U.S. military researchers may have found a more productive vulnerability discovery process

A study from the U.S. government shows there is proof of a way to be more efficient when looking for flaws in software. Security researchers of all expertise levels do better with an improved, automated analysis that better allocates human resources during investigations, U.S. military researchers from the National Security Agency, Cyber Command, Navy, Air Force, and Army posit in new research published this month. This differs from a common approach taken when researchers are more naturally inclined to zero in on a given piece of software to try to find flaws. “There is a cognitive bias in the hacker community to select a piece of software and invest significant human resources into finding bugs in that software without any prior indication of success,” they write in the paper. This status quo, which the researchers call the “depth-first” approach, places more of a burden on experienced researchers while beginners get […]
