Scoping an AI agent engagement
Define targets, rules of engagement and written authorization before you send a single prompt.




Companies are shipping AI agents faster than anyone can test them. In this live mentorship you learn to professionally attack and defend them — scope the engagement, break the agent, fix what you found, and write the report a client pays for — with every report reviewed personally by Luciano Ferrari.


Every company is wiring AI agents into email, documents, databases and internal tools. Those agents read untrusted content, call real APIs and act on behalf of users. Very few security teams know how to test them.
You've probably seen the demos: an agent leaks its system prompt, calls a tool it shouldn't, or follows instructions hidden in a web page. Watching that isn't the same as doing it on demand, on a target you've never seen — and then explaining the risk in a way a client will act on.
Most people stall in the same two places: they have no structured method, and nobody reviews their work. “I got it to do something weird” is not a finding. Scope, impact, reproduction, severity and a fix that survives a re-test — that's what clients and employers pay for.
This mentorship gives you both: a method for attacking and defending AI agents, and personal review of every pentest report you write, until professional-grade work is simply how you operate.




Eight weeks of live work on AI agents, a private community, Friday office hours, and personal feedback on every report. You finish with a capstone you can put in front of employers or clients — and 16 CPE credits.

Security professionals, pentesters and engineers who want to add AI/LLM red-teaming to their skillset — the fastest-growing gap in security. You don't need AI expertise or deep coding skills, just basic security familiarity and comfort with the command line.
A professional pentest report template, a scope one-pager, the "Introduction to Prompt Hacking for LLMs" course as a free bonus, and 16 CPE credits — tools you keep using long after week eight.

The professional structure for an AI agent pentest report: scope, findings, severity, reproduction, fixes and the executive summary.

Scope and authorize an AI agent engagement in one page: targets, tools in scope, rules of engagement and sign-off.

FREE bonus: the full “Introduction to Prompt Hacking for LLMs” course, a $49.99 value, included with your seat.

Eight weeks of live mentorship counts toward your certification requirements, plus a capstone you can show employers or clients.
Eight weeks, four modules, one live session every Tuesday at 8 PM ET. Each week builds on the last, from scoping the engagement to delivering the final report.

Define targets, rules of engagement and written authorization before you send a single prompt.

Map what the agent can reach and call, record its normal behavior, and find where the trust boundaries really are.

Get the agent to drop its instructions and follow yours — including task smuggling inside harmless-looking requests.

Extract hidden instructions and sensitive data, and enumerate every tool the agent can call.

Plant instructions in documents and web pages the agent reads, and watch it act on them.

Chain small issues into real impact, then score it with the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS.

Recommend fixes that actually hold, then re-test to prove it — the defensive half clients pay for.

Write the complete pentest report, present the executive readout, and get your capstone reviewed.
Watching an agent get broken teaches you that it's possible. A repeatable method — scope, attack, defend, report — plus personal review of your work teaches you to deliver it professionally on a system you've never seen.
You know it can be done, but not how to do it — or report it — yourself.
A method you run on any AI agent, with reports clients pay for.
Live every Tuesday at 8 PM ET, starting in January. You attack, you defend, and every report you write gets reviewed.
Set up an AI agent engagement the way a professional does, before any testing begins.

Take control of the agent's behavior and get out what it was told to protect.

Attack through what the agent reads, abuse what it can do, and measure how bad it is.

Turn findings into fixes and deliverables that clients and leadership act on.

Everything below for $997 — or 3 monthly payments of $349.

Eight live sessions, every Tuesday at 8 PM ET, starting in January. Each one covers a stage of a real AI agent engagement, with your questions answered live.

Every report you write gets direct feedback from Luciano.

Share findings, ask questions and work alongside the cohort between sessions.

Bring the target you're stuck on or the scope you were just handed.

A complete engagement you can show employers or clients.

Count your eight weeks toward your certification requirements.

The full LufSec course, included at no extra cost ($49.99 value).

The structure behind client-ready AI pentest reports.

Scope and authorize an AI agent engagement in one page.
Weekly live sessions, a private community, office hours and personal feedback — so you're never stuck on your own between sessions.
8 PM ET, for eight weeks. Real attack and defense work on AI agents — not slides, not a highlight reel.
Tool access, documents, web browsing, chained actions. Not a chatbot in a browser tab.
You break it, then recommend controls that survive a re-test. That's the half most courses skip.
Every pentest report you write gets direct feedback until it reads like the version a client pays for.
Bring your actual work: the scope you were just handed, the target you're stuck on.

Week 8, capstone

Luciano Ferrari has spent more than 25 years in cybersecurity and is VP of Cybersecurity at a fintech company. He has trained over 40,000 students, and his LufSec courses are listed in the U.S. NICCS/CISA training catalog.
He holds the CISSP, CISM, CRISC, C|CISO, CEH and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer certifications, has published multiple articles in Hakin9 Magazine, and runs a cybersecurity YouTube channel with about 45,000 subscribers.
He also created Break the Bot, an AI red-teaming challenge — and keeps this cohort to five seats so he can review every report himself.

Join the first live session, meet the cohort and see exactly how the mentorship runs. If it isn't right for you, ask for a refund any time before session 2 and you get every dollar back.
The only thing that's limited is space. Five seats, because Luciano reviews every report personally.
Pay in full, or split it into three monthly payments. Same seat, same mentorship.
Full refund any time before session 2 — zero risk.
You need basic security familiarity and comfort with the command line — not AI expertise, and no deep coding. If you understand core security concepts, you're ready.
Join the first session. If it isn't the right fit, ask for a full refund any time before session 2 and you get every dollar back.
Yes. Pay $997 once, or choose 3 monthly payments of $349.
The cohort starts in January, with live sessions every Tuesday at 8 PM ET for eight weeks. There are only 5 seats.
AI agents are going into production everywhere, and the people who can professionally attack and defend them are still rare. In eight weeks, you can be one of them.
The cohort is capped at five so every report gets a real review. When the seats are gone, the next chance is the next cohort — and if it's not right for you, you're covered by a full refund before session 2.
