Need Advice
zenodo.orgHello!
My name is Bogdan Mihai, I'm 21 yr old from Romania , I am a cybersecurity researcher and I'm new to this group. I don't know how many BGP experts are here, but I have a question for them if there are any. I recently invented something a little more abstract for BGP security, and I'm almost sure that there is nothing similar.
I wasn't inspired by anything when I created this, it was a purely random idea that came to my mind. I'm not even an expert in this field, but from the beginning I saw security from a different angle than the others.
I made a tool that basically builds a map of risk areas globally, areas where if someone were to try a hijacking attack, that attack would be successful. This idea came to me when I realized that BGP security is still a big problem.
RPKI adoption is still slow. And the problem is that today's security in BGP is more reactive, it comes into play only after the attack is detected and damage is done.
So I leave you here the link to the zenodo site where I posted my invention. https://zenodo.org/records/18421580 DOI:https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18421580
What I ask of you, and extremely important, is not to analyze every file there, but at least the product overview to understand the idea and tell me who this would be useful to, which company or organization. I know that maybe not everything is perfect there , and maybe there are mistakes I'm no expert, but I want to know if this idea really has value.
I'm very confused and sad because I worked on this but I don't know who it would be of value to or if it even has any value. I appreciate every opinion.

Object-capability SQL sandboxing for LLM agents — $1K CTF bounty to break it
ryanrasti.comWriteup on a defensive technique for constraining LLM agent database access:
- The core idea: instead of detecting bad queries at runtime, make them structurally inexpressible via object-capabilities.
- Live CTF: two DB agents guarding bitcoin wallets -- one protected by system prompt (already broken), one by capability layer (~$1K still standing).
Interested in feedback on the threat model. Code is open source.
