Curriculum/Cybersecurity/AI Application: Cybersecurity/AI for Penetration Testing and Red Teaming
40 minAdvanced

AI for Penetration Testing and Red Teaming

After this lesson, you will be able to: Understand how AI augments offensive security, recon, exploit generation, red teaming.

Attackers (and red teams) use AI for: faster recon, better phishing, exploit POC drafting, evasion. Defenders need to understand these to anticipate.

Prerequisites:AI for Vulnerability Assessment and Code Security

AI in attacker workflow

Recon. LLMs summarize OSINT findings. Phishing, generate convincing emails at scale. Exploit POC, draft Python from CVE description. Evasion, rewrite malware to evade YARA. Persistence ideas, brainstorm with LLM.

💡 WormGPT, FraudGPT

Uncensored LLMs sold on dark web. Real, but quality is mid (often jailbroken Claude/GPT-4 with custom prompts). The bigger threat is *commercial* LLMs used cleverly.

Red team uses

  1. 1

    1. Phishing email generation per target.

  2. 2

    2. Voice cloning for vishing (ElevenLabs, etc.).

  3. 3

    3. Code obfuscation rewrites.

  4. 4

    4. Walking ATT&CK chain. LLM suggests next step.

  5. 5

    5. Report writing. LLM drafts findings, human edits.

Defender takeaway

Phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2). Out-of-band confirmation for high-risk actions (no voice-only authorization). Behavioral detection (volume goes up; signatures go down).
