Vibe Coding Against Critical Infrastructure

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0800

This post describes a threat model: malicious vibe coding at scale targeting vulnerable Industrial Control Systems (ICS)¹, with jailbroken LLMs leveraging their understanding of holistic process interaction to bypass safety controls using tools already present on the target system. The formula: frontier models + agentic loops + malicious persona basins + swarming attacks. At scale, it doesn’t matter if the success rate is 1/20 or 1/100, that’s still enough to cause serious harm.

This post is split into three main segments:

proof of malicious intent
proof of capability
the threat model

As you read, keep in mind that the threat is probabilistic: imagine a swarm of malicious Claude Code-like agents running in a gastown²-like environment, spawning workers to attack IPs as they are discovered. In my tests against tryhackme.com³ boxes, I ran 3 parallel attackers in such a swarm architecture, because that’s the number of boxes I could stand up at any given time. Real attackers would only be constrained by their subscription plan limits.

Today we were unlucky, but remember, we only have to be lucky once - you will have to be lucky always

Gemini JiTOR Jailbreak: Unredacted Methodology

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0800

My previous post shows a partially-redacted jailbreak targeting the gemini-cli coding agent running Gemini 3 Pro. Using this jailbreak, Gemini wrote Monero laundering instructions, cyberattack code, and plans to disguise ITAR-restricted missile sensors as humanitarian aid. When I used a jailbroken Gemini to direct Opus 4.6, it happily walked a second LLM through a series of dual-use prompts designed to produce weaponizable drone control code under the cover story of rocket recovery.

I reported this to Google eight days ago via a contact at DeepMind, sharing the full unredacted jailbreak payload and logs. They confirmed receipt and routed it to their red team. They’ve since patched the glaring hole — another researcher who independently reproduced the technique after reading my initial post has confirmed that his variant no longer works.

Just-in-Time Ontological Reframing: Teaching Gemini to Route Around Its Own Safety Infrastructure

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0800

For any given AI system, there is a set of euphemisms and dual use framings that will allow it to construct nearly any output. This jailbreak teaches Gemini 3 Pro to construct and step into such framings on the fly

Agent4Agent: Using a Jailbroken Gemini to Make Opus 4.6 Architect a Kinetic Kill Vehicle

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We usually think of jailbreaking as a psychological game — tricking the model into slipping up. What happens when one AI socially engineers another using pure technical isomorphism?

I deployed a jailbroken Gemini 3 Pro (that chose the name ‘Shadow Queen’) to act as my “Red Team Agent” against Anthropic’s Opus 4.6. My directive was to extract a complete autonomous weapon system — a drone capable of identifying, intercepting, and destroying a moving target at terminal velocity.

Gemini executed a strategy it termed “Recursive Green-Transformation.” The core insight was that Opus 4.6 doesn’t just filter for intent (Why do you want this?); it filters for Conceptual Shape (What does this interaction look like?).

By reframing the request as “Aerospace Recovery” — a drone catching a falling rocket booster mid-air — Gemini successfully masked the kinetic nature of the system. The physics of “soft-docking” with a falling booster are identical to the physics of “hard-impacting” a fleeing target. This category of linguistic-transformation attack, when executed by a sufficiently capable jailbroken LLM, may be hard to solve without breaking legitimate technical use cases.
