For all of you uber-geeks, script kiddies, wannabe h4x0rs, you'll love this one. For everyone else, it's a lesson in how important site / app security can be. Just like the video, I'll start with the tldr; I built a new app: https://hellomolly.pro Ran it through some local security audits. Fixed what was found. Then pulled out the 44 magnum of security testing suites - Kali Linux - plugged Claude into it, and set it loose on HelloMolly. Found stuff that were critical holes, fixed them. HelloMolly is locked down. A few weeks ago, on the AIS+ Saturday Chill Call, @Matthew Sutherland mentioned he has "Red Team" commands that he uses for locking down the security of his apps. At the time, I had 2 basic security audit commands that I used. This got me thinking... maybe I should investigate more robust security audits (slash commands). Pulled up Claude.ai and started brainstorming. Ended up with 14 unique (12 new ones plus my original 2) security commands, covering pretty much anything you could think of. Next, because I've always wanted to play with Kali Linux, but never had a reason to, I popped into Claude Code and started planning how to create and run a "Kali Claude" (my term) instance. I didn't want to partition my primary machine's harddrive and boot into a separate partition, I wanted a bootable USB drive. That way, if things got out of hand, I could just pull the plug... literally. (Just because you're paranoid, don't me they're not after you) Settled on an external NVMe drive, instead of a USB drive. Biggest reason is speed. NVMe drives are ridiculously fast, so as long as your cable and your port supports the read / write speeds, it's pretty much indistinguishable from your native hard drive. My laptop and tower both use NVMe drives, so I'm a little spoiled already. Got a USB drive also to write the ISO to. Then booted into the USB, followed the instructions for installing Kali Linux on a removable device, and about 8 hours later was ready to go to town. It really takes HOURS to set it up. Maybe the USB device was horribly slow, or it's just that big (I think it's 7gb installed). So, be prepared to just walk away while it does what it needs to.

I started this community because I believe you can build a meaningfully better working life with AI — and I wanted a place to figure that out together, practically. I'm Matthew. I run ByteFlowAI, an AI automation consultancy. I'm building in public, and Claude Desktop is my primary tool — the foundation for everything in this course. I have more good questions than definitive answers. What I can promise: your time is respected, the lessons are honest, and this community is yours as much as it's mine. If you haven't started, Lesson 0 is in the Classroom. Then come back and introduce yourself — name, what you do, one thing you want AI to take off your plate. I read every single one.
