  • Project Glasswing: When AI Becomes the Ultimate Hacker—and Defender
    Apr 20 2026

    Anthropic has introduced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative powered by an unreleased AI model called Claude Mythos. This system can identify zero-day vulnerabilities, generate exploits, and even help fix them—often without human input.

    But there’s a catch: it’s considered too powerful for public release.

    In this episode, we discuss what Project Glasswing is, why it matters, and what it means for the future of cybersecurity, red teaming, and AI-driven threats.

    Is this the beginning of AI defending us—or the start of something much harder to control?

  • The Dark Web Explained with John Hammond
    Apr 13 2026

    The dark web is often misunderstood, but it plays an important role in both privacy technology and cybercrime activity.

    In this episode, Tom Eston speaks with cybersecurity researcher and educator John Hammond about what the dark web actually is and how it has evolved in recent years. The discussion covers underground marketplaces, ransomware leak sites, threat intelligence collection, and the operational risks involved in dark web investigations.

    John also shares details about his new training course Dark Web 2, which focuses on using a hacker mindset to gather cyber threat intelligence from dark web sources.
