 ......................................................\n**Getting Started 
 with** [Unsloth Desktop](https://unsloth.ai/docs/desktop)\n— See what's 
 possible with local AI right out of the box\n\n**What\, Why\, How: Local-F
 irst AI**\n— Why running models locally matters for privacy\, cost\, and
  control -\n\n**Open Source & Freedom**\n— Why OSS and "free as in freed
 om" are essential to owning your AI\n\n**Installation Walkthroughs**\n\\- 
 Mac setup\n\n**Using Unsloth Desktop Search**\n— Unsloth Desktop include
 s web search from the privacy preseving [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.co
 m/) search service.\n\n**Q&A**\n— Your questions answered\n**Practice/Pr
 oblem-Solving Time**\n— Bring a task or use case you want to tackle\; we
 'll work through it together.\n**Member Demos**\n— Share what you built 
 or learned during the session (optional)\n**Review & Feedback**\n— What 
 should we cover next? What could be improved?\n...........................
 ...................................................................\n\n**W
 hat to Bring**\nA laptop (Mac or Windows) if you want to install and exper
 iment during the session. No prior setup required — we'll do everything 
 together. Also not required\, just bring your curiosity!\n\n**Who Should A

SUMMARY:Breaking Models 🚨AI Security
DESCRIPTION:Hacker Dojo\nBreaking Models🚨 Session 5: Leak & Build Editi
 on\n\nPart 1 - LLM02: Sensitive Information Disclosure\n\nThe stuff AI app
 s leak: API keys\, customer records\, system prompts\, other people’s co
 nversations. This category sat at #6 on the original OWASP Top 10 for LLMs
 . In the 2026 update it jumped to #2\, right behind prompt injection\, and
  it holds that spot in 2026. We’ll walk through how these leaks actually
  happen. Most of them need no jailbreak\, just normal usage\, and what act
 ually stops them.\n\nPart 2 : Design exercise: build a secure agentic syst
 em\n\nSomething new this session. Instead of only talking about broken sys
 tems\, we design one that isn’t. Together we’ll threat model an agenti
 c AI app\, where it can leak\, where it can be hijacked - and then sketch 
 a secure architecture for it. You do the practical design\, not just the l
 istening.\n\nTalk first\, then the exercise\, then open floor. No vendor p
 itches. Beginners welcome!\n\n📩 RSVP (or to present at a future session
 ): aisecurityinbay@proton.me\n\n📅 9 August · 2:30pm - 4:30pm\n\n📍 H

SUMMARY:Breaking Models 🚨AI Security
DESCRIPTION:Hacker Dojo\nThe Bay Area AI Security Research Meetup picks up
  where we left off on OWASP LLM03:2026 Excessive Agency. Last session cove
 red the foundations: what agents\, tools and harnesses actually are\, and 
 how excessive functionality\, permissions and autonomy turn into real atta
 cks. This Sunday we go hands-on: hardening Claude Code against each LLM03 
 criterion : permission modes\, settings scopes (user project / local manag
 ed)\, sandboxing\, hooks\, and how to see transparently what an agent can 
 already touch before you trust it with anything. We'll map every control b
 ack to the chapter's mitigations and pressure-test what holds up.\n\nWe'll
  also have a talk and live demo from Andy Chan (embedded systems and platf
 orm security consultant) on instruction-file injection in AI coding agents
 . He'll reconstruct a real incident : a fake take-home interview repo wher
 e a poisoned .cursor/rules file plus a repo-supplied MCP tool got an agent
  to hand over AWS and kube credentials in under two minutes\, from one inn
 ocent "how do I run this?"\, then cover which models refuse\, why the mode
 l isn't the control\, and the deterministic defenses that actually stop it
 .\n\nTo attend or present\, email aisecurityinbay@proton.me.
