Great example of how AI is becoming an essential tool for security researchers. Will augment them (not replace). This week it was also announced that Kali box will include Gemini CLI. This will allow pen testers to leverage intelligent assistant that will simplify and automate complex workflows. https://lnkd.in/e8NbBEGA
