Children can hack now. That's not hyperbole.

I made hundreds of thousands in bug bounties hacking companies. Google listed me in their top 10 researchers. Today, a teenager with a $20 AI subscription could outperform my former self.

I started as a software engineer, then moved into hacking and exploitation early.

For years, breaking into systems required deep skill. You had to understand architectures, code, authentication protocols. That knowledge was rare — and it was the barrier.

I switched to defense around 2010. Became a CISO. Built security programs for dozens of companies over the past decade.

I've always said: hacking is easy, protecting companies is hard. But hacking used to at least require talent.

I spent last weeks testing how well AI agents find vulnerabilities. Cloud environments, large attack surfaces, thousands of endpoints, APIs, directories. Real exploitation. Not theory.

And I'm shocked.

These systems are better than I ever was. And I wasn't bad, still ain't.

That means breaking into companies is now accessible to anyone with a small monthly subscription. The skill barrier that kept most people out is essentially gone.

Children can hack now. That's not hyperbole.

The asymmetry between offense and defense just exploded.

I went home that night and called Mykola and Tobias. We started building the next morning.

We'd been kicking around an autonomous attack-surface agent for months. What I'd just watched made the decision: we couldn't wait.

Six months later, Superhack is a fleet of specialist hacker agents that run continuously against your stack:

• Recon. Maps your DNS, cloud accounts, public buckets, exposed repos, and every endpoint reachable from the internet.
• Authentication. Probes password reset oracles, MFA bypasses, OAuth misconfigurations, and session handling.
• Exploit. Hunts IDOR, SSRF, injection, broken access control — real exploitation against your production stack, not theoretical findings.
• Cloud + Code. Chains IAM privileges into your billing service, and reads your repos for hardcoded secrets and auth bugs reachable from the production surface.
• PoC builder. Packages every finding as a curl command, a Playwright script, or a step-by-step HTTP replay you can click “Run again” on.

We tuned the agents against live bug-bounty programs — production stacks of well-defended companies with serious security teams watching. The same agents now scan yours.

Every finding ships with proof. No “potential vulnerability,” no false positives, no triage debt. Just exploits we can prove.

For CISOs and security operators, there's only one question left:

How fast can we learn to use these same tools to defend?

The window is short. Three months, six months — I don't know. Nobody does.

But the field is changing underneath us right now. And the CISOs still running 2023 playbooks won't survive 2026.
