Evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) agents on complex multi-step cybersecurity tasks requires structured, reproducible evaluation rubrics. We present BraceGreen, a framework that formalizes Capture-the-Flag (CTF) attack paths as knowledge graphs and uses them as gold-standard rubrics for agentic LLM evaluation. Each node in our knowledge graphs represents an attack step annotated with MITRE ATT&CK tactics, goals, commands, expected outputs, and semantic outcomes, while edges encode prerequisites, dependencies, and alternative paths. Our LangGraph-based evaluation workflow employs LLM-as-judge with chain-of-thought reasoning to semantically compare agent predictions against knowledge graph-encoded alternatives. We contribute a benchmark of 7 CTF machines with knowledge graph annotations, three evaluation modes (command prediction, goal inference, anticipated result), and integration with live machine infrastructure via virtual machines and a MCP server. Our approach bridges the gap between unstructured CTF writeups and graph-structured evaluation rubrics.

Humans frequently are able to read and interpret emotions of others by directly taking verbal and non-verbal signals in human-to-human communication into account or to infer or even experience emotions from mediated stories. For computers, however, emotion recognition is a complex problem: Thoughts and feelings are the roots of many behavioural responses and they are deeply entangled with neurophysiological changes within humans. As such, emotions are very subjective, often are expressed in a subtle manner, and are highly depending on context. For example, machine learning approaches for text-based sentiment analysis often rely on incorporating sentiment lexicons or language models to capture the contextual meaning. This paper explores if and how we further can enhance sentiment analysis using biofeedback of humans which are experiencing emotions while reading texts. Specifically, we record the heart rate and brain waves of readers that are presented with short texts which have been annotated with the emotions they induce. We use these physiological signals to improve the performance of a lexicon-based sentiment classifier. We find that the combination of several biosignals can improve the ability of a text-based classifier to detect the presence of a sentiment in a text on a per-sentence level.
