      Researched and built binary analysis tools utilizing reverse engineering techniques under the DARPA ARCOS program with overall goal of evaluating software assurance evidence to determine whether system risk is acceptable. These tools are specifically built to address the problem of discovering security vulnerabilities given a binary when source code is unavailable • Developed a C++ software program (‘REVEAL’) to quantify attack surface within black box binaries (binaries without source code) • Analyzed instruction traces of large binary files (upwards of 9 GB) to identify function pointers and identify 10 locations vulnerable to buffer overflow • Created an initial iteration of a Rust-based Fuzzer (using LibAFL library) to explore how to simulate buffer overflow at locations identified by ‘REVEAL’ • Engineered C++ program to identify tagged conditionals in a binary and quantified MC/DC coverage as a novel approach to evaluate security risk Show less
