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…

NIST CSF 2.0 and Universalizing Cybersecurity
Over the past decade, the proliferation of standards, controls, and sector-specific frameworks has created a paradox where the more guidance exists, the harder it is to weed through the complexity and build secure systems that comply with that guidance. This is where NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 comes in. CSF functions as a translation layer,”¦…

FIM Test: A Method for Distinguishing True FIM Capabilities in a Crowd of Claims

The conclusion was clear: Many vendor claims of file integrity monitoring (FIM) capabilities do not match this definition. Change detection across system components, including files, is crucial and implemented in many tools, including EDR/XDR. However, while these systems often claim FIM…
