Anyone tried ai-driven fuzzing tools? Heard they can adapt and find bugs faster than traditional methods.
I’m skeptical about how well AI can understand context in pen testing. Anyone seen examples where AI nailed complex scenarios?
Not sure how much trust I put in AI for penetration testing yet. Sometimes these tools throw false positives that waste so much time.
I got a kick out of how some AI tools try to mimic human hackers. It’s cool but kinda creepy at the same time lol.
I tried an AI tool that integrates with your CI/CD pipeline to scan for vulnerabilities automatically. Saved me some headaches!
Is there a learning curve to start using AI pen testing tools? I’m a bit new to AI stuff overall.
Just to add, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools in this space. They keep a neat list updated pretty often.
I’ve found that combining AI with manual pentesting gives the best results. AI does the grunt work and humans handle the complex stuff.
Does anyone here use AI for social engineering tests? Wonder if there's any legit tools that do that safely.
AI tools sometimes struggle with zero-day vulnerabilities, right? They mostly work with known patterns?
Sometimes AI tools get overwhelmed with logs and flood you with alerts. Anyone found a good way to manage that?
Would love to hear if anyone has used AI tools on mobile app security testing? How did that go?
Just curious if you guys think AI will replace pen testers someday? Or just be another tool in the box?
I've been using a few AI-based scanners lately, and honestly, they speed up the whole vuln detection way more than manual checks. Still gotta double-check tho, AI sometimes misses the weird edge cases.
Are these AI tools expensive? Wondering if it’s worth investing in them compared to traditional setups.
