Mahaswar and Shifana (Miyano), has launched a suite of open-source tools for mobile-first security research and AI red teaming. The tools, including Termux-fixer, Kali-Termux-Pro, Wraith-Scanner, and Kali_Critic, target Android ARM64 devices to address the gap between desktop and mobile security tooling. The team also identified a safety alignment bypass in Gemini 2.5 Pro related to CVE-2023-32233, which was reported to Google but marked out of scope.", "body_md": "**Mobile-First Security Research | AI Red Teaming | Open-Source Tooling**\n\nI'm **Niranj R.
