🔍 Webinar Highlight: Smarter, Automated Pentesting

Ostorlab Academy · Intermediate ·🔐 Cybersecurity ·1y ago

About this lesson

This video showcases an automated pentest tool leveraging AI agents to analyze websites for authentication vulnerabilities, particularly focusing on OAUTH implementations. The tool autonomously gathers business and technical context, creates specialized attack plans, researches execution steps, and iteratively tests for vulnerabilities, demonstrating advanced, self-improving detection capabilities. This highlights a new approach to vulnerability analysis beyond simple LLM capabilities. 0:00 Introduction to Automated Pentest Tool 0:32 Building an advanced architecture 1:03 Collecting information about the target 1:40 Collecting technical context about the application 2:06 Identifying threats 2:27 Action plan by the tool 2:50 Actions not in the LLM context 3:08 Research completed 3:39 Real testing begins 3:58 Iterating over actions 4:21 Keep all the contexts within a vector database #PenTesting #CyberSecurity #Automation
