Security Research Lab

Security research for complex software. Human-led, AI-amplified.

Combining research expertise with field-tested LLM methodologies.

How We Work

Expert researchers, leveraging powerful AI stack.

(gdb) break attack_surface::hypotheses

Offense

We combine decades of security research expertise and carefully crafted LLM methodologies to achieve efficient, wide and accurate vulnerability discovery coverage.

(gdb) watch fix_validation.status

Defense

We turn offensive research conclusions into practical defense strategies: root-cause analysis, remediation guidance, variant hunting, fix validation, and engineering feedback your team can apply across future releases.

LLM-Enhanced Research

Human Expertise. LLM enhanced

LucidBit Labs researchers use field-tested LLM-assisted workflows to make vulnerability research broader, faster, and more systematic - without outsourcing judgment to the model.

LLMs help us understand large codebases, explore attack surfaces, generate vulnerability hypotheses, analyze diffs, and search for variants. But they are not treated as magical oracles, and their output is never accepted as ground truth.

Our engagements are led by senior researchers who understand the target system, select the right tools and workflows, and validate findings through code analysis, testing, exploitability review, and manual verification.

How we control the limitations

(gdb) run --repeat --cross-check

Non-determinism

Model output can vary between runs. We use structured workflows, repeated analysis, cross-checking, and researcher review to reduce noise and avoid relying on a single model answer.

(gdb) print finding.proof_required

Accuracy

LLMs can produce false positives, miss runtime constraints, misunderstand code, or confuse intended behavior with security impact. Findings must be proven before they are reported.

(gdb) stepi --expert-directed

Depth

LLMs are useful tools, but their results are lacking without expert application. Our team built expertise in applying these tools with maximal quality.

(gdb) set args --architecture --trust-boundaries

Generic Outcomes

Generic prompts produce generic results. Without target-specific direction, LLMs lose focus and thus, quality. We ground the workflow in the client’s architecture, assets, trust boundaries, critical flows, and realistic attacker assumptions.

Engagement Models

Choose the model that fits the target.

Focused

Focused Research Engagement

A time-boxed engagement for a specific target, release, application, codebase, protocol, binary, or high-risk component.

We efficiently map the system, identify realistic attack paths, validate findings manually, and report vulnerabilities with clear impact, evidence, and remediation guidance.

Best for product launches, major releases, critical components, pre-production review, or focused vulnerability discovery.

Ongoing

Ongoing Security

Systems change. We build a tailored suite of tools to continuously monitor your code for new vulnerabilities.

Our team learns your system, what kind of risks and impacts matter most, how your SDLC works, and how to best integrate into your development process. Build an LLM-powered security process to find new vulnerabilities early, as your code changes. As your systems change over time, we routinely update our models and tooling to keep up with your evolving codebase.
