AI HACKER! Automatic vulnerability assessment & pen-testing of embedded & other systems
Ulrich Lang, PhD

We present the results of our government-funded R&D to develop an intelligent automated “vulnerability assessor and penetration tester (VAPT), usable as a virtual appliance for use on enterprise networks or cyber ranges, and as a portable device for use on embedded systems. It consists of two parts, an AI-supported vulnerability assessor and an AI-supported penetration tester. In one use case it intelligently automates software vulnerability assessment for embedded systems; in another use case, it intelligently automates the tasks of an ethical hacker (penetration tester) via the network, finding systems on the network, discovering vulnerabilities, and exposing them.
