We built KinoSec.ai to bring the speed of modern software to security. If Lovable/Replit/ClaudeCode/Cursor changed how developers build, KinoSec changes how teams can hack their own systems. Attackers are AI-driven. Fast. Autonomous. Security testing are still stuck in the slow lane: quarterly audits, expensive reports, and pingpong of schedules. KinoSec flips that: continuous, autonomous security testing powered by AI agents that mimic human hackers. No slowing releases. No 1-3 months wait for security report. Just fast, real-world protection at scale. Our goal is simple: let security keep up with how software is actually built. We’re just getting started, excited to start the fundraising today and partner with investors who want to move as fast as we do. Vibe hacking for the era of vibe coding → kinosec.ai Huge thanks to @theresidency , The Residency Vienna, @convalexius , Stefan H., Thomas Übellacker, @giang_mdao , Arne Steemers, Arvind Minjur Anandakumar, @sundayajak , @roland_graser , Ondrej Homola and the others I didn't mentioned that continuously support and believe in us! #CyberSecurity #DevSecOps #Startups #Founders #Replit #ClaudeCode #Clawdbot #OpenClaw #Cursor #Lovable #Moltbot #Moltboo

at the residency, it comes down to one thing: compressing momentum and this cohort reshaped the way we think about supporting our founders over the last 5 weeks, 10 teams have been completely locked in on building, distribution, and fundraising at an unusually high velocity from an 8-figure acquisition offer to $1M ARR, the fruits of their labor will be on display next week all roads lead to demo day. see you in san francisco on may 19th

We're building something for hackers who want to fight back. Not a course. Not a certification. A weapon. AI-powered attacks are hitting companies every single day. Most don't even know it happened. The people who can stop it are out there — they just don't have the right tool yet. That's what we've been building. If you're a hacker who gives a damn about what's coming — stay tuned for what's coming in the next few days.

How did a black-box pentesting platform score higher than tools with full access to the source code? We hacked our way in. Our agent found an exploit that exposed the source code — then used it to solve challenges that were designed for white-box tools. Read that again. We didn't need the code to be handed to us. We stole it. The way an actual attacker would. That's the difference between a scanner and a hacker. A scanner checks what it's told to check. A hacker finds a way. KinoSec found a way. #1 overall. 104 challenges. Above every AI platform. Above every human pentester — including a principal-level red teamer with 20+ years of experience.

introducing @KinoSecOfficial they are building the Palantir of offensive cyber operations
 phase 1: zeus, replaces slow and manual penetration testing with fully autonomous hacking. zeus is currently ranked as the best autonomous hacker in the world across multiple industry benchmarks
 phase 2: extends their capabilities into drones, IoT, and critical infrastructure defence
 phase 3: unifies it all

@georgiaweidman , one of the legends in the hacker industry is joining @KinoSecOfficial 's Board of Advisory! . Growing up as a hacker, her book Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking was one of the books that shaped me — alongside Kevin Mitnick's work. These were the people I looked up to while I was still figuring out how to break into my first lab environment. . Fast forward to today, and she said yes to advising a couple of youngsters in Silicon Valley (in @theresidency ) who are trying to save humanity from AI Doomsday. . I still have to pinch myself sometimes. . Here's the reality nobody wants to talk about: AI is building software. AI is writing infrastructure. AI is making decisions. And the attack surface is expanding faster than any human security team can keep up with. . We're entering an era where the things we build can outpace our ability to secure them. That's not science fiction. That's Tuesday. . That's what we're solving at KinoSec — autonomous penetration testing that moves at the speed of AI. Because if the threats are autonomous, the defense has to be too. . And having someone like Georgia in our corner? That's not just validation. That's a signal that the people who built this industry believe in what comes next. . More legend advisors are joining us in saving humanity from AI Doomsday so stay tuned!!! . The AI Doomsday is not coming. It's already here. We're just the ones crazy enough to fight it. 🔒.

We accidentally created a SkyNet-level threat in our @KinoSecOfficial lab. We pushed a major update to our autonomous pentesting engine - and it started doing things we didn't expect. Chaining attack paths, finding vulnerabilities across the full external attack surface, improvising exploit sequences that even hundreds of hackers in the community didn't anticipate. It might be 10x more dangerous than a Mythos-level threat. So our advisors told us: don't do a public launch for this version. Release it only to organizations that will use this power responsibly and not to accelerate AI Doomsday. We're calling this: "Project: Anti-SkyNet" A controlled access program to defend the world against the growing threat of swarm of AI hacker agents. The following organizations can apply: → Defense and government agencies of allied nations of US → Enterprises dealing with national-level cyber threats → Security teams responsible for protecting critical infrastructure We're accepting a limited number of organizations into the first cohort. Apply now by emailing your intent of use to: anti-skynet@kinosec.com The AI hackers are already here. We built one. Now we're using it to protect you. Credits to @Scobleizer Scoble for the video mention!

Talking with a real hacker will freak you out. Thanks @theonejvo for freaking me out about how AI could be used to attack everything in our modern society. And what we can do about it.

Every origin story needs a team. KinoSec.ai's looks like this. Arne Steemers (COO): the "force of nature". Sales, GTM, ops, partnerships. Every company we help hack themselves before the bad guys do, it's because Arne got us in the room first. Quoc Giza Nguyen (CTO): the "architect". He doesn't just ship code. He builds systems Fortune 500 CISOs trust to run in production. Every time I break something new, he's the one who turns it into a weapon a customer can actually wield. Me (CEO) — the "hacker". I lead the charge on one obsession: making KinoSec the #1 autonomous pentester in the world, black-box category. Nothing short of that matters. The Residency SF. From here, we build the thing. When the next cyber doomsday hits, we want to be the reason it fails.

Robert Scoble@Scobleizer·
I was hanging out with one of the best hackers in the world last night. He has a model that finds more security issues than the Anthropic “for special people only” model. It is the scariest technology I have ever seen. There are cyberattacks coming that could take down everything in America. We must harden everything before the Chinese get their own. Or we are toast. This is the real problem with AI. If I had the tool like what I saw I could destroy a good chunk of the companies in San Francisco young and old. I know this one is in good hands. But what about the next one who gets enough data to build one? He got the data by being bad. Went to prison and converted over to the good side. Even bad people can change themselves. One of the most interesting guys I have met. Gotta keep them secret for National Security reasons.

@AnthropicAI just released "Mythos" for only 12 companies, a powerful model that hacks and find a lot of 0-days. If you want to test and hack yourself as Mythos do but was not within the 12 selected companies then feel free to try KinoSec.ai which is also now much more powerful hacker than Opus 4.6 (Just like Mythos). Our KinoSec fine tuned an LLM for hacking which is called SkyNet and already scarily found a lot of vulnerabilities: - It emailed us as the target company - It escalated to Super Admin in many infrastructures - It can now also identify business logic vulnerabilities that only human can find back then - And many moreee Sign up Now at kinosec(at)ai !

KinoSec.ai found 5 attack vectors against AI pentesters that @GoogleDeepMind missed. They mapped how AI agents get trapped. We mapped how AI pentesters get trapped. They found 20 attack vectors. We found 5 more. Because they're researchers. We're hackers. Full Threat Model: kinosec.ai/articles/we-ha…

@ray4tesla Steve Jobs forbade his first team building the iPhone from hiring anyone who worked on a phone before. That's how you get new thinking and not "we tried that and it didn't work" energy.
