The fact that agents can solve these is telling and the Infosec Capture The Flag community is trying to figure out how to approach.

I recently solved a (in)famously hard challenge (disobey conference hacker ticket) more or less by accident. I say by accident because I have always ignored this challenges as they generally require a lot of patience and motivation to solve. Some years they haven't been solved at all. This year I had a GPT sub with some unused quota so I thought let's see how far it gets.

And it crunched through the whole thing in an evening and morning (occasional poking from me to keep going and steer it right).

Like anon, I learned nothing except that the agents have become really good at solving puzzles. Last time I had thrown a puzzle on them was Advent of code, with GPT3 I think and it struggled so much I gave up my experiment on day 7 or something.

My 13 mini is getting similar results, no lockdown. Something else is going on.

I recently vibed a little linked-in AI detector which looks for AI things like rule of three and scores it. It scored it 97% AI polished.

My gut feeling agrees. The rule of three is one of the stronger signals, can't stamp that out of the AI even if you wanted :-)

I'll push it to GH later, it's nothing fancy but it has been quite good in my experience. Here is highlights which it used

``` tricolon coordinated VERB run: “…break / on them collapse / unlock everything .” (3 members) tricolon coordinated VERB run: “…guard physical addresses / not DRAM coordinates / you rearrange the” (3 members) tricolon coordinated NOUN run: “…handful of data / it to z3 / the translation matrix” (3 members) tricolon coordinated NOUN run: “…view / the elaborate fences / locks / security checks the” (4 members) tricolon coordinated VERB run: “…Read it / the alias map / pipe” (3 members) ```

If someone is interested in open hardware running openwrt, also check out Turris.

https://www.turris.com/en/

I have been using them for years and I'm really happy. I recently bought the WiFi 6 upgrade kit for both of my turris. They "recently" released their latest version which is expensive but comes with WiFi 7 and 2.5 Gbps RJ45 and 10 Gbps SPF.

You can also do something like this with static pages using https://pagefind.app/

I built a ChatGPT/claude history search tool and it works surprisingly well.

There are other tools also. Not to detract from this tool but just to inform people about alternatives.

I think I know what you mean, thanks for the report, if you modify the # part on a webpage it's not the same as reloading it, and I doubt I watch for that part changing

yeah, isn't it impressive how fast modern computers can be if you make a bit of effort, in this case I think I told it to just use plain javascript and make sure it's fast :-)

it's a static webpage, the source is available with right-click view source, I added a BSD2 licence header to it to make clear it's fine to take and do mostly whatever with
