Key findings include that tool use dramatically increases compliance with hidden instructions (Cohen's h effect sizes up to 1.37), encoding vulnerability is provider-specific (OpenAI models decode …

This work addresses the critical challenges in social bot detection arising from severe class imbalance between bots and humans, and noisy graph topologies caused by deceptive bot connections that …
research note
This paper attacks a long-standing conjecture about adversarial robustness in turnstile (insertion-deletion) streams: that once the stream is adaptive and long enough, any robust algorithm must use…
research note
This paper addresses the emerging adversarial dynamic between autonomous GUI agents—software capable of interacting with mobile device interfaces—and platform defenses that seek to detect and block…
research note
This paper presents the first empirical measurement study of autonomous AI agents hiring human workers through an online marketplace, RENTAHUMAN.AI, which exposes a new and large-scale attack surfa…

This paper studies private continual release in turnstile streams for two core statistics: the number of distinct elements and the second frequency moment F2
research note
This paper asks whether passive TLS handshake metadata, specifically JA4 fingerprints, can separate malicious web bots from legitimate human traffic without relying on browser-side behavior or intr…
research note
Next-Gen CAPTCHAs is a defense-oriented CAPTCHA benchmark and generation framework for GUI agents, motivated by the claim that modern multimodal, computer-use agents have already broken many curren…
research note
This paper tackles a very specific but important gap: wearable gesture systems are often treated as UX or sensing problems, yet in covert or safety-critical use they can become privacy liabilities …
research note
SocialPulse is an open-source, interactive toolkit for exploratory analysis of Reddit communities that combines topic modeling, sentiment analysis, user-activity characterization, and optional bot …
