From my notebook

Another week another AI/LLM themed issue but as we move past the initial hype stage we’re starting to see the cracks of LLMs particularly with the news that OpenAI started a bug bounty program, leading to some familiar faces already hitting the top 10 hackers on the program!

  1. On self-healing code and the obvious issue – Gynvael shares some thoughts on asking code to fix their own bugs

  2. Attacking LLM – Prompt Injection – LiveOverflow talks “prompt injection”

  3. ReconAIzer: A powerful extension for Burp Suite that leverages OpenAI to help bug bounty hunters optimize their recon process.  – A new Burp addon hopes to leverage GPT for recon tasks

  4. Using AI to Develop Realistic Sock Puppet Accounts – Another use of AI in security

  5. Google Tells AI Agents to Behave Like ‘Believable Humans’ to Create ‘Artificial Society’ – Finally do androids dream of electric sheep?
