Davey Winder is a technology journalist who covers cybersecurity news and research. He’s covered everything from the true story behind the hacking of Donald Trump’s nude photos to a record-breaking ransomware payment of $75 million.
For the past eight years, the Bugcrowd hacking platform has surveyed its users to produce a report called “Inside the Mind of a Hacker” which reveals the year-on-year evolution of the ethical hacker. From hacker community neurodiversity to the rise of the hacker as influencer, many surprising aspects of the hacking life have emerged. This year, with some 1,300 hackers taking part, the biggest surprise is likely just how many are embracing AI as a tool, tactic and threat.
If there is good news to be drawn out of this report, then surely the fact that only 286 of the hackers surveyed believe AI outperforms them is better than a human hacker, is it? Slightly more, worryingly, thought that AI can replicate human hacking creativity. These numbers are pretty-much the same as those from the 2023 survey, so it kind of shows that AI isn’t evolving as fast as many have thought, at least when it comes to the actual day-to-day nitty-gritty of being a hacker for hire.
Take hardware hacking, something that the Internet of Things has pushed to the forefront of most every hacker across the last decade or more. While you might imagine nothing could be further from the mind of the hardware hacker than large language model AI tools, you’d be very wrong indeed.
