The full story

To test whether AI can catch subtle cryptographic flaws that static analysers miss, the author deliberately wrote broken AES code and ran it through commercial tools and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Claude found a classic padding-oracle vulnerability and a subtle side-channel leak in the error handling.

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
