• Abstract: As emerging software vulnerabilities continuously threaten enterprises and Internet services, there is a critical need for improved security research capabilities. This paper introduces the Security Exploit Telemetry Collection (SETC) framework - an automated framework to generate reproducible vulnerability exploit data at scale for robust defensive security research. SETC deploys configurable environments to execute and record rich telemetry of vulnerability exploits within isolated containers. Exploits, vulnerable services, monitoring tools, and logging pipelines are defined via modular JSON configurations and deployed on demand. Compared to current manual processes, SETC enables automated, customizable, and repeatable vulnerability testing to produce diverse security telemetry. This research enables scalable exploit data generation to drive innovations in threat modeling, detection methods, analysis techniques, and remediation strategies. The capabilities of the framework are demonstrated through an example scenario. By addressing key barriers in security data generation, SETC represents a valuable platform to support impactful vulnerability and defensive security research.

  We present PathSentinel, which overcomes the limitations of previous techniques by combining static program analysis and access control policy analysis. By unifying program and access control policy analysis, PathSentinel identifies attack surfaces accurately and prunes many impractical attacks. To streamline vulnerability validation, PathSentinel leverages large language models (LLMs) to generate targeted exploit code.

  An Ensemble Defense System (EDS) is a cybersecurity framework aggregating multiple security tools to monitor and alert an organization during cyber attacks. The proposed EDS leverages a comprehensive range of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capabilities by introducing a hybrid of signature-based IDS and anomaly-based IDS tools. The effectiveness of the EDS is evaluated through a payload from a bash script that executes various attacks, including port scanning, privilege escalation, and Denial-of-Service (DoS)
