DESCRIPTION:LLMs can surface new attack vectors quickly. They also hallucin
 ate issues that are not actually exploitable\, wasting valuable time. As a
  result\, having a way to deterministically evaluate their findings is vit
 al.\n\nIn this talk\, I present an agentic\, skill-based workflow that com
 bines fast AI-driven discovery with deterministic integration tests. Every
  potential attack is validated before publication\, protecting against hal
 lucinations. \n\nUsing this approach\, I identified over a dozen new AWS I
 AM privilege escalation paths. I'll walk through the open source lab-based
  infrastructure and testing system that made this validation possible\, an
 d show how the approach scales to broader security research. I will also i
 ntroduce a brand new Metasploit-style exploitation framework for IAM privi
 lege escalation built on the same methodology.\n\nAttendees will learn how
  to apply deterministic validation to their own AI-assisted research\, and
  leave with new IAM privilege escalation paths to look for in their own en
 vironments.
