Vulnerabilities Database

Principal Investigators: Steve Hare, Eugene Spafford

Research Assistants: T. Daniels, J. Early, T. Jagatic, B. Kuperman, P. Meunier, S. Miller, D. Zmaboni, I. Zubarev

Sponsor: COAST Laboratory sponsors

The vulnerability database and vulnerability analysis project at COAST is involved in collecting and analyzing computer vulnerabilities for a variety of purposes. These include the application of knowledge discovery and data mining tools to find non-obvious relationships in vulnerability data, the development of useful vulnerability classifications, and the development of tools that will help generate intrusion detection signatures from vulnerability information. We intend to construct a resource that will be of long-term use to others in the research community studying issues of system vulnerability and protection.
