AI As The New Hacker Frontier
summary
Claim: attackers already use AI to cut reconnaissance and scaling costs, turning noisy hammers into precise scalpels. Examples include initial access brokers selling persistent footholds, automated password stuffing across services, and a home lab bot that scans for known exploits, gains access, installs payloads and propagates — it works in controlled tests. Practical tools: LLMs for target discovery, scraping error messages to find AI deployments, and automated exploitation chains. Defense focus shifts to attack path mapping, strict supplier controls and zero‑trust.
