KI-Hacker kommen gefährlich nahe daran, Menschen zu besiegen | Ein aktuelles Stanford-Experiment zeigt, was passiert, wenn ein Hacking-Bot mit künstlicher Intelligenz auf ein Netzwerk losgelassen wird

„A Stanford team spent a good chunk of the past year tinkering with an AI bot called Artemis.

Artemis scans the network, finds potential bugs—software vulnerabilities—and then finds ways to exploit them.

Then the Stanford researchers let Artemis out of the lab, using it to find bugs in a real-world computer network—the one used by Stanford’s own engineering department. And to make things interesting, they pitted Artemis against real-world professional hackers, known as penetration testers.

“This was the year that models got good enough,” said Rob Ragan, a researcher with the cybersecurity firm Bishop Fox. His company used large language models, or LLMs, to build a set of tools that can find bugs at a much faster and cheaper rate than humans during penetration tests, letting them test far more software than ever before, he said.

The AI bot trounced all except one of the 10 professional network penetration testers the Stanford researchers had hired to poke and prod, but not actually break into, their engineering network.

Artemis found bugs at lightning speed and it was cheap: It cost just under $60 an hour to run. Ragan says that human pen testers typically charge between $2,000 and $2,500 a day.“

I’m certain the bots scanning (really anyone scanning) becomes fairly obvious with the right preventative measures in place. Once you detect a bot, block them.
