HTB Meetup #6 – Agentic AI as a Weapon

AI isn't just changing how we defend — it's changing how attackers strike.
Forget the sci-fi version. Agentic AI is already being used today to automate reconnaissance, chain exploits, craft convincing phishing campaigns, and navigate target systems with minimal human input. In this session, we break down exactly how that works — from the ground up, no prior AI experience needed.
