Foundations of GenAI, LLMs Landscape and Workflows
This opening session introduces participants to Generative AI and Large Language Models. Students explore current GenAI tools—their capabilities, limitations, and practical applications in cybersecurity. Topics include prompt engineering basics, AI coding tools, API integration patterns, and an overview of popular LLM platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models). These tools will be used in later sessions for offensive and defensive security tasks.
