AI-Assisted CTF Solving and Bug Bounty Hunting

I integrated Cyber-Ornith Obliterated, an uncensored cybersecurity model running locally in LM Studio, with HexStrike AI through MCP to execute tools on Kali Linux.

I demonstrated the setup by solving Root-Me’s HTML source-code CTF challenge. The model retrieved the page, inspected its HTML and identified a password exposed in a comment. I verified the command output and submitted the answer, successfully completing the challenge.

Beyond CTFs, I built this project to support AI-assisted bug bounty hunting, including web response analysis and vulnerability investigation within authorized scope, with human oversight and verification of findings.

The part where the model pulls the page and spots the password hidden in an HTML comment is a neat example of automating that tedious manual glance.

👋 I'm new to Contra and I did my first post without realizing I hadn't even introduced myself!

Hey I'm Katya, I'm an AI Systems Architect, marketer and yoga teacher.

I build AI systems that bring in business and handle the work behind it. A voice agent that calls new leads back within seconds and books the appointment. A pipeline that traced 16,900+ leads to the ads that brought them. Listing videos made from the photos a real estate agent already has.

The marketing side came first. I built the multi-channel campaign for Jay Shetty's launch (22 million followers). After that I discovered the tech world and when AI came along, I realized I'm a builder at heart and never looked back! Building is so much fun 🤍

Here's what I've shared:

My first post: on building a fully AI-made YouTube video, end to end, because I'm camera shy 🙈 https://contra.com/community/MP9mFRuT-im-building-my-first-fully-ai-made

Last thing, if you're building with AI video or automation, I'd like to see what you're working on And if you're hiring: I may be new to Contra but definitely not new to this work. Reach out for AI agent builds, apps, websites or anything in between.

P.s The video below is my AI avatar. My profile video is the real me :)
