AARDVARK: AI-Assisted Zero-Day Vulnerability Discovery

Customer Challenges

Are you a Federal or Commercial security professional struggling with “black-box” software risks? Security engineers often face:

Hidden Vulnerabilities

Invisible threats lurk within compiled code without source code access

Manual Bottlenecks

Analysis and reverse-engineering move slower than the adversary

Reporting Gaps

Public disclosures lack key data to pinpoint critical vulnerabilities

AARDVARK automates vulnerability discovery to illuminate hidden threats and secure your software.

The AI-Assisted Reversing, Discovery, Vulnerability Analysis, and Remediation Kit (AARDVARK) leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), and Machine Learning (ML) to perform AI-driven, static vulnerability analysis of binaries. This cutting-edge approach, which extends the proven capabilities of Dark Wolf’s internal LLM platform (WolfChat) and Saving Throw, aims to identify zero-day and N-day security vulnerabilities, ultimately improving the overall security posture of software and systems.

How Does AARDVARK Work?

Features and Benefits

The Dark Wolf Difference​

Unlike other COTS software products, AARDVARK is an innovative, affordable, and effective solution that applies cutting-edge AI technologies for static binary analysis. This is demonstrated by its use of a specialized adaptation of GenAI within the WolfChat platform to extract binary features, process data into a vector database, and provide quick retrieval by the LLM to answer user questions about the binary.

Customer Successes

During a recent security assessment of Android and iOS apps, AARDVARK slashed manual testing time from 40 hours down to 8 hours. This 80% increase in efficiency allowed our team to move beyond surface-level checks. By leveraging AARDVARK’s AI-driven deep-scan capabilities, we successfully uncovered and proved critical vulnerabilities, including an iOS buffer overflow and exposed Java exec() methods, that traditional manual assessments often miss.
