Cybersecurity research tools using large language models
Top 65.9% on sourcepulse
This repository curates Large Language Model (LLM) tools specifically for cybersecurity research, offering solutions for reverse engineering, network analysis, cloud security, and malware development. It targets security researchers and developers seeking to leverage AI for tasks like code annotation, vulnerability discovery, and threat analysis.
How It Works
The tools leverage LLMs, primarily from OpenAI (GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4) and Anthropic, to process and analyze cybersecurity-related data. Approaches include querying LLMs for explanations of decompiled code (G-3PO, Gepetto), analyzing network traffic (Burp Extension for GPT), identifying privilege escalation in cloud IAM policies (EscalateGPT), and generating metamorphic malware (LLMorphism, Darwin-GPT). This allows for automated analysis and insight generation that would be time-consuming manually.

Maintenance & Community
This is a curated list, with many tools developed by individuals at Tenable (Olivia Lucca Fraser, Yossi Nisani, Ivan Kwiatkowski) and other researchers. There are no direct links to community channels or roadmaps provided in the README.
Licensing & Compatibility
The repository itself is a list, not a software package, and is likely under a permissive license. However, the individual tools listed will have their own licenses, which are not specified here. Compatibility with specific LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) and cybersecurity tools (Ghidra, IDA Pro, Pwndbg, GEF, BurpSuite) is required.
Limitations & Caveats
The README lists tools that are often prototypes or research projects, implying potential instability or incomplete features. Specific LLM API keys and potentially significant computational resources may be required for many of these tools. The effectiveness and security implications of using LLMs for malware generation are also inherent risks.
