REcon 2013,

(60 minutes).
The last decade has seen a large focus on vulnerability discovery automation with various methods of fuzzing and input generation, however little has been said about crash analysis or triage. This talk will discuss a powerful toolchain for crash analysis that incorporates the best available approaches for automated reasoning about memory access violation exceptions and overcomes limitations in currently available tools such as !exploitable and crashwrangler.
