Sapienz Technologies at Facebook, each of which started life as a research-led start-up that was subsequently deployed at scale, Many industrialists have perhaps tended to regard it unlikely impacting billions of people worldwide. that much academic work will prove relevant to their most The paper identifies open problems that have yet to receive pressing industrial concerns. On the other hand, it is not significant attention from the scientific community, yet which uncommon for academic and scientific researchers to believe have potential for profound real world impact, formulating these that most of the problems faced by industrialists are either as research questions that, we believe, are ripe for exploration and that would make excellent topics for research projects. boring, tedious or scientifically uninteresting. This sociological phenomenon has led to a great deal of miscommunication between the academic and industrial sectors. I.

  • The Art, Science, and Engineering of Fuzzing: a Survey
    1 The Art, Science, and Engineering of Fuzzing: A Survey Valentin J.M. Manes,` HyungSeok Han, Choongwoo Han, Sang Kil Cha, Manuel Egele, Edward J. Schwartz, and Maverick Woo Abstract—Among the many software vulnerability discovery techniques available today, fuzzing has remained highly popular due to its conceptual simplicity, its low barrier to deployment, and its vast amount of empirical evidence in discovering real-world software vulnerabilities. At a high level, fuzzing refers to a process of repeatedly running a program with generated inputs that may be syntactically or semantically malformed. While researchers and practitioners alike have invested a large and diverse effort towards improving fuzzing in recent years, this surge of work has also made it difficult to gain a comprehensive and coherent view of fuzzing. To help preserve and bring coherence to the vast literature of fuzzing, this paper presents a unified, general-purpose model of fuzzing together with a taxonomy of the current fuzzing literature. We methodically explore the design decisions at every stage of our model fuzzer by surveying the related literature and innovations in the art, science, and engineering that make modern-day fuzzers effective. Index Terms—software security, automated software testing, fuzzing. ✦ 1 INTRODUCTION Figure 1 on p. 5) and an increasing number of fuzzing Ever since its introduction in the early 1990s [152], fuzzing studies appear at major security conferences (e.g. [225], has remained one of the most widely-deployed techniques [52], [37], [176], [83], [239]). In addition, the blogosphere is to discover software security vulnerabilities. At a high level, filled with many success stories of fuzzing, some of which fuzzing refers to a process of repeatedly running a program also contain what we consider to be gems that warrant a with generated inputs that may be syntactically or seman- permanent place in the literature.

  • An Efficient Data-Dependence Profiler for Sequential and Parallel Programs
    An Efficient Data-Dependence Profiler for Sequential and Parallel Programs Zhen Li, Ali Jannesari, and Felix Wolf German Research School for Simulation Sciences, 52062 Aachen, Germany Technische Universitat¨ Darmstadt, 64289 Darmstadt, Germany fz.li, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Extracting data dependences from programs data dependences without executing the program. Although serves as the foundation of many program analysis and they are fast and even allow fully automatic parallelization transformation methods, including automatic parallelization, in some cases [13], [14], they lack the ability to track runtime scheduling, and performance tuning. To obtain data dependences, more and more related tools are adopting profil- dynamically allocated memory, pointers, and dynamically ing approaches because they can track dynamically allocated calculated array indices. This usually makes their assessment memory, pointers, and array indices. However, dependence pessimistic, limiting their practical applicability. In contrast, profiling suffers from high runtime and space overhead. To dynamic dependence profiling captures only those depen- lower the overhead, earlier dependence profiling techniques dences that actually occur at runtime. Although dependence exploit features of the specific program analyses they are designed for. As a result, every program analysis tool in need profiling is inherently input sensitive, the results are still of data-dependence information requires its own customized useful in many situations, which is why such profiling profiler. In this paper, we present an efficient and at the forms the basis of many program analysis tools [2], [5], same time generic data-dependence profiler that can be used [6]. Moreover, input sensitivity can be addressed by running as a uniform basis for different dependence-based program the target program with changing inputs and computing the analyses.

  • Static Program Analysis As a Fuzzing Aid
    Static Program Analysis as a Fuzzing Aid Bhargava Shastry1( ), Markus Leutner1, Tobias Fiebig1, Kashyap Thimmaraju1, Fabian Yamaguchi2, Konrad Rieck2, Stefan Schmid3, Jean-Pierre Seifert1, and Anja Feldmann1 1 TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany [email protected] 2 TU Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany 3 Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark Abstract. Fuzz testing is an effective and scalable technique to per- form software security assessments. Yet, contemporary fuzzers fall short of thoroughly testing applications with a high degree of control-flow di- versity, such as firewalls and network packet analyzers. In this paper, we demonstrate how static program analysis can guide fuzzing by aug- menting existing program models maintained by the fuzzer. Based on the insight that code patterns reflect the data format of inputs pro- cessed by a program, we automatically construct an input dictionary by statically analyzing program control and data flow. Our analysis is performed before fuzzing commences, and the input dictionary is sup- plied to an off-the-shelf fuzzer to influence input generation. Evaluations show that our technique not only increases test coverage by 10{15% over baseline fuzzers such as afl but also reduces the time required to expose vulnerabilities by up to an order of magnitude. As a case study, we have evaluated our approach on two classes of network applications: nDPI, a deep packet inspection library, and tcpdump, a network packet analyzer. Using our approach, we have uncovered 15 zero-day vulnerabilities in the evaluated software that were not found by stand-alone fuzzers. Our work not only provides a practical method to conduct security evalua- tions more effectively but also demonstrates that the synergy between program analysis and testing can be exploited for a better outcome.

  • 5 Key Considerations Towards the Adoption of a Mainframe Inclusive Devops Strategy
    5 Key Considerations Towards the Adoption of a Mainframe Inclusive DevOps Strategy Key considaetrations towards the adoption of a mainframe inclusive devops strategy PLANNING FOR DEVOPS IN MAINFRAME ENVIRONMENTS – KEY CONSIDERATIONS – A mountain of information is available around the implementation and practice of DevOps, collectively encompassing people, processes and technology. This ranges significantly from the implementation of tool chains to discussions around DevOps principles, devoid of technology. While technology itself does not guarantee a successful DevOps implementation, the right tools and solutions can help companies better enable a DevOps culture. Unfortunately, the majority of conversations regarding DevOps center around distributed environments, neglecting the platform that still runs more than 70% of the business and transaction systems in the world; the mainframe. It is estimated that 5 billion lines of new COBOL code are added to live systems every year. Furthermore, 55% of enterprise apps and an estimated 80% of mobile transactions touch the mainframe at some point. Like their distributed brethren, mainframe applications benefit from DevOps practices, boosting speed and lowering risk. Instead of continuing to silo mainframe and distributed development, it behooves practitioners to increase communication and coordination between these environments to help address the pressure of delivering release cycles at an accelerated pace, while improving product and service quality. And some vendors are doing just that. Today, vendors are increasing their focus as it relates to the modernization of the mainframe, to not only better navigate the unavoidable generation shift in mainframe staffing, but to also better bridge mainframe and distributed DevOps cultures. DevOps is a significant topic incorporating community and culture, application and infrastructure development, operations and orchestration, and many more supporting concepts.
