[–] vmorgulis 11y ago ↗ I found this paper mentioning CodePhage: http://people.csail.mit.edu/rinard/paper/pldi15.pdfVery interesting.
[–] Kalium 11y ago ↗ This seems like it could be used to automatically insert vulnerabilities, too. [–] namanyayg 11y ago ↗ Genuine question, how? By compromising the code of the trusted code repositories the algorithm uses? [–] Kalium 11y ago ↗ Basically, this is a general system for replacing undesirable traits with desirable ones in binaries. All you have to do is change the local selection criteria for desirable and undesirable.
