Chatbots in a Botnet World

Question-and-answer formats provide a novel experimental platform for investigating cybersecurity questions.

• Unlike previous chatbots, the latest ChatGPT model from OpenAI supports an advanced understanding of complex coding questions.
• The research demonstrates thirteen coding tasks that generally qualify as stages in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, ranging from credential access to defense evasion.
• With varying success, the experimental prompts generate examples of keyloggers, logic bombs, obfuscated worms, and payment-fulfilled ransomware.
