How I Ethically Hacked My School Website Using AI

 


As a tech-savvy student passionate about cybersecurity, I decided to test my school's website security — ethically. With full permission from the IT department, I combined my knowledge of ethical hacking with AI tools like ChatGPT to identify and report vulnerabilities.


Step 1: Getting Permission  

Before touching a line of code, I reached out to my school's tech team. After explaining my intentions and getting the green light, I was ready to begin.


Step 2: AI as My Assistant  

I used ChatGPT to brainstorm common website vulnerabilities, write Python scripts for scanning input fields, and simulate brute-force login attempts (all on test accounts). Tools like SQLMap and Burp Suite came in handy — but with ChatGPT, I could understand and modify code faster.


Step 3: What I Found  

With AI assistance, I discovered a few outdated libraries and unprotected input fields vulnerable to XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). I compiled a detailed report and sent it to the tech team.


Step 4: Fix & Feedback  

The team patched the issues, and I got praise for being proactive. More importantly, I learned how powerful — and responsible — AI-powered ethical hacking can be.
