COPEX: Benchmarking LLM Robustness to Adversarial Context across Model Context Protocol Layers

Large language models increasingly mediate tool use in Model Context Protocol MCP systems, where adversarial influence may enter through user instructions, tool schemas, tool outputs, or protocol messages. Existing benchmarks often evaluate deployed agents, conflating model susceptibility with...

When Intelligence Fails: An Empirical Study on Why LLMs Struggle with Password Cracking

The remarkable capabilities of Large Language Models LLMs in natural language understanding and generation have sparked interest in their potential for cybersecurity applications, including password guessing. In this study, we conduct an empirical investigation into the efficacy of pre-trained LL...
