Keynote | Red Team | Red Teaming Vibes: Offensive Security in the Age of Vibe Coding 🎙️ Marcus J. Carey, Principal Research Scientist, Reliaquest 📍 Presented at SANS Hack & Defend Summit 2025 Welcome to the era of vibe coding—where AI isn’t just a tool, but a creative partner in cyber operations. This talk explores how red teamers can leverage AI to rapidly develop malware, ransomware, exploits, and other offensive tools with unprecedented speed and precision. Whether it's spinning up custom payloads, manipulating cloud configurations, or crafting recon scripts in seconds, AI enables a new kind of hacking rhythm. Drawing from real-world offensive tooling experiments, this session dives into how AI is transforming the red team workflow—from rigid playbooks to free-flowing, prompt-driven development. This isn't old-school copy-paste from a Kali cookbook. It's coding with feel—where the vibes and the output are both dangerous. The talk also looks at the broader implications for bug bounty programs and enterprise security. As attackers move faster and more creatively, defenders must adapt to an evolving threat landscape driven by machine intelligence. For anyone curious about the intersection of AI, creativity, and red teaming—this session brings the future into focus.
