Summary

This chapter explored the integration of Bash scripting with AI technologies in pentesting. We began by introducing the fundamentals of AI in pentesting and discussing the ethical considerations surrounding its use. We then focused on practical applications, demonstrating how Bash could be used to automate data analysis processes and enhance vulnerability identification through AI-driven tools. We concluded by examining how AI could assist in decision-making during pentests.

The next chapter introduces the concept of DevSecOps and its relevance to pentesting. The chapter explores how Bash scripting can be used to integrate security practices into the software development life cycle, automate security testing within continuous integration and deployment pipelines, and streamline the creation of custom pentesting environments.
