The BitBlaze project focuses on building a unified binary program analysis platform and using it to provide novel solutions to computer security problems. The binary analysis platform provides an extensible architecture and a broad range of static analysis, dynamic analysis, and program verification capabilities, all of which operate directly on compiled binaries. These capabilities enable BitBlaze to take a principled approach to security that focuses on identifying the underlying root causes of security vulnerabilities and devising defenses based on them.
We have used BitBlaze to enable over a dozen security applications, including patch-based exploit generation, automatic generation of vulnerability signatures for defense, and model extraction from web browsers for vulnerability discovery. This talk provides an overview of the BitBlaze project and presents some recent results that use BitBlaze to solve a number of important security problems.
I will also briefly describe a new project, WebBlaze, where we employ the experience learned from BitBlaze to develop techniques and tools for vulnerability discovery and defense on the web. Some solutions proposed in WebBlaze have been deployed in Google Chrome. For more information, please see http://bitblaze.cs.berkeley.edu and http://webblaze.cs.berkeley.edu. |
