Claude–Climbing a CTF Scoreboard Near You
In DEF CON 33.Over the past few months, we’ve thrown Claude into the digital trenches of multiple cybersecurity competitions—from defending vulnerable networks at CCDC to cracking challenges in PicoCTF and HackTheBox. In this talk, I’ll take you through our journey deploying an AI assistant against human red teams and live CTF challenges. I’ll show you Claude’s unexpected wins (landing in the top 3% globally in PicoCTF and successfully fending off red team attacks at CCDC) alongside its entertaining fails (devolving into security philosophy when overwhelmed, making up flags for PlaidCTF when stuck).
