This Is What Real AI Hacking Looks Like
Subscribe to the Cyber Mindset Digest to help you think differently about cybersecurity: https://www.KyserClark.com/Newsletter
I took on the Halloween Gandalf challenge and spent hours trying to force an AI to reveal a secret password it was trained to protect. This wasn’t guessing or luck; this was real prompt injection, response manipulation, and persistence. In this video, I show the exact process I used to break the puzzle, where ChatGPT failed, what actually worked, and the moment everything clicked. If you want to understand what real AI hacking looks like in practice, this walkthrough will make the concepts clear, practical, and repeatable.
