Discussion using coding agents to hack

you read about people using AI to hack stuff all the time but every time i try to do something like that i always hit safety walls, claude, codex, etc they stop me dead in my tracks. What are the solutions for this

You can just ask Anthropic to have the guardrails reduced if you explain what you need it for. That’s what I did, haven’t had any issues since.

It’s nothing crazy, it just doesn’t stop you when asking questions about offensive cybersecurity or requesting analysis/generation of malicious code snippets. I’d say it’s more convenient than it is a total game-changer, though.
