How will we defend against attackers automating with AI? Look at the tool list below. The models mostly follow pentesting 101 and arrive at the same common tools attackers have used for years. You can harden against these techniques, and modern EDRs already do a great job of detecting and blocking a lot of this behavior. LLMs don’t magically make the underlying techniques new.

I will give 👏 to @deadvolvo - dude is an exceptional security researcher. His AI pipeline skills have blown me away and the impacts he is having on @akamai_research are immense. The bar for WAF bypasses will be raised soon and the half-life of a bypass will shrink too 🔥
Quiet competence is one of the most important traits a top-tier security researcher or hacker can possess. Do exceptional work. Break major systems legally. Protect millions of people. Document it well. Then move on without needing applause from strangers on the internet. 😜

Here are the Shazzer fuzz vectors I used whilst testing this: shazzer.co.uk/vectors/6a68f8… shazzer.co.uk/vectors/6a7054… Interestingly null is converted to the unicode replacement character.
I put a JavaScript URL inside an HTML tag name, and every browser executed it. Apparently, tag names are code now. Link & explanation below 👇
