Hack Like It's 1999. Prove It Like It's 2026
Hunting Zero-Days with XBOW
The craft of finding exploitable flaws hasn't changed much since the 90s. It's always been about curiosity, patience, and a refusal to trust what the app tells you. What has changed is the speed. Attackers now have frontier models running attacks in seconds while defenders may still wait weeks for a scheduled pentest.
In this technical walkthrough, XBOW's Federico Kirschbaum, Head of Security Labs, and Alex Plattel, Solutions Architect, demonstrate how XBOW autonomously multiplies the skills of an elite hacker and runs continuously across applications.
Join Fede and Alex as they show what autonomous offensive security looks like under the hood:
What you’ll learn:
How XBOW approaches an unknown application: (reconnaissance, hypothesis generation, and where agentic reasoning outperforms signature-based scanning)
Anatomy of a zero-day, discovered autonomously from initial foothold to chained impact
Why full autonomy scales and where human-in-the-loop breaks
How to integrate autonomous offensive testing alongside your existing pentest and AppSec workflows
