Prompt Engineering: Generative AI for Scanning & Enumeration

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. In today's dynamic and evolving digital terrain, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. As technology continues to advance, hackers are constantly adapting their methods, making it imperative for ethical hackers to stay one step ahead. This course explores the convergence of ethical hacking and generative AI, specifically focusing on the scanning and enumeration phase of the ethical hacking process. You will begin by examining the network scanning phase of the ethical hacking process and how generative AI and prompt engineering enhance this process. With a solid foundation, you will then discover ways that prompt engineering can optimize scanning, the risks and benefits of using AI-assisted scanning, and how generative AI can boost various scanning techniques. Finally, you will take a look at realistic examples involving scanning and enumeration techniques, focusing on the role that generative AI plays in these scenarios.
