The tweet discusses a concern about security when using AI services like GPT or Claude during penetration testing. It highlights that every prompt sent to these AI models is logged, reviewed, and stored by the service provider, which means sensitive information including attack surface details could be exposed to a third party. This exposure can happen mid-engagement, potentially jeopardizing the confidentiality of the pentest findings.
The tweet contrasts this risk with Bugtrace AI's Apex product, which runs 100% locally on the user's machine, implying no data is sent externally, thereby ensuring that sensitive information remains private. The mention of 'waf bypass chain: planned, executed, never' suggests that while the user may plan or attempt to bypass Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) during pentests, such bypass might not be successfully achieved or disclosed in this context.
Overall, the message warns penetration testers to be cautious about the platforms they use for testing and data handling, advocating for local tools that do not offload data to external servers, thus maintaining security and privacy during testing.
