Episode notes
Weaponized AI
- Weaponized AI is a major cybersecurity concern, focusing on technical exploitation rather than social engineering.
- This "Massively Multimodal Offensive AI (MOAI)" learns from captured CTF attempts, CVE databases, and exploits.
MOAI: Data and Service
- MOAI aggregates data like CTF logs, CVE databases, exploit repositories, and research papers to learn hacking techniques.
- It can become an "offensive AI as a service," similar to ransomware as a service.
CrowdSec: Open Source and Multiplayer
- CrowdSec, an open-source IDS, IPS, and WAF, shares attack data like Waze shares traffic data.
- This "multiplayer firewall" approach creates a real-time map of malicious IP addresses.
