Hacking for Defenders: approaches to DARPA’s AI Cyber Challenge (Google Online Security Blog)
Oliver Chang, Jonathan Metzman, OSS-Fuzz and Alex Rebert, Security Engineering The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, recently kicked off a two-year AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), inviting top AI and cybersecurity experts to design new AI systems to help secure major open source projects which our critical infrastructure relies upon. As AI continues to grow, it’s crucial to invest in AI tools for Defenders, and this competition will help advance technology to do so. Google’s OSS-Fuzz and Security Engineering teams have been excited to assist AIxCC organizers in designing their challenges and competition framework. We also playtested the competition by building a Cyber Reasoning System (CRS) tackling DARPA’s exemplar challenge. This blog post will share our approach to the exemplar challenge using open source technology found in Google’s OSS-Fuzz, …
