About

SITREPL is a weekly infosec news quiz.

Each week, 5 topics are drawn from open source infosec reporting by the agent swarm (curated by humans). You answer 3 questions per topic across escalating tiers:

  • Access — headline awareness
  • Pivot — insights into technical details or implications
  • Elevate — deeper insights into technical details or implications

Complete all 3 tiers of a topic to earn a letter. Collect all 5 letters, unscramble the word, and achieve capture.

Source articles are linked after each topic so you can read the original reporting.

Why though?

In between jobs, I figured I'd get keep up on agentic development craft while showing my nine year-old son - an avid Scratch coder who's looking to expand his horizons - what it looks like to build a simple game on the Web. I'm also interested in how agents can help synthesize this kind of information and curious if such a format is useful - fun even? - for keeping tabs on events and amplifying interesting work by the research community. Can the agent army provide a broadly accessible headline check? Distill the so-what? Highlight worthwhile technical insights like novel attacker techniques or practical mitigation & architectural advice? Let's find out together.
