Skynet wants your Passwords! The Role of AI in Automating Social Engineering
Wolfgang Ettlinger & Alexander Hurbean - 2 years ago
We techies love solving problems with cool technology, to the point where we attempt to implement the economy in code. Although important in general, we know, that for example blockchain, cryptography and SSDLC are irrelevant when the user enters their credentials on a phishing site. From an attackers point of view, though, we see that modern technologies such as artificial intelligence are immensely beneficial to attack one of the weakest links in security - humans. We will explore how modern technologies, for instance DeepFakes, DNNs and Transformers, can be misused by bad actors. We will explore some interesting ideas for attacks, discuss their practical feasibility and demonstrate implementations of some of these attacks. We will also take a look at approaches to detect and defend against AI-powered attacks.
