When AI Learns to Pentest: The ARTEX Case and the Rise of Agentic Attack Tooling
In October 2026, an open-source AI pentesting tool called ARTEX was linked to attacks on South Korean financial institutions — and within 48 hours its developer pulled the source and went closed-source. This article reconstructs the timeline, unpacks its technical positioning, and answers the more important question: how should defenders respond when attack tooling is driven by AI agents?
The Double-Graph Architecture: Separating "What the Target Is" from "How Far We Have Tested"
Most automation systems track progress in a single state table — and end up with facts and reasoning contaminating each other: unverified guesses get treated as confirmed assets, and work proceeds on false premises. This article unpacks a rare design that splits the truth store from the per-task reasoning chain into two graphs joined by anchors — and why that pattern deserves attention from any long-running AI agent system.
Supply Chain and Third-Party Risk: When Your Attack Surface Is Not in Your Own Building
Much of a modern enterprise's attack surface sits outside its own control: open-source packages, outsourced providers, cloud dependencies, SaaS tools. This article unpacks the risk mechanics of four supply-chain links, shows how attackers borrow a path in, and includes a third-party risk checklist you can use directly.
