Project Naptime: Evaluating Offensive Security Capabilities of Large Language Models
At Project Zero, we constantly seek to expand the scope and effectiveness of our vulnerability research. Though much of our work still relies on traditional methods like manual source code audits and reverse engineering, we're always looking for new approaches. As the code comprehension and general reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) has improved, we have been exploring how these models can reproduce the systematic approach of a human security researcher when identifying and demonstrating security vulnerabilities. We hope that in the future, this can close some of the blind spots of current automated vulnerability discovery approaches, and enable automated detection of "unfuzzable" vulnerabilities.
