FUZZBUSTER: A System for Self-Adaptive Immunity from Cyber Threats

Today’s computer systems are under relentless attack from cyber attackers armed with sophisticated vulnerability search and exploit development toolkits. To protect against such threats, we are developing FUZZBUSTER, an automated system that provides adaptive immunity against a wide variety of cyber threats. FUZZBUSTER reacts to observed attacks and proactively searches for never-before-seen vulnerabilities. FUZZBUSTER uses a suite of fuzz testing and vulnerability assessment tools to find or verify the existence of vulnerabilities.

Using Concolic Testing to Refine Vulnerability Profiles in FUZZBUSTER

Vulnerabilities in today’s computer systems are relentlessly exploited by cyber attackers armed with sophisti- cated vulnerability search and exploit development toolkits. To protect against such threats, we are developing FUZZBUSTER, an automated system that provides adaptive immunity against a wide variety of cyber threats. FUZZBUSTER uses custom and off-the-shelf fuzz-testing tools to find vulnerabilities, create vulnerability profiles identifying the inputs that drive target programs to the corresponding faults, and synthesize adap- tations that prevent future exploits.
