Safety Guardrails Hinder Forensic Analysis
npinto · x · 2026-07-19
While conducting log forensics, the author found that feeding large-scale real-world attack commands, exploit payloads, and C2 artifacts into commercial frontier models often triggers safety guardrails. The models cannot distinguish between an "incident responder" and an "attacker." As a result, the team switched to an open-weight model like **GLM 5.2**, deploying it on their own infrastructure to complete the analysis. An added benefit is that attacker data and any credentials mentioned by the model never leave their environment.
