===================Jason Haddix delivered a talk at NDC Security 2026 in Oslo titled "Attacking AI," presenting findings from Arcanum's AI security assessments conducted in 2024 and 2025.
The core contribution is a 7-point methodology for assessing AI-enabled systems, specifically those that connect LLMs to web applications and internal tools. This is distinct from academic AI red teaming, which often focuses on getting frontier models to produce policy-violating outputs in isolation. Haddix emphasizes that real-world AI assessments involve integrated systems where the LLM is a component, not the entire attack surface.
Key technical points:
• The methodology addresses the gap between academic prompt injection research and practical assessment of production AI systems
• Arcanum released a prompt injection taxonomy as a resource for testers, categorizing attack vectors specific to LLM-integrated applications
• Haddix drew on experience from AI CTFs, notably the Bad Words competition run by the Bossy Group, who operate the "Ply the prompter" jailbreak methodology and routinely break frontier models within 24 hours of release
• The CTF context involved getting safety-tuned models to produce prohibited outputs (drug synthesis, explicit content), which maps to the bypass techniques relevant to production assessmentsPractical implications:
The distinction between academic red teaming and production assessment is substantive. In production, the LLM is connected to data stores, APIs, and user-facing interfaces. Attack vectors expand beyond pure prompt engineering to include context manipulation, RAG poisoning, and privilege escalation through the LLM's integrations.
The taxonomy and methodology are positioned as practitioner resources rather than theoretical frameworks, which fills a genuine gap. Most publicly available AI assessment content leans academic.
Haddix has 21+ years in offensive security and transitioned to AI assessments roughly two years ago when existing pentest clients began integrating LLMs into their applications.

So good to be back an re-live all this #Fallout2 pure awesomeness again after so many years.
Even more so thanks to the amazing Fallout2 Restoration Project (https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project) - so many fixes and cool new things! Just wow.
They simply don't make games like #Fallout and #Arcanum anymore. Never will probably.
P.S.: long live #troikagames

Paikalla ollaan, mutta pääpuhujaa vielä uupuu! #TurunYliopisto'n #Arcanum-rakennus ja #MelkoYleistäKielitiedettä on ilmoitettu klo 16–19, mutta ehkä aloitus tapahtuu perinteisen akateemisen vartin myöhemmin… #kielitiede #tiedejuttuja

Man it's good to play a refreshed version of a game you used to spend hours in more than 20 years ago 👏.
P.S.: I wonder why do modern day games have much better visuals but are lacking in terms of soul and atmosphere? Take for example #Fallout 2, #Arcanum, #Heroes 3, #Stronghold, #GTA3, #Quake, #MaxPayne...

Fond d'écran de Novembre. Illustration tirée de #Ravnica (un des univers de #MagicTheGathering) par Svetlin Velinov. Je ne suis pas joueur de Magic (plus depuis le collège en tout cas), mais cette illustration me rappelle #Arcanum, un de mes jeux favoris.

some of the best news i've heard all year: alex batalov (who worked on the F1 and F2 engine re-implementations) is now taking on reverse-engineering Arcanum's engine

(I say that because maybe you've seen me say it here and I don't wanna be *that guy*)
So there's the #Arcanum rules for #Ironsworn, but I wanted to also pull in some of the lore, just maybe at a more dialed-back state. And man, does this hold promise.
So now this might become my "kinda-a-Witcher becomes a weird gopher for a covenant of weird wizards" game. And then I can hop from character to character, which is how an Ars Magica game is supposed to go.

@AndreasDavour That's literally the cool thing about Ars Magica. The thing that's not so cool about it is the fact that it went from a relatively slim tome that allowed you to elaborate on things pretty effectively with second edition to the bloated wallowing creature of perhaps a thousand too many pages of fifth.
But that's okay because there's a really nice add-on for #Ironsworn that effectively gives you Ars Magica magic: #Arcanum . And it's much more narratively focused, structured rules. At this point, I wouldn't play AM any other way.

Back-cover ad for Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura from 2000. Anyone else play this game, or just me?

Did anyone else play Arcanum after seeing its 2000 comic book advertisement? It's fascinating how ads can introduce us to new games.

[Перевод] Именитый геймдизайнер поделился, каким бы был Arcanum 2: Journey to the Center of Arcanum
Совсем недавно я делал вольный перевод рассказа Дарио Казали (одного из разработчиков Half-Life) о своих воспоминаниях, связанных с разработкой этой культовой игры. Что ж, сегодня хочу продолжить данную рубрику и поделиться историями из жизни Тима Кейна – важного для индустрии геймдизайнера, одного из идеологов и создателей Fallout 1 и 2, а также многих других отличных игр. В ролике на своём YouTube канале он вспоминает о том, как создавалась и какой могла бы стать так и не вышедшая Arcanum 2: Journey to the Center of Arcanum. Поэтому, если вы владеете английским языком, можете послушать этот сказ в оригинале. Ну а я, пожалуй, начну.

J'ai tout de suite adoré #Arcanum, dès sa preview dans #Joystick (lue et relue pendant, ça m'a marqué, des vacances de Noël 2000 curieusement passées à Nouakchott), puis en découvrant sa superbe boîte (embarquant l'#ost) et plus encore, évidemment, après y avoir joué ! Pour moi un classique à la hauteur des premiers #Fallout, visiblement pas si bon que ça quand je vois qu'il est beaucoup moins passé à la postérité. Sans doute à cause de ses bugs et de son équilibrage ? #retrogaming #jeuxvideo

Jeśli jeden z twórców #Arcanum i Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines mówi, że jego nowa gra stanowi nieślubne dziecko tych dwóch gier, to nie potrzebuję niczego więcej, by zacząć się jarać.
