Fortifying our digital economy: advanced automated vulnerability discovery

该项目旨在使安全研究人员能够以最大的效率、成本效益和已知的统计准确性检测大型软件系统中的关键漏洞。其目的是开发先进的高性能模糊器，通过在恶意软件攻击、勒索软件流行和网络恐怖主义开始之前暴露安全漏洞，有效地阻止恶意软件攻击、勒索软件流行和网络恐怖主义。该项目将采用生态学研究中使用的完善的统计框架，为提高软件漏洞发现的效率，以及在投入更多资源和获得更好的网络安全保证之间的权衡提供基本见解。随着我们对新技术的依赖日益增加，该项目使澳大利亚能够经济有效地遏制网络犯罪。

This project aims to enable security researchers to detect critical vulnerabilities in large software systems with maximal efficiency, cost-effectively, and with known statistical accuracy. The aim is to develop advanced high-performance fuzzers that effectively thwart malware attacks, ransomware epidemics, and cyber terrorism by exposing security flaws before they can commence. The project will employ a well-established statistical framework utilised in ecology research to provide fundamental insights to boosting the efficiency of software vulnerability discovery, and on the trade-off between investing more resources and gaining better cyber security guarantees. As our reliance on new technologies is ever growing, this project equips Australia to curb cyber crime cost-effectively.
