There are bugs and vulnerabilities in everything. The internet is literally Swiss cheese.
The reason it’s easy for LLMs to find them isn’t because they are super human deep intelligence cyber security savants. It’s because they can take all the well known vulnerabilities and red/blue testing strategies on 1000x as much code at 1000x the rate as a typical human… and thus they find the holes in the Swiss cheese.
It’s purely about economics. It wasn’t worth paying for 1000s of hours of man hours to find and close every bug in every piece of software. But since exploiting them has just done 1000x and finding them has had the same speed up, we’re gonna see a wave of serious exploits, massive hacks, an probably an era of profound and constant patching at a rate we’ve never seen.
Buckle up. Gonna be fun. 😆
