    Recently, I decided to try out Claude for a month and bought the subscription right when mine for ChatGPT ended. However, after just a few days, I noticed how sluggish and inconven…

    Ask HN: Are there any decent LLM-based web application scanners?

    I'm looking for LLM-based web application scanners capable of finding vulnerabilities that aren't typically detected by traditional scanners like in Burp Pro. Even though LLMs are …

    I'd say a strict Content Security Policy (at least script-src 'self' WITHOUT unsafe directives) is even more important to keep the impact contained, so you'd have to put your scrip…
