[Dailydave] DARPA CGC Recap

[Chris Eagle]

I don't speak for DARPA.

FWIW, various CGC final event data is available here:

http://repo.cybergrandchallenge.com/cfe/

In particular, the score_data.json files contained in the round specific tar files in cfe-submissions.tgz allow you to see which teams fielded successful PoVs in each round.

Video of the dev team's CGC related Shmoocon panel is here: http://bit.ly/2p1LGcb

Some summary stats:

There were 82 challenge sets fielded during CFE.
Vulnerabilities were proven in 20 of them.
Unintended vulnerabilities were found in at least 5 of those 20.
The majority of flaws found were stack overflows.
In my opinion, there was only one legitimate, successful heap corruption PoV. Keep in mind that all of the challenges used custom heap implementations that the competitors had not seen before the final event.

A browsable archive of CGC data will be available soon.

Many papers are in various stages of publication by competitor teams and DARPA's CGC team. These should shed a lot of light on what took place during the final event.

Regards,

Chris
