AI can turn weeks of coding into seconds, but at what cost? Katie Paxton-Fear demonstrates how to use Gemini to generate a sprint plan and Cursor to build a Python port scanner from natural language. It works… and that’s the problem. We unpack how “vibe coding” blinds even pros to security, why these tools aren’t production-ready, and the guardrails you need for ethical hacking and internal tooling.

What you’ll learn

• How to turn ideas → sprint plan → working code (Gemini + Cursor)

• Why silent vulnerabilities make AI-built apps risky

• Ethical hacker use cases (agents, scanners) without shipping insecure code

• Policy tips: disclosure, internal use, avoiding shadow IT

Tools mentioned: Gemini, Cursor (AI IDE), Claude (briefly), v0
