Evolving Exploits Through Genetic Algorithms

Soen

Soen explores evolving exploits through genetic algorithms at DEF CON 21, examining automotive-security and practical defenses.

Summary

Architecture and Background

Evolving Exploits Through Genetic Algorithms SOEN HACKER FOR TEAM VANNED This talk will discuss the next logical step from dumb fuzzing to breeding exploits via machine learning & evolution.

Vulnerability Analysis

Using genetic algorithms, this talk will take simple SQL exploits and breed them into precision tactical weapons.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

Stop looking at SQL error messages and carefully crafting injections, let genetic algorithms take over and create lethal exploits to PWN sites for you!

Remediation and Defensive Strategies
