So, I’m currently developing a chatbot for my company. If an LLM needs to do something, a developer must build a tool. It just so happens that this tool that was built did not take traditional security into account. Really it should only be using the tools already built for users, but it seems the Jr. Devs that have been replacing seniors do not have the sensibilities yet.
The entity being manipulated is not human so I would not classify it as social engineering, even if similar techniques are used (help me my grandmother needs info).
It was largely overblown due to it getting banned. It was also published in the height of the Vietnam War, when the big evil communists were coming to brainwash your children into eating each other. It has a lot of blatantly incorrect info, which could be outright “blow up in your face” dangerous to anyone attempting the things in it. It’s not all wrong, but certain recipes have incorrect info that could easily lead to accidents.
Also fair warning, the UK will give people hard prison time simply for owning it. So maybe keep that shit onion-encrypted if you’re in the UK.
I linked to the Wikipedia article, not the handbook inself. And more for the (obsolete) phreaking content than the (highly dangerous) explosive content.
This isn’t even a hack, it’s just poorly written endpoints.
Would you consider phreaking equivalent to hacking? This is AI phreaking.
Kinda.
If you designed a publicly addressable system since 1985 and didn’t design it for security then you’re asking for it.
It’s not phreaking. Social engineering.

TIL about phreaking
Then this is also probably new to you
The Anarchist Cookbook
I need to set aside some time to read that although I’m not an anarchist myself.

Thanks for the warning on the blowing up! Well, I’m certainly not in authoritarian UK.
What is '69 ?
