Hacking with AI: How Artificial Intelligence Is Reshaping Penetration Testing

What happens when you put AI in the hands of a professional hacker? In this episode of the NEVERHACK Cybercast, host Louis Zezeran sits down with Giorgi Sharia — Senior Penetration Tester at NEVERHACK Estonia — for one of the most honest and practical conversations about AI and offensive security you'll hear this year. Giorgi covers how AI is already being used in real pen test engagements, the growing threat of ungoverned AI models in the hands of attackers, why guardrail bypass is now a mainstream attack vector, and how NEVERHACK is building its own localised AI solution for clients who can't use public platforms. He also tells the story of Ronny — the custom LLM he built for the Nordic Baltic Security Summit CTF — and what happened when conference attendees tried to convince it to give up its secrets. Whether you're a seasoned security professional or just starting out, this one's unmissable. 🎧 Listen now. Follow for new episodes. Reach out to Louis or Giorgi on LinkedIn.
