This is the second of two articles that describe how to use the Defensics SDK in fuzzing Bitcoin. In the previous article, you saw how to set up a test bed for bitcoind. We created two containers, alice and bob, and were able to set up communication between the two bitcoind instances. In this article, you’ll learn […]

This is the first of two articles that describe how to use the Defensics SDK to fuzz Bitcoin software. Specifically, you will learn how to model one of the Bitcoin protocol messages and use the Defensics SDK to perform fuzzing on the bitcoind process. This is an advanced technical tutorial, and you will need some background […]

Last October, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack by the name of Mirai brought popular websites such as Netflix, Spotify, Twitter, SoundCloud, and more to their knees. Now, nearly a year later, Mirai is a distant memory, but we may not have seen the worst of Internet of Things (IoT) DDoS attacks. Security researchers at cyber […]

In a recent open source hackathon, we found a remote DoS vulnerability (CVE-2017-7645), a lack of buffer checks (CVE-2017-7895), and another remote DoS vulnerability (CVE-2017-8797). Learn more about these Linux kernel vulnerabilities and how we found them. At Synopsys, our R&D teams routinely organize internal hackathons to verify the Synopsys Software Integrity Portfolio’s performance in […]
