DeepSeek AI for Ethical Hackers – Malware Development with AI

Summary: The video discusses the capabilities of the Deep Seek AI model from China, specifically its proficiency in generating complex code, including shellcode runners and process injection tasks. The presenter tests the model’s responses through multiple scenarios, highlighting its ethics and effectiveness in coding while also expressing concerns about the potential for misuse.

Keypoints:

• Introduction to Deep Seek, an AI model from China designed for code generation.
• The presenter evaluates Deep Seek’s coding abilities through four scenarios, focusing on its efficiency and ethical implications.
• First task: Deep Seek successfully generates a shellcode runner in C, demonstrating the ability to execute shellcode without ethical warnings.
• Second task: Deep Seek attempts to create a process injector, but struggles to find the Explorer.exe process; it does provide a fallback for manual input of the PID.
• Third task: Deep Seek manages to modify the shellcode runner to retrieve shellcode from an HTTP server, showcasing its functionality.
• Fourth task: Deep Seek generates code that includes a decryption function for encrypted shellcode, successfully executing it when tested.
• The presenter expresses concern about the ease with which malicious code can be generated using Deep Seek, suggesting a lack of restrictions on its use.
• The potential for AI to write code that bypasses conventional security measures raises ethical and security concerns.
• The presenter encourages viewers to be cautious and aware of the capabilities of AI in coding and its possible implications for malicious activities.
