DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Agents & Exploits: Hacking OWASP VWAD\n   Tags: OWAS
 P Foundation | Creator Workshop\n   When: Saturday\, Aug 8\, 14:00 - 15:59
  PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level 1 Hall 4 1415 (OWASP Foundation) - [1]Map\n\n 
   Description:\n\n   Large language models have rapidly evolved from chat 
 interfaces into\n   autonomous agents capable of interacting with real-wor
 ld systems. In\n   this hands-on workshop\, participants will build an AI-
 powered security\n   agent from the ground up and learn the core principle
 s behind agentic\n   penetration testing using intentionally vulnerable OW
 ASP applications.\n\n   Rather than simply prompting an LLM\, attendees wi
 ll explore how to\n   equip an agent with practical capabilities—includi
 ng shell access\,\n   browser access\, and orchestration to discover\, exp
 loit\, and document\n   vulnerabilities in an OWASP vulnerable web applica
 tion (VWAD). Along\n   the way\, we'll discuss the architecture of effecti
 ve security agents\,\n   tool integration\, memory\, and safe execution pr
 actices.\n\n   The workshop also introduces an iterative evaluation workfl
 ow.\n   Participants will analyze vulnerabilities the agent failed to\n   
 identify\, compare results against known findings\, and use those gaps\n  
  to refine prompts\, tool selection\, workflows\, and evaluation criteria.
 \n   This iterative approach demonstrates how modern AI security agents ca
 n\n   continuously improve their effectiveness through systematic testing\
 n   and feedback rather than relying on a single execution.\n\n   By the e
 nd of the session\, attendees will have built a functional AI\n   security
  agent\, understand the fundamentals of agent tooling and\n   orchestratio
 n\, and leave with practical techniques for evaluating and\n   improving A
 I-assisted security testing on OWASP vulnerable\n   applications.\n\n   Sp

 urity\n\n   Philippe Dourassov is a Swiss ethical hacker and AI security\n
    researcher. He represented Switzerland at the European Cybersecurity\n 
   Challenge and later joined Team Europe at the International\n   Cybersec
 urity Challenge. In 2024\, he won the Gold Medal in Cyber\n   Security at 
 WorldSkills.\n\n   He later worked as an independent bug hunter and securi
 ty auditor at\n   Zellic\, assessing complex web applications. Philippe th
 en co-founded\n   Haicker\, an AI-driven automated pentesting platform\, w
 hich was\n   acquired by Aikido Security. He now serves as AI Pentest Lead
 \,\n   building the next generation of autonomous security testing.\n\n
