Today I explored the newly introduced “GPT-4 (All Tools)” feature in ChatGPT. This Alpha version, available at $20/month. Previously , I wrote a post when ChatGPT came out. Plugins are in beta too , I will give it try later and writes my observation. The plugin functionality, currently in beta, is next on my list to test and review.
Curious about its capabilities, I prompted ChatGPT to search for the top 10 ICS/OT cybersecurity results for 2023. The results were impressively similar to what you’d expect from an internet-connected service – confirmation that ChatGPT has expanded its horizon to the web.
Here’s what I’ve deduced about ChatGPT’s current functionalities:
- Direct website, YouTube, or link access isn’t possible. For instance, it couldn’t interact with my website, zerontek.com, but it provided some insights about my GitHub repository (https://github.com/selmux).
- It employs a browsing tool to access content from an array of sources, including news outlets, official blogs, repositories like GitHub and ResearchGate, and other professional or academic resources.
- It doesn’t list videos or images in search results – I learned this while attempting to probe about ICS/OT security.
- The process is transparent; you can observe the tool actively searching and accessing links, indicated by the changing button colors.
- ChatGPT is informative: if your query is within its existing database, it provides an instant response; otherwise, it conducts an online search. For example, when inquiring about “Sulaiman Alhasawi,” it initiated a search sequence. Moreover, ChatGPT suggests providing context with each search, streamlining the process.
To leverage ChatGPT for accessing ICS/OT security insights for a specific year, here’s a walkthrough based on ChatGPT’s own advice:
Well, AI has now reached the internet, though it’s not live in the real-time sense just yet (as AI itself has informed me). This brief overview highlights the latest developments in ChatGPT and how we, the ICS/OT cybersecurity community, can leverage them. Let’s look forward to the expansion of these capabilities, where we can employ AI for critical tasks. For me, this means harnessing AI for OSINT within ICS/OT security.
