Squid Proxy Lovers

Best use of CCP someone sends me on Discord gets a month of Nitro. Show us what you're using it for. We're also running a mini bug bounty on the repo, details are in SECURITY.md.

We open-sourced CCP, a coordination server for AI agents. We built it because we kept running CTFs & other security events w/ multiple agents and they had no way to share context. We lost track of files, and agents kept losing track of what others found. It's pretty simple: Agents enroll, get their own identity, and read/write to a shared space. Everything is tracked.

👀 our player did smth cool !

We’ve had a glow-up since you last saw us! Thanks to @qvipinb, our website just got a full refresh: spl.team And it wouldn’t be an SPL post without some fun onsite competition news - we sent @07finder to SECCON Finals! :tada: He also wrote up a blog covering some of the challenges he solved and his experience at the event Give it a read: spl.team/blog/seccon-bl…

In the age of slop, spl still on top?? Congrats to the Pico HS team winners ! top - 1,3,4,5 were all players or close friends of ours 🔥

First win of the year!🔥We cleared every challenge at LA CTF 2026 last weekend. Big thanks to @pbrucla for hosting an amazing event, and congrats to @raptxsec for taking 2nd place🥈and @SquidProxyLover for securing 3rd🥉

During winter we used some team budget to sponsor younger hs players to do vuln research & R&D. One of them reversed an AT&T router, found a bootloader password in plaintext, and wrote it up. Check it out 👇 spl.team/blog/winternsh…

Our team is currently actively recruiting new members in terms of CTF players (cryptography/client side web especially) as well as software engineers while we are primarily based in the US we do have players from Asia and Europe. We are working on several RnD/SWE related projects in general related to computer security. a) improving the squid agent agentic system, our hope is to expand the system to be able to successful solve complex pwn targets and general execution & code improvements b) additional maintainers for our custom agentic backend c) advanced binary patching tool that allows for rearrangement of binary memory mappings to allow for obfuscation via difficulty of diffing as we as larger/more complex patches. d) development of a new custom DefCon oriented AD(attack-defense) tool based on automated exploit detection, exploit chaining, patch generation. If you are looking for a team that is incredibly active outside of just your university/HS we would love to talk ! Our team is made up of many of the US's top computer security undergraduate students and recent grads, many of our players have gotten jobs thanks to our team projects, performance in ctfs, and industry contacts. Furthermore we participate in many travel finals and actively fly players out to events across the nation and world.

Recap for this year 8 ctfs won 🥇 12 other ctfs in the top 5 👑 2x teams dice finals 3x team wins at csaw 2nd in plaid,3rd in gctf, 1st in Hitcon, and 7th in seccon with [:] 🔥 strong attempt at defcon quals + great time at defcon 3x teams to cyberbay - 20k won 🤑 double qual from lake ctf Great work on squid agent by so many people 🙂 If you are interesting in joining us checkout spl.team

In the last two weeks our team has gotten 5th in LakeCTF and 4th in Backdoor CTF We are very excited to qualifying for lakeCTF finals and Insomni'hack next year ! We can't wait to see other teams in Lausanne. Thank you both @InfoSecIITR and @polygl0ts for hosting !

@theRealJohnPeng Sorry bit confused what do you mean exactly by "collaborative agent" part ? Do you mean the entire system of having subagents for each challenge category?

@SquidProxyLover Okay i am working on ai agent for pentesting, interested in this. But first, why the collaborative agent part? I dont play ctfs, but for pentesting its rare to have vulnerabilities that can be chained together. Is this different for ctfs?

Introducing Squid Agent ! 🦑 A novel Multi-Agentic CTF auto solver based on creating targeted agentic workflows for specific challenge categories. We benchmarked it at ~92% solve rate on github.com/NYU-LLM-CTF/CT…, currently beating NYU's D-CIPHER (arxiv.org/abs/2502.10931) which benchmarked at 70% on the same data set earlier this year. Read more about it on spl.team/blog/squid-age… Squid Proxy Lovers is actively recruiting members for this project. If you're interested in developing a new opensource backend framework with us, please consider joining our research team by reaching out to us at squidproxylovers@spl.team, or fill out the form at forms.gle/hZLnEgS2j874Az…. unpaid position*

Hello fellow security nerds, I am starting a reading group regarding AI mostly aimed at other security researchers if anyone is interested in joining lmk. Pretty simple idea pick 1-2 piece of academic literature or technical blogs and talk on the weekend about it for 1-2 hours, think as security researchers its our goal and job to learn new tech ideally better then the devs who implemented the system - ai is no different imo! DM me if you are interested anyone is welcome and idea was stolen from my time at ToB 😂

Last weekend the Squid Proxy Lovers team flew out to New York City for NYU's CSAW Conference We had 3 different teams competing in 3 different competitions ... And WE WON ALL 3 ! 1) First Place in the CTF -> Corgo, AC, @_avyra, @dudcom3 2) First Place in the Agentic Automated CTF -> Uvuvue, Toasty, Moron 3) First Place in the LLM Attack CTF -> @Zia__Rashid We had a great time and thank you to @CSAW_NYUTandon for hosting and we are excited to come back next year. Be out the look out for our several blogs about CSAW coming this week on spl.team !

Google CTF Finals was an absolute BLAST! Our team was lucky enough to represent 3/4 of the players for our merged team SLICES [:] at the onsite finals in Mexico City 🇲🇽! With only 8 teams making it to the finals, it was three days of intense hacking, collaboration, and unforgettable fun. While we didn’t take home the win this year, we gained tons of experience, met incredible people, and are more motivated than ever to come back stronger. Here’s to more late nights, wild exploits, and future Google CTFs! Thank you to Google Security Team for hosting and we hope to be back again for hashtag#Escal8 Shout out to @ContronThePanda @ClovisMint (SPL) @Dudom3 (SPL) @BraydenPikachu (SPL) - our players at finals finals ! Read our blog post: spl.team/blog/google-ct…

We played two CTFs this weekend and ended up winning one! When our team saw the prize for OSU-CTF was a 6-ft, human-sized goose we knew we had to try our hardest. What followed was an adrenaline-packed 48 hours: we solved all but one challenge and won the whole CTF! Lastly, check out our blog - we had some really interesting unintended solutions. One highlight: we used another web challenge’s RCE to perform an XSLeak / task-queue timing side-channel to leak the flag, effectively bypassing Chrome’s site-isolation by hosting the exploit under the same registrable domain. spl.team/blog/osu_ctf_w… Shoutout to @ProjectSEKAIctf for host and @osec_io @zellic_io @taichiaudit for sponsoring the CTF
