Yet Another AI Talk — The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: AI for Pentesters - Brian Lowe

BSides San Antonio 2026 June 13 at St. Mary's University AI is a force multiplier for pentesters — and a liability if you don't know where it breaks. This talk cuts through the hype with real engagement stories: what works (triage, wordlists, report drafts), what fails (hallucinated CVEs, dangerous tool flags, false confidence in code review), and what gets dangerous (data leakage, scope violations, DoS by accident, agentic AI with no guardrails). Practical techniques, honest failures, no vendor spin.
