Rob T. Lee typed “find evil” into an autonomous agent on the SIFT Workstation. Fourteen minutes later, he had a complete forensic analysis that practitioners in the room said takes them a week. Then 1,100 people (so far!) signed up to build the next version before the hackathon even opened. SANS Find Evil! Hackathon (https://lnkd.in/eQMdQcun) launched today. Solo builders and full teams, students and seasoned practitioners, from across the globe. They’re building autonomous AI agents for incident response on the SIFT Workstation, the open-source DFIR platform the community has spent 19 years developing. The timing matters. Anthropic’s Mythos announcement this week showed AI finding thousands of critical zero-days across every major operating system and browser. That settles a debate a lot of people were still having. AI belongs in security. The question now is who builds the defensive tooling and how fast. Two months. $22,000+ in prizes. No IR background required. If you’ve been looking for a structured way to actually learn how AI agents work by building one that matters, this is it. Full release: https://go.sans.org/Hsw0XC #AI #SIFTWorkstation
