Description:

I've been working on the Advent of Cyber challenge this December. It's more of a walkthrough of some puzzles than it is solving them yourself, but it has given me a brush up on some skills and helped me learn some basics of how people in charge of (or looking to break) security look at the world. Plus it's been a little fun with a silly storyline each day.

The first challenge starts with a chatbot and trying to social engineer answers out of it. This was interesting to me, even though it was likely (hopefully) not a representative example of how AIs would work in most systems. However, it got me to think more about how I pose questions to an AI and how I can grow my prompts. The neat thing about AI is that you don't have to ask the perfect question and then re-ask the same question with more info to get an answer. The AI keeps context in a conversation, which is way more powerful than previous Q&A search systems.
