From Asset Visibility to Attacker Disruption: Why Knowing What You Have Isn’t Enough
<div cla Assets visibility provides awareness of what exists in your defensive stack. It does not determine whether your defenses can actually disrupt an attack. Asset visibility is just an inventory list.

LLM-generated passwords are indefensible. Your codebase may already prove it
Temperature is not a remedy: A reflexive objection from practitioners familiar with LLM configuration holds that increasing sampling temperature would attenuate these distributional biases by flattening the probability landscape from which characters are drawn. Irregular’s empirical results are unambiguous in refuting this intuition. Testing conducted at temperature 1.0, the maximum setting on Claude, produces no…
