Hackers use AI to uncover vulnerabilities
"Researchers at Secure Computing said that cyber-criminals are exploiting the ability of AI tools to use a methodology referred to as 'fuzzing' to test applications for bugs."
Ok, I'm no Artificial Intelligence (AI) pro, but I believe I understand the fundamentals. I am however very familiar with software "fuzzing". Heck any competent black-box hacker is. You toss in some junk and if the output looks something like a vulnerability, then you have something to have a closer look at. Indeed there has been some cool research using fuzzing in the web browser space recently.
What I failed to understand is how fuzzing is anything like AI. Probably just the marketing teams spinning up new PR worthy headlines. Its not like it doesn't happen everyday anyway.
