Fuzzing and program analysis are a security professional’s bread and butter. The faster we are able to find bugs in software, the more effectively we are able to secure systems. However, system and code complexity has been exponentially increasingly over time, and exhaustively analyzing programs is becoming an intractable task. In this talk, I analyze 10 of the most exciting research papers published in the last few years and try to identify trends of how this field is progressing. I will show that AI-assisted program analysis is the only way forward, and share some ideas of where the field is heading in the future.
