Wonder if AI will eventually replace some pen testers, or just make their jobs easier?
Does anyone know if there are any open source AI tools specifically for pen testing? I wanna try without breaking the bank.
For those worried about cost, some AI tools offer free tiers with limited scans which is good for small projects.
The AI tools that analyze logs and alert on weird behavior have been a game changer for me.
I worry about the privacy aspects when using AI cloud services for pen testing data. Anyone got insights?
I tried a couple of AI-driven fuzzing tools, and they found edge cases I never thought about.
I find AI tools great for automating repetitive scans, but the human touch is still crucial to analyze results.
I'm loving how machine learning models can help detect vulnerabilities faster than manual methods. Saves me a ton of time!
Are the AI tools compatible with most of the standard pen testing suites like Metasploit or Burp?
Just started using an AI tool that crafts phishing emails for red team exercises. Pretty realistic!
Anyone tried AI chatbots for simulating social engineering attacks? Curious if they're useful for training.
