Today, we released an open-source tool to help mitigate some of the security implications of today's MCP server implementations: the "MCP Secret Wrapper", which in a simple 2-step flow, removes those pesky static credentials from your configuration files! https://t.co/MRqqCw0loI

Our analysis discovered that the majority of servers rely on long-lived API keys or credentials given to them through static configuration files. This unfortunate side effect of the rush to use #AI #Agents comes at a cost by downgrading security.

The #MCP framework took the world by storm. But is it safe? We downloaded over 5 thousand of the highest starred MCP implementations to answer that question! https://t.co/Pkn9OJUowK

A few years later (and I still can't quite believe this is happening) I'm going to be that person on stage! So, despite me, I'll be presenting my research on the main stage on the second day (Tuesday, 28/10) at 13:20. Hope to see you there!

The first Reversim I attended was actually one of the first cons I'd ever been to. I remember sitting in the audience, watching a speaker present their cool project, and thinking how incredible it must feel to be up there on stage sharing your work with such an engaged crowd.

#Hacking #Google episode 5 challenge 2 threw a curve-ball at me - crypto challenge! I avoided these in the past, assuming it's unlikely I'll be able to break them. But since this #CTF was friendly thus far, I gave it a go, and managed to solve it! https://t.co/N4CHuuyh4R
