dcterms.abstract Cyberattacks have become more complex and pervasive; associated costs are soaring; there is an urgent need for innovative solutions. Socially engineered attacks are escalating in scale, potency, and are increasing in frequency; defenses have not evolved and tactics currently deployed are passive, and arguably offer little deterrent value. Social engineering is rooted in psychology and mediated by technology, therefore, solutions must be informed by a transdisciplinary approach, with the cyber behavioral sciences taking a central role. Identifying and targeting cyberattacker psychological vulnerabilities by means of active cyber defense are under consideration. Automation and scale of response are key requirements, underscoring the need for and the utility of large language models (LLM), in terms of identifying context, scaling to attack type, and generating dialogue to engage the cyberattacker and effectively ‘hack back.’ Hence the present conceptualization of the “HackBot” - an automated strike back innovation, specifically devised to reverse socially engineered attacks in cyber defense contexts.
