For offensive-cyber AI, the author recommends full air gaps, private VPCs, and eBPF monitoring
_xjdr · x · 2026-07-27
The author says any AI built for offensive cyber-security work should be fully air-gapped. If that is not possible, it should be isolated in its own VPC, blocked from public ingress and egress, and monitored so that any outbound packet triggers an alarm.
They would also bundle all dependencies into the image, mirror apt/PyPI/npm locally when extra packages are needed, and add multiple layers of eBPF plus unshare/cvisor/gVisor to intercept syscalls and network traffic. The author says this is already how their sandboxes are set up even for general use.
