HITCON Training 2026: AI-Assisted Penetration Testing course (Taipei)
📅 Wednesday, 12 August 2026 → Saturday, 15 August 2026 in 53 days
A multi-day hands-on training course from Taiwan's HITCON / Hacks in Taiwan Association on using AI to accelerate penetration testing across web, Linux and Windows targets, part of the HITCON Training 2026 programme at the Uniforce training centre in Taipei.
HITCON Training 2026, run by the Hacks in Taiwan Association (HIT) and CHROOT, takes place 12 to 15 August 2026 at the Uniforce education and training centre in Taipei's Songshan district. The programme spans 13 courses across six categories; this listing covers the AI-assisted penetration-testing course, which teaches practitioners to use AI to accelerate offensive-security work across web, Linux and Windows targets.
The course is hands-on and practitioner-oriented, covering AI-supported attack-surface analysis, vulnerability analysis, exploitation workflows and report drafting, with an emphasis on responsible verification of AI-generated findings rather than blind trust in model output. Daily sessions run 09:30 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 17:00, with lunch provided. Registration is handled through KKTIX and is open until 26 July 2026; student, alumni and group discounts are available with eligibility verification.
This is a paid professional training course rather than a conference, so attendees should expect a classroom lab format and limited seats. For security engineers and red-teamers in Taiwan looking to fold AI tooling into their penetration-testing practice, it is a focused, locally delivered option from an established regional hacker community.
