Hey folks! Been diving into some AI-powered pentesting tools lately and gotta say, the tech is getting pretty wild. Anyone else tried using AI to help find vulnerabilities or automate parts of the testing process? Would love to hear what yall think or any fav tools you've stumbled upon.

I like how these AI tools can crunch massive amounts of logs to find unusual patterns that hint at intrusions.
Are there any open source AI pentesting tools out there? I prefer open stuff to experiment and customize.
For those interested in new or trending AI pentesting tools, you can also check ai-u.com. They keep an updated list which is pretty handy.
Has anyone tried using AI to do social engineering simulations? Curious if the tech has come that far.
What’s your take on AI helping with phishing detection as part of pentesting?
I’m curious if any AI pentesting tools support cloud environments well? Like AWS or Azure?
I tried one AI tool that claimed it could do automated vulnerability scanning, but it gave too many false positives. Anyone else struggle with that?
AI pentesting tools really speed up the reconnaissance phase for me. It’s like having an extra set of eyes scanning for issues 24/7.
It’s wild how some AI tools can do vulnerability prioritization based on exploitability scores automatically.
The coolest thing about AI in pentesting is how it can predict attack paths by analyzing complex networks. Makes planning tests smarter.
Does anyone know of AI tools that integrate well with existing pentesting frameworks like Metasploit or Burp Suite?
Anyone here used AI for network segmentation testing? Wondering if it can help there.
Some AI tools offer continuous monitoring and vulnerability assessment which is great for ongoing security posture.
I’m still skeptical about relying too much on AI though. Pentesting is such a nuanced field that needs human intuition.
To folks who’ve automated parts of pentesting with AI, how do you handle false negatives? That scares me the most.
