DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Building Hackbots\n   Tags: Recon Village | Creator 
 Talk/Panel\n   When: Sunday\, Aug 9\, 12:30 - 12:59 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW L
 evel 1 Hall 3 1103 (Creator Stage 5) - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   Bui
 lding AI-Powered Penetration Testing Bots In this talk\, we'll walk\n   th
 rough the core design philosophy behind AI hackbots and the\n   architectu
 re that makes them work: single-purpose vs. multi-stage\n   bots\, context
  engineering for targeted prompting\, and tool integration\n   with output
  parsing workflows. Then we'll get hands-on. We'll\n   live-build a functi
 onal hackbot for a common offensive task —\n   demonstrating asset disco
 very\, endpoint analysis\, or mutation-focused\n   testing (e.g.\, XSS/SSR
 F) — and show how context engineering and\n   hallucination mitigation w
 ork in practice against real targets. You'll\n   see where AI genuinely ac
 celerates reconnaissance and web analysis\,\n   and where it falls flat if
  you aren't careful. We'll close with\n   lessons on cost optimization\, a
 uditability\, and integrating hackbots\n   into actual engagements. Who sh
 ould attend: Pentesters and bug bounty\n   hunters with offensive security
  experience who want to meaningfully\n   integrate AI into their workflow 
 — not as a novelty\, but as reliable\n   tooling. What you'll walk away 
 with: A clear mental model for when and\n   how to build hackbots\, a live
  demo you can replicate\, and a path into\n   the full course where you'll
  build seven production-ready bots from\n   asset discovery through mutati
 on testing.\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Jason "jhaddix" Haddix\, CEO and "Hacker in
