Few days ago, I used Fable 5 on one of our biggest client projects.
I used it as my full security audit engineer before handing it over.
It went deep. Ran a complete end-to-end audit, trying to breach the application from every possible angle.
What I got is genuinely useful:
- Every hypothesis path it explored
- What it accepted as real issues
- What it rejected and exactly why
- The full reasoning and alternative attack paths it considered
Instead of just a dry list of bugs, I now have the actual thought process behind the audit.
Next step: Feeding everything into Opus to properly organize and document these approaches.
The goal is to create a reusable security playbook we can reference and improve across current and every future project.
Super excited to see how powerful this becomes once it's properly structured.
Planning to share the entire process.
Meanwhile, sharing this image to give a brief idea on whats the audit looked like
Fable 5 as a Security Audit Engineer?
That’s literally what I’m doing for the next 10 days.
The mission?
Run a full security audit across every client project we've built so far.
Not a shallow scan. I want it to go deep, like a senior security engineer who’s paranoid about everything.
Specifically, I’m asking Fable to hunt for:
• Unknown vulnerabilities and overlooked attack surfaces
• Business logic flaws that might allow unintended actions
• Classic OWASP Top 10 risks (IDORs, auth bypasses, injection issues, etc.)
• Sneaky edge cases where the code looks correct but can still be abused in production
I want it thinking like a real attacker, not just running checklists.
But the real value isn’t just finding bugs.
For every single finding and even when it investigates something and rules it out, I’m forcing Fable to document its full reasoning process in extreme detail.
Things like:
- What code/context it looked at
- Why it got suspicious in the first place
- How it tried to verify or exploit the issue
- What alternative attack paths it explored
- Why it eventually accepted or rejected the hypothesis
This is the part I’m most excited about.
I’m not just collecting a list of vulnerabilities. I’m capturing the **actual security mindset** and investigative workflow.
Every thought process, every dead end, every clever angle, all of it is getting saved.
At the end of these 10 days, everything will go into a living document called:
`SECURITY_AUDIT_THOUGHTBANK.md`
This won’t be another boring vulnerability list.
It will become our internal playbook , the accumulated knowledge of how a frontier model thinks through complex security audits.
The kind of resource we can reuse and improve with every future project.
Basically, I’m treating Fable 5 as my temporary senior security engineer and stealing all its knowledge.
Super curious to see how good (or limited) it actually is at this level of deep reasoning.
Will share the final thoughtbank when it’s done (or at least the interesting parts).
