CMU Professor To Compete in Computer Vs. Computer Hacking

Brumley's spinoff ForAllSecure Is One of Seven Teams in the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge. Daniel Tkacik / 412-268-1187 / dtkacik [a] andrew.cmu (p) edu - Carnegie Mellon University's David Brumley is heading to a national stage to compete against the country's best bug finders. Brumley, co-founder of the CMU spinoff ForAllSecure , will compete for the grand prize at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Cyber Grand Challenge , a first-of-its-kind hacking contest between computers, on Aug. 4 in Las Vegas. The winner among the seven teams will take home $2 million. Brumley has a vision for ForAllSecure's automated bug-finding system that reaches far beyond the contest. "What we hope to be able to do is make it so everyone can check the security of their software," said Brumley, CEO of ForAllSecure, director of Carnegie Mellon CyLab , and professor of electrical and computer engineering (ECE).
