  1. Computer Emergency Response Team

  2. CERT • Studies internet security vulnerabilities • Researches long term changes in networked systems • Develop information and security to help you improve computer security

  3. Recent Security Updates • Basic Fuzzing Framework 2.0 • Update allows users to more easily start “fuzzing”

  4. Fuzzing • Software testing technique • Automated or semi-automated • Provides invalid or random data to the computer program • Program is then monitored for crashes • Helps find potential security issues in the computer

  5. Basic Fuzzing Framework 2.0 • Rewritten in Python from Perl to improve performance • Added a “Rangefinder” • User doesn’t have to figure out manually how much input to fuzz • Automatically adjusts degree of input fuzzing

  6. Basic Fuzzing Framework 2.0 Continued • Rewrote Crash minimization • Logging in BFF uses Python logging module for all its logging needs • Incorporated a few statistics and visualization tools to help with analyzing BFF

  7. Other Recent Security Alerts • Adobe Flash has a vulnerability where it is open to an attacker • Solution: disable flash or apply an update • Microsoft Windows based applications may insecurely download security threats from a potential attacker • Solution: download a patch to fix this issue

  8. Safe Computers • Constantly looking for possible security threats and solutions • CERT continues to provide up to date protection for computers
