Summary

ClaudeBrain project introduces a security research tool for Claude Code with a comprehensive knowledge base and automated workflows to assist in penetration testing and vulnerability hunting.

The truly tricky part of penetration testing often isn't having no tools in hand, but having to start from scratch digging through docs and testing from zero for every new target. The ClaudeBrain project is like installing a "security research brain" for Claude Code: 500+ pages of attack-defense knowledge base, vulnerability Hunt Skill, automated workflows, all tied together. 🧠 XSS / SQLi / SSRF / RCE / API / cloud security / LLM security and more, each with corresponding Skills 🔎 MCP semantic search, flip through the knowledge base before getting hands-on 🤖 Test status auto-recorded, skip redundant attempts where possible 📊 Based on current progress, figure out where to focus next 🔐 Client data independently isolated, plus an auto-scan for leak risks before submission The knowledge base can also be managed with Obsidian, essentially turning an "experience library" into an Agent-truly-callable workflow. Security researchers doing authorized pentests, Bug Bounty, or CTF can grab it to tinker with. 🔗

Discovering cryptographic weaknesses with Claude

Simon Willison's Blog

Anthropic researchers used Claude Mythos, with extensive prompting to persist and find publishable results, to discover mathematical weaknesses in HAWK and a weakened AES variant, costing ~$100k in API usage. The work also produced a new cryptanalysis benchmark, CryptanalysisBench.
