> If you spend more time proving your optimization of a cryptographic algorithm is not vulnerable to timing attacks than you do writing the code, I don't think any of my observations here are going to be useful to you.
I am not a software dev I am a security researcher. LLM's are great for my security research! It is so much easier and faster to iterate on code like fuzzers to do security testing. Writing code to do a padding oracle attack would have taken me a week+ in the past. Now I can work with an LLM to write code and learn and break within the day.
It has accelerated my security research 10 fold, just because I am able to write code and parse and interpret logs at a level above what I was able to a few years ago.
