Abstract: In recent years, the intersection of biology and technology has led to significant advancements in the field of biohacking, where biological systems are manipulated and engineered to perform computational tasks. This paper explores the emerging concept of building biological computers and discusses their potential implications for cybersecurity. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and research findings, this paper examines the feasibility, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with leveraging biology for cyber threats.

Biological Computing: Biological computing relies on the inherent properties of biological molecules to store and process information. DNA, for example, can be programmed to store vast amounts of data through its sequence of nucleotide bases. Researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of using DNA as a storage medium for digital information, opening up new possibilities for data storage and retrieval. Additionally, proteins and enzymes can be engineered to perform logic operations, mimicking the functions of traditional electronic circuits.
