The good, the bad and the ugly of ChatGPT in the Cyber Security world
ChatGPT has both positive and negative impacts on Cyber Security. On one hand, defenders can use ChatGPT to generate code to simulate adversaries or even automate tasks to make work easier. It can also be used for vulnerability assessment by automatically analyzing software code to find and report vulnerabilities. On the other hand, ChatGPT’s ability to write malicious code can be exploited by attackers. The cybersecurity implications of ChatGPT can be vast, especially for email exploits. In particular, Polymorphic malware is a type of malware that constantly changes its identifiable features in order to evade detection. It can take many forms such as viruses, worms, bots, trojans or keyloggers and spreads through phishing emails, malicious websites and dangerous links.
