GPT-Assisted Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning plays a crucial role in identifying and remediating weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. The tools we use to conduct these scans, such as NMAP, OpenVAS, or Nessus, offer robust functionality but can often be complex and challenging to navigate, especially for those new to the field or unfamiliar with their advanced options.

This is where our recipe comes into play. It leverages the power of ChatGPT to streamline the process of generating command strings for these tools based on user input. With this recipe, you will be able to create precise command strings that can be directly copied and pasted into a CLI to initiate a vulnerability scan, provided the respective tool is installed.

This recipe is not just about saving time; it’s about enhancing accuracy, understanding, and effectiveness. It is beneficial for those learning vulnerability assessments, those who are new to these tools, and...
