AI Ransomware with Claude: A Vibe-Hacking Case Study

### Session Overview

A focused, 60-minute walkthrough of how attackers use Claude-style AI reasoning and vibe-hacking techniques to plan, execute, and scale ransomware operations. We break down a realistic attack chain end-to-end: recon, exploitation, lateral movement, encryption, and negotiation. You’ll see how AI quietly accelerates every stage, and what defenders must rethink to stay ahead.

### Who Should Attend

• Security professionals who want to understand AI-augmented attacks, not read another PDF
• SOC analysts trying to update their playbooks for AI-driven threats
• CISOs and IT leaders who need clarity on what’s hype vs what’s already happening
• Red teamers who want deeper insight into using or countering AI reasoning in offense
• Students and early-career folks trying to break into cybersecurity with real-world context

### Key Outcomes

Attendees will walk away with:
• A full, practical understanding of how Claude-style models boost ransomware speed and precision
• A mapped attack chain showing AI’s role at every step
• Examples of vibe-hacked prompts attackers use for recon, phishing, exploitation planning, and ransom negotiation
• Defensive strategies that actually work against AI-assisted adversaries
• A clear sense of what the next 12 months of AI ransomware evolution will look like
