I come from offensive security and I have spent a lot of time on AI research, MCP, and vulnerability hunting. When Hack The Box shipped its Certified Offensive AI Expert, I jumped on it. This is a retex of the AI Red Teamer path and the certification, focused on how I prepared and the math behind the attacks, kept strictly within HTB’s disclosure rules.
I was invited to give a talk at FIC 2026 about a semester R&D project: an MCP architecture that orchestrates several home-made MCP servers to test, detect, and improve detection coverage. Attack runs in a GOAD lab, the system checks if an alert fires, digs through the logs when it does not, writes and tests a rule, then validates that the scenario is now covered. Hundreds of scenarios a month, and three good days in Lille.
