Samaritan is an ongoing research project at the Department of Software Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. Our vision in this research project is to assist developers in engineering secure software by providing a technique that generates scientific, interpretable, and actionable feedback on security as the software evolves.
As of June 06, 2019, we have 9 vulnerability discovery metrics implemented.
If you want to know more about the project, please see our paper titled Assisted Discovery of Software Vulnerabilities [1] presented at the Doctoral Symposium at International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) in 2018.
