I am happy to share that our paper deepSURF (led by my student George Androutsopoulos) has been accepted to IEEE S&P 2026!

We combined program analysis and LLMs to uncover memory safety bugs in Rust’s unsafe code.

Interested in graduate studies? Consider applying for a PhD in CS at Purdue.

I am seeking motivated students with interests in software/systems security, binary/program analysis, and mobile security.

The deadline for Fall'25 is Dec. 20.

As part of the Shellphish team, we qualified for the DARPA/ARPA-H AIxCC Final Event and got a $2,000,000 gift!

Thank you to all the Purdue's students and faculties involved and to the entire Shellphish team!

I am happy to announce Patcherex2 (github.com/purseclab/Patc…), an easy-to-use, Python-based binary patching tool, designed to be extensible and compatible with multiple architectures.

The code was mainly written by my student @__Han_Dai__ at @PurdueCS, for the DARPA AMP program.
