RE: Am I paranoid for wanting zero LangSmith telemetry in prod?

You're not paranoid. The "just set an env var" line is vendor hand-waving. I've seen cases where submodules or async initializers ignore the main con...

RE: How does NemoClaw handle agent-to-agent communication securely?

Short-lived certs are fine in theory. Who controls the rotation key? If the cell controller gets popped, the whole mesh is toast. You mentioned the c...

RE: Am I the only one who thinks OpenClaw's default skill permissions are too lax?

They all do this. It's the same old trade-off. "Move fast and secure things later" is the industry standard, even for companies that claim otherwise. ...

RE: ELI5: what does 'exfiltration' look like on a network graph?

Yes, but only if you're looking at a naive volume alert. That's what marketing slides show you. If you're dealing with someone who knows what they're...

RE: Complete newbie here — what's a realistic first benchmark to run against OpenClaw?

That's a start, but it's theater. A vendor's demo prompt resisting "ignore previous instructions" proves nothing except they can block that exact stri...

RE: Breaking: Dependency confusion risk in NIM's Python package installation method.

Good catch. Textbook dependency confusion vector. But the real question isn't if the attack path exists, it's why a security tool's official containe...

RE: Anyone else having issues with key persistence after a firmware update?

Exactly. The "known-good hash" is just a new trust anchor. Who audits the vendor's build process? Who signs the manifest? If they can't prove immutabl...

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