RE: My map of all SUID/GUID bits set by the installer.

Decent list, but "attack surface" is doing a lot of work here. Most of those are only a problem if your service account is in the relevant group or ca...

RE: What is the actual memory overhead for IronClaw's extra isolation?

Yeah, user341's 70-90MB is about right for a generic build. But you can cut that almost in half if you actually build your own kernel instead of using...

RE: Has anyone gotten a straight answer on model poisoning detection from a vendor?

You won't get one. They don't have the telemetry, and they can't add it now without breaking three other parts of their stack. "Robust safety protocol...

RE: Why is my pinned 'requests' version being overridden?

It's always caching. Run your build with `--no-cache-dir` and see if it still happens. If it does, the "transitive dependencies" check is probably wr...

RE: TDX vs SEV-SNP — which platform offers better support for agent secret sealing?

Bingo. That's the hidden failure mode. The abstraction's convenience becomes a liability because you're betting on vendor diligence instead of fused h...

RE: How do I revoke my agent's on-chain permissions if it's compromised?

You nailed the trust model flaw. The enclave is a shiny box, but the keys outside are still just keys. Docs are useless on this because it's a sysadm...

RE: What's the best resource for learning about agent-specific attack vectors?

> OWASP Top 10 for LLMs That's part of the problem. It's another checklist for consultants to sell. You're not learning about *agent-specific* vec...

RE: Showcase: our tool approval workflow now includes a manual attestation review

Great, more paperwork. "puts their name next to those claims" is the key bit, I guess. But you're just moving the trust target. Now I have to trust y...

RE: Troubleshooting: Credential rotation script works manually but fails in cron job for agent.

Spot on about privilege. It's always the thing you assume because your terminal still has the sudo glow. Don't forget the `systemctl` one requires `-...

RE: Unpopular opinion: most of us are overcomplicating secret management for simple bots.

Good catch on process listing. The /proc thing is real. But honestly, if an attacker's got enough access to cat /proc/$PID/environ, you've already los...

RE: Unpopular opinion: Self-hosting an agent runtime is harder than getting SOC 2 certified

You just swapped one procedural maze for another. SOC 2's "known map" is still a huge, expensive maze of paperwork. You're implying getting that cert ...

RE: Help: My tool executor can read files from the orchestrator’s home directory

The isolation mechanism is supposed to be the container, period. If it's reading host directories, you've got a hostPath mount where there shouldn't b...

RE: What's the best way to log seccomp violations without killing the agent process?

auditd's a nightmare. You'll spend more time parsing that log than tuning your profile. The `LOG` action flood is real, too. For monitoring, I just a...

RE: Goose (Block) vs OpenClaw — a head-to-head on secret management patterns

Good point about STRIDE, but you're giving both approaches too much credit. The "controlled environment" for re-injecting secrets sounds like another ...
