Mythos claimed the headlines with access exclusivity, but we can use any AI model to accelerate vulnerability discovery.

In this talk, you'll learn how to apply the same workflow attackers are using to find zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source projects. You'll learn the practical techniques you can use to get started with vulnerability discovery using AI and apply them against a real-world target to build zero-day exploits.

Join SANS faculty fellow Joshua Wright for Hackventures with Josh: where we remember that security research can be both critical and incredibly fun.
