SDRP25RadioMetadata

IDOR Express

IDORWebAccess ControlBug Disclosure

Adam submitted a talk to a security conference and noticed something odd in the CFP platform. A little poking around revealed he could see data he had absolutely no business seeing. No fancy tooling.

Building Security Intelligence with Claude Code

Levi Reuss · May 12, 2026
AIClaude CodeThreat IntelAutomationLLM

Levi is a security engineer, not a developer. So when he needed a tool to keep up with the flood of threat intel, vendor advisories, and LLM news, he built one anyway using Claude Code as his pair programmer. What started as a course project became something he actually runs in production. This talk is an honest account of that journey, including what worked, what broke, and what surprised him along the way.
