Aladdin Elston — AI Red Team, Offensive Security, Security Program Leadership

AI Red Teaming, autonomous AI pentest orchestration with Strix, PentAGI and Shannon

About

Security leader and offensive security practitioner (CISSP, CRTO, PNPT; US Navy veteran). I build AI red team and autonomous security programs: multi-agent pentest orchestration, LLM and agent attack-surface testing, and the governance that keeps autonomous tooling safe to run.

Background: Wells Fargo (Offensive Security Research), Altimetrik (Head of Information Security), Apple, Intuit (Product Security / Red Team), PlayStation (Security GRC), Cigital (Red Team), Synack Red Team.

This GitHub is where I publish the public, vendor-neutral side of that work: AI attack tooling, red team playbooks, cloud pentest methodology and small security tools.

In my current role, the autonomous pentest program I run has surfaced 50+ critical vulnerabilities, each ticketed with a reproducible proof of concept, alongside 13 human-supervised AI security agents and 17 automated daily security checks.

What I'm working on

  • Autonomous AI pentesting, orchestrated. Coordinating open-source AI pentest agents (Strix, PentAGI, Shannon) as one continuous program: multi-agent coordination, scheduled rotation across targets, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and findings that flow into triage only with a reproducible proof of concept.
  • Rules of engagement for AI agents. Defined scan windows, no brute force, at most one credential-spray attempt per account, signed scope, full audit logging. Autonomy without guardrails is just an incident.
  • Human-in-the-loop agentic security operations. Specialized agents for AppSec PR review, vulnerability and dependency remediation, compliance automation and vendor review, with every risky action behind a human approval gate.
  • LLM and agent attack surface. Prompt injection, jailbreak chains, MCP/tool abuse and adversarial ML, alongside AI strategy coursework at MIT Sloan.
