Which Open Source Tools Can Help Us with Vibe Coding in Cybersecurity?
The article examines how large language models are reshaping cybersecurity development through “vibe coding,” where developers describe intent and AI generates code. It highlights open‑source tools—OpenHands, Continue.dev, Aider, Open Interpreter, and Ollama—that enable secure, transparent AI‑assisted workflows while allowing self‑hosting and auditability. The piece stresses integrating these tools into existing secure software development lifecycles to mitigate risks like insecure code, prompt injection, and data leakage. By combining autonomous agents with rigorous review and testing, security teams can boost productivity without compromising governance.
#245: Trust Under Pressure
The post warns that AI‑driven deepfakes and synthetic media are reshaping cyber‑threats, enabling attackers to craft hyper‑real phishing, voice, and video scams at scale. High‑profile incidents, such as a $25 million fraud in Hong Kong, illustrate the financial danger. In response, organisations...
#243: Suricata in Modern Network Defence
Over the past decade, endpoint and cloud security have dominated defensive discussions, yet ransomware still depends on moving data across networks. Suricata has evolved into a high‑performance, multi‑threaded IDS/IPS platform that provides real‑time telemetry from Layer 3 through Layer 7, enabling detection...
#241: How Open-Source Cybersecurity Tools Could Have Helped Prevent the Kido International Cyberattack
In 2025 a ransomware‑driven breach at Kido International, a UK nursery chain, exposed personal data of roughly 8,000 children and staff, with information later posted on a dark‑web leak site. The attack stemmed from a compromised third‑party platform used to...
What “Lilith” Actually Is
Lilith is an open‑source C++ remote administration tool designed for hands‑on learning of RAT architecture and command‑and‑control techniques. The project requires solid C++ skills, Windows internals knowledge, and a sandboxed virtual lab to compile and run safely. By building the...
Who Is MuddyWater?
MuddyWater is an Iranian state‑linked cyber‑espionage group active since at least 2017, targeting governments, energy, telecom and defense sectors worldwide. Recent campaigns, especially Operation Olalampo (2025‑2026), show a shift toward hybrid operations that combine intelligence gathering with disruptive tactics, employing...
