Chatbots
Summary

A powerful chatbot can not only capture patterns associated with social engineering attacks but also engage in conversations with the attacker to learn more information. Such a chatbot serves as a representative in the security space, testing the claims made by an attacker and analyzing their semantics to learn more about them.
