  • Architecture for automated detection and analysis of security issues
    Patent number: 7594142
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) that relate to an architecture for automated detection and analysis of security issues are described herein. One aspect of the tools provides a watchdog application that generates fizzing signals that enable or disable fuzzing of test cases that are to be received by the watchdog application. The watchdog application also receives notifications of test cases that are to be executed on a system under test with which the watchdog application is associated. Finally, the watchdog application monitors the system under test when it is executing the test case.
