ZERO-APT: A Closed-Loop Adversarial Framework for LLM-Driven Automated Penetration Testing under Intelligent Defense
LLM-driven automated penetration testing agents are typically evaluated against static targets that neither detect nor respond to attacks, so their behavior under intelligent defense remains untested. The causal consistency of multi-step attack chains likewise hinges on unstable LLM reasoning, an...
