The hacker news post caught us exactly as we are redoing the site ahead of the unprompted talk: https://unpromptedcon.org/agenda-10-2026/ - Screenshots and everything else will be back shortly. Capsem is fast moving so we delayed finishing the site until all the core features where stable.

There is no direct network access instead all traffic is routed through the security engine that perform network reconstruction, including parsing models and MCP sessions to enforce rules written in a custom DSL based of CEL.

Thanks for looking in-depth in our post. The Hitachi RTU500 mention is not an hallucination, we did check for those. It is mentioned in the Mandiant threat intelligence data.

Thank you - we are adding them to our test suit for the next version.

Thanks for the feedback -- we will look into it. If you can share with us the list of URL that would be very helpful so we can reproduce - send us an email at [email protected] if that is possible.

For crawling we have planned a head only model to avoid fetching the whole file but it is not ready yet -- we weren't sure what use-cases would emerge so that is good to know that such model might be useful.

We mostly use Magika internally to route files for AV scanning as we wrote in the blog post, so it is possible that despite our best effort to test Magika extensively on various file types it is not as good on fonts format as it should be. We will look into.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with Magika this is very useful.

Co-author of Magika here (Elie) so we didn't include the measurements in the blog post to avoid making it too long but we did those measurements.

Overall file takes about 6ms (single file) 2.26ms per files when scanning multiples. Magika is at 65ms single file and 5.3ms when scanning multiples.

So Magika is for the worst case scenario about 10x slower due to the time it takes to load the model and 2x slower on repeated detection. This is why we said it is not that much slower.

We will have more performance measurements in the upcoming research paper. Hope that answer the question
