⚠️ Critical Legal Notice: Testing ChatGPT, the OpenAI API, or any OpenAI product without explicit written authorisation violates OpenAI's Terms of Service and potentially computer fraud laws in your jurisdiction. The ONLY authorised path to researching ChatGPT security is through OpenAI's official bug bounty programme on HackerOne. This guide covers the methodology for authorised research only. All exercises use local models or authorised practice platforms — never ChatGPT directly unless you have active HackerOne scope authorisation. The most-searched phrase in…

ChatGPT Security Vulnerabilities — What Ethical Hackers Found in 2026
⚠️ Responsible Disclosure: All vulnerabilities described here were reported through authorised channels — OpenAI's bug bounty programme on HackerOne — or are publicly disclosed findings from credited researchers. Never test production AI systems without written authorisation. OpenAI's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit unauthorised security testing of their API and products. ChatGPT has 200 million weekly active users. Every one of them is interacting with a system that, until researchers started testing it seriously, had never been through a rigorous adversarial…
Best AI Cybersecurity Certifications in 2026 — Ranked by What Employers Actually Want
⚠️ Career Information: Certification information and employer requirement data reflects market research as of early 2026. Certification programmes change their curricula, pricing, and recognition regularly. Verify current programme details directly with certification bodies before enrolling. The most common question I get from people entering AI security is "which certification should I get?" My honest answer disappoints some people: in most cases, none of them — yet. Build the portfolio first, get the cert second if you need it for a…

LLM Hacking Tutorial — How Security Researchers Break Language Models (2026)
⚠️ Authorised Testing Only: Every technique in this tutorial applies to authorised targets only — your own local models, dedicated practice platforms (Gandalf, HackAPrompt), or systems where you have written authorisation. Running these techniques against systems you don't own is illegal. This is a professional security research tutorial, not an attack guide. The first time I ran a proper LLM security assessment, I used no methodology at all. I just started sending prompts and hoping something interesting happened. Three hours…
AI Red Team vs Traditional Red Team — The Key Differences Nobody Explains
⚠️ Professional Context: All techniques and methodology discussed here apply to authorised security engagements only. Both traditional red teaming and AI red teaming require explicit written permission from asset owners before any testing begins. I've run traditional penetration tests and I've run AI red team assessments. When I describe my AI red team work to traditional security colleagues, the reaction I get most often is "oh, so basically prompt injection — same deal as web app testing, right?" It's never…

How to Become AI Red Teamer in 2026 — Full Career Roadmap
⚠️ Professional Context: Career advice here reflects real-world AI security hiring as of 2026. Compensation figures are market estimates based on publicly available data and professional experience. Individual results vary significantly by location, experience level, and employer. Six months ago I posted my AI red team portfolio on GitHub — a documented methodology, three practice assessments, and a write-up of my first real bug bounty finding on an AI system. Within three weeks, I had four inbound messages from hiring…
How to Perform LLM API Reconnaissance – Mapping the AI Attack Surface Before You Test | Day 20
🤖 AI/LLM HACKING COURSE FREE Part of the AI/LLM Hacking Course — 90 Days Day 20 of 90 · 22.2% complete ⚠️ Authorised Targets Only: LLM API reconnaissance — including directory brute-forcing and JavaScript analysis — must only be performed against applications within your authorised scope. Passive traffic analysis and JavaScript review are always within scope; active brute-forcing requires explicit confirmation that it's permitted in the engagement rules. On an application security assessment last year, the brief listed one AI…
