I liked the idea, and it finally got me to experiment with AI-assisted vulnerability research and exploit development. Most of the publications I’ve seen so far have focused on browsers and operating systems. These are clearly hard targets, but the agent has access to source code and plenty of stable tools like language servers to navigate the code, ASAN/UBSAN to confirm crashes, and time-travel debugging to help write exploits. I wanted to explore another kind of hard target: real-time operating systems.
