There have been millions of trivially exploitable vulnerabilities out there for decades — many of which could be easily discovered by using simple scanning tools or manual probing. This is hardly a new situation and LLMs really aren't that impressive at pentesting — even with these simple exploits. Maybe they are if you're not a pentester, but then ZAP, Burp, Nessus, SQLMap, etc. are likely also impressive if you put a little effort into learning how to use them, but many AI-advocates aren't interested in learning skills themselves.
It's the same situation as with vibe coding. Everyone and their grandma can have an LLM spit out a web application without any programming experience, but if you're a programmer, you'll likely quickly see some issues with maintainability and further development of the code base.
- zomiaen 4mo ago>LLMs really aren't that impressive at pentesting The point is that Mythos apparently is quite capable and has developed novel exploits on its own.
- lillesvin 4mo agoThat's the claim, yes. Has any proof been made available yet? (Genuinely asking here because I haven't been paying that close attention.)
