Artificial intelligence is reshaping the penetration testing landscape, yet most practitioners struggle to move beyond basic chatbot queries into meaningful operational integration. This focused session demonstrates practical, immediately applicable techniques for embedding AI throughout your testing methodology. From enhancing reconnaissance workflows with intelligent data correlation to accelerating exploit development through automated code generation. We'll explore real-world examples of how AI can amplify your existing toolkit, including crafting context-aware phishing campaigns, automating tedious enumeration tasks, and generating custom malware. Rather than treating AI as a mysterious black box or passive research assistant, you'll learn to leverage it as a force multiplier that augments your expertise while maintaining the critical human judgment essential to effective security testing. By session's end, participants will possess concrete strategies and practical workflows for integrating AI into their next engagement, transforming theoretical potential into tactical advantage.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, malware analysts, etc…

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Integrate AI into Reconnaissance: Learn to leverage AI for automated OSINT collection, target profiling, and attack surface discovery
