Title: STRIATUM-CTF: A Protocol-Driven Agentic Framework for General-Purpose CTF Solving

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.22577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in code generation, yet they struggle with the multi-step, stateful reasoning required for offensive cybersecurity operations. Existing research often relies on static benchmarks that fail to capture the dynamic nature of real-world vulnerabilities. In this work, we introduce STRIATUM-CTF (A Search-based Test-time Reasoning Inference Agent for Tactical Utility Maximization in Cybersecurity)
