Redwood ResearchScrewtape 1 is a pipeline that transcribes an agent into an evasive action-only monitor (not reviewing the agent's reasoning chain) by inserting the attack into the transcription and repeatedly refining it until the monitor no longer captures it. Use an LLM verifier to check the edited transcription and attack description to confirm whether the attack is real, obviously harmful, and likely to succeed in the original environment.
Anthropic ResearchClaude discovered within half an hour that the seed values for NIST P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384, and P-521 curves came from the C library's lrand48 random number generator, not any hash algorithm, initialized with Unix timestamps. This discovery did not constitute a cryptographic vulnerability but rather enhanced confidence in the choice of curve parameters without backdoors or intentional weaknesses.
