LLM powered agents for hacking

LLM powered agents for hacking

- [Instructor] Welcome back. In this video, we're discussing how LLM powered agents can be weaponized by hackers to do dangerous things. As a security professional, you need to be aware about this so that you can build systems to stop this in the future. We've already seen collaborative LLM workflows, and we already know how powerful they are, especially when the agents are combined with tools that can give them different abilities on the internet. Now, agents can be powered by the same LLM, or they can be powered by multiple different LLMs, which just make the agent workflows much more effective. The thing is, all of these technologies are open source, so we cannot control who uses them, and this makes it very easy for hackers to weaponize all of this new technology. So let's see how this can happen. Adaptive malware development. LLM-powered agents can create and modify malware on the fly, adapting on the target environment to evade detection. They can continuously learn from failed…
