As cybersecurity concerns continue to escalate in our increasingly digitized world, the practice of penetration testing (pentesting) has become a critical component of safeguarding sensitive data and infrastructure. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly language models like ChatGPT, there’s a burgeoning curiosity about whether these AI tools can augment pentesting efforts. Join me as we explore the potential of ChatGPT in enhancing pentesting methodologies and uncover the opportunities and challenges it presents.
