We are super excited to share that we acquired the Shift Plugin and we are making it free to Caido paid users 🚀
As part of the deal, Joseph Thacker aka Rez0 is joining Caido as an advisor to help with our AI initiatives.
What is Shift?
Shift is a Caido plugin that is a smart AI companion for your hacking. It can craft payloads, Match&Replace rules, httpql queries and much more.
Shift in Caido
In the short term, we are making Shift free for all customers of Caido. Just update/install your Shift plugin and you will be able to use it!
In the medium term, we will switch the backend of Shift to run on your own computer with your own API keys. This is our stance on AI, you should be in control of the upstream providers you want to use and we should not have access to your data.
In the longer term, some elements of Shift will be integrated into the Caido core to complement our Assistant offering. We will also extend our Assistant to support your own API keys.
Shift Customers
Since Shift is becoming a part of Caido, we will be cancelling all the subscriptions to Shift in the coming days. If you are still being billed by Shift, please contact support@caido.io and we will make sure to fix that.
