Automatic Self-Adaptation to Mitigate Software Vulnerabilities: A Fuzzbuster Progress Report (Extended Abstract for Poster)

Today's computer systems are under relentless attack from cyber attackers armed with sophisticated vulnerability search and exploit development toolkits. Under DARPA's Clean-slate design of Resilient, Adaptive, Survivable Hosts (CRASH) program, we are developing FUZZBUSTER to provide self-adaptive immunity from these and other cyber threats. This poster describes the most up-to-date results from the millions of fuzz-testing operations FUZZBUSTER has conducted, as well as its results in self-adapting to mitigate the vulnerabilities it finds.
