I doubt it. But attack forensics does seem like a good use for AI. The mix of tools and heuristics required is perfect for MoE and multiverse analysis. Browser-based vectors are a bit boring, though. Fake hot-spots and imsi catchers are more interesting.
At the hotel a couple of days ago, I borked my system trying to remove the persnickety pangpui, which was interfering with my ability to watch Netflix! So I had to re-install the OS and it would've taken forever to download all those newer packages over 5G. Luckily, there's not really any data on my laptop ... it's just a GUI for my other machines. So a keylogger would've got me, but not much else. On 10/21/25 10:41 AM, Roger Critchlow wrote:
