The Exploit Factory: Building a home exploit mining cluster

In this talk John Dunlap will present a method for building a small scale compute cluster oriented toward large scale smart fuzzing on a home budget. John will present methods for converting performance concepts normally reserved for scientific computing applications into practical “fuzz farm” techniques. Topics such as high speed multithreading, vectorization, process management, and cluster node management will be discussed in a manner friendly to those new to scientific computing.
