How a penetration tester can use AI, task by task

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to identify security system weaknesses, using penetration tests.

Context: We use Microsoft Excel and Firewall software; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
System: [network, application, data store]
Evidence: [paste logs, scan results, no secrets]

Identify breaches or weaknesses, severity, and remediation steps. Show your working step by step and give spreadsheet formulas so I can reproduce the numbers.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to identify new threat tactics, techniques, or procedures used by cyber threat actors.

Context: The work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
What we've seen: [indicators, behaviour, logs, no personal data]
Our environment: [systems, sector]

Match these indicators to known tactics or schemes, suggest what else to look for, and list containment or reporting steps. Cite public frameworks or advisories I can verify.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to test the security of systems by attempting to gain access to networks, Web-based applications, or computers.

Context: We use C and Microsoft Azure software; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
System: [application, network, data processing]
Risks: [what could fail]

Write test cases covering function, performance and security, with expected results and scripts. Propose the approach first, then the code with comments and tests, and point out security risks.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to evaluate vulnerability assessments of local computing environments, networks, infrastructures, or enclave boundaries.

Context: We use Microsoft Excel; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
Test: [vulnerability scan, design test, equipment test]
Results: [paste]

Interpret results, rank issues, and suggest next steps. Show your working step by step and give spreadsheet formulas so I can reproduce the numbers.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to discuss security solutions with information technology teams or management.

Context: We use Firewall software and Tenable Nessus.
Topic: [security, system design]
Who: [IT, architects]

Draft talking points and questions. Keep it under 150 words with a clear ask, plus a 2-sentence version for chat.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to collect stakeholder data to evaluate risk and to develop mitigation strategies.

Context: We use Microsoft Excel; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
Operation: [security, facility]
Incidents: [paste history]

Identify risks and response plans. Show your working step by step and give spreadsheet formulas so I can reproduce the numbers.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to investigate security incidents, using computer forensics, network forensics, root cause analysis, or malware analysis.

Context: We use Firewall software and Tenable Nessus; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
Incident: [what happened, systems or records involved]
Data available: [logs, transactions, images, records]

Propose a step-by-step forensic review: what to preserve first, what to look for in each data source, tools commonly used, and red flags. Remind me of chain-of-custody steps.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to assess the physical security of servers, systems, or network devices to identify vulnerability to temperature, vandalism, or natural disasters.

Context: We use Firewall software and Tenable Nessus; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
System: [servers, medical device, equipment]
Criteria: [safety, efficiency, security]

Make an evaluation plan and scoring table. Give sources I can check and say clearly when you're unsure.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to develop presentations on threat intelligence.

Context: The work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
Topic: [status, results, fixes]
Audience: [customers, staff]
Notes: [paste]

Draft slides outline and speaker notes. Use plain language, one everyday analogy, and the questions people are most likely to ask with short answers.

I work as a penetration tester. Part of my job is to configure information systems to incorporate principles of least functionality and least access.

Context: We use C and Microsoft Azure software; the work draws on telecommunications, computers and electronics and engineering and technology.
System: [backup, security, information system]
Requirements: [users, data, controls]

Propose architecture, components and a rollout plan. Propose the approach first, then the code with comments and tests, and point out security risks.
