When exploiting AI applications, I find myself using this technique really often so I figured I’d write a quick blog about it. I call it the “Metanarrative Prompt Injection.” You might have already used this before, and it might already have another...

    AI Comprehension Gaps: When Humans and AI See Different Things - Joseph Thacker

    2025-09-24
    There’s an AI Security and Safety concept that I’m calling “AI Comprehension Gaps.” It’s a bit of a mouthful, but it’s an important concept. It’s when there’s a mismatch between what a user knows or sees and what an AI model understands from the same...

    AI Models Are Not Safety-Tuned for Kids - Joseph Thacker

    2025-08-19
    It hit me like a lightning bolt during a casual conversation about AI safety: we’re tuning these models for adults, but kids are using them too.

    The Quest for the Shortest Domain - Joseph Thacker

    2025-08-19
    In bug bounty hunting, having a short domain for XSS payloads can be the difference in exploiting a bug or not… and it’s just really cool to have a nice domain for payloads, LOL.
