Abstract

What is the AGI in Offensive Security? One can break it down into two questions : (1) any offensive security tasks could be reduced into symbolic language manipulation (language representation + reasoning), (2) powerful language model (LLM) are enough to "deal with" any symbolic language manipulation. This paper can formally model a target system as a state machine and a hacker as an interactive symbolic agent. And it shows that every interaction in an offensive engagement can be encoded as a finite string. This paper provides definitions, short lemmas, and open discussion.
