RunSybil, a startup founded by OpenAI’s first security researcher, deploys agents that probe websites for vulnerabilities—part of a new AI era for cybersecurity.
The AI agents, developed by startup RunSybil, worked together to probe my poor site to identify weak spots. An orchestrator agent, called Sybil, oversees several more specialized agents all powered by a combination of custom language models and off-the-shelf APIs. Whereas conventional vulnerability scanners probe for specific known problems, Sybil is able to operate at a higher level, using artificial intuition to figure out weaknesses.
Sybil built a map of the application and how it is accessed, probed for weak spots by manipulating parameters and testing edge cases, and then chained together findings, testing hypotheses, and escalating until it breaks something meaningful. In this case, it did identify ways to hack the site. Unlike a human, Herbert-Voss says Sybil runs thousands of these processes in parallel, doesn’t miss details, and doesn’t stop.
