Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently a hot topic. The explosion of AI technologies that create Synthetic Media (SM), such as Deep Fakes (DF), is worrisome, especially since they can easily spread false information over social networks. Our work explores a positive use case for SM (fake text, website and app design, audio, and videos) to aid in reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, and exploitation during penetration testing. We contest that using SM during various penetration testing phases is useful for uncovering security weaknesses in an organization. Our work results in constructing a primary mind map of the various penetration testing phases and the potential uses of SM in each of them.
