Living Off the LLM: How LLMs Will Change Adversary Tactics

Cryptography and Security 2025-10-14 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

In living off the land attacks, malicious actors use legitimate tools and processes already present on a system to avoid detection. In this paper, we explore how the on-device LLMs of the future will become a security concern as threat actors integrate LLMs into their living off the land attack pipeline and ways the security community may mitigate this threat.
