HTTPS Anomaly Detection in Slips: Adaptive ...

The new HTTPS anomaly detection module in Slips builds per-host adaptive baselines in traffic time, then detects deviations at two levels: per-flow (for bytes to known servers) and per-hour (for host behavior like new servers, unique servers, JA3 changes, and flow volume). It uses online statistics and z-scores for transparent scoring, plus controlled adaptation states (training_fit, drift_update, suspicious_update) to keep learning while reducing poisoning risk.
The result is explainable, operational evidence in clear human text: what changed, confidence, and why it is anomalous.

Introducing ARACNE, a new LLM-based shell ...

The complete automation of cyber-attacks has become one of the areas of greatest interest since the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs) to the public. The creation of attacking LLM agents that can act independently is among the most popular options. 

In this blog, we introduce a brand-new agent: ARACNE. We also share the results of attack tests and what they mean in terms of the agent’s current capabilities.
