• abstract = "Mimicry attacks have been the focus of detector research where the objective of the attacker is to generate multiple attacks satisfying the same generic exploit goals for a given vulnerability. In this work, multi-objective Genetic programming is used to establish a black-box approach to mimicry attack generation. No knowledge is made of internal data structures of the target anomaly detector, only the anomaly rate reported by the detector. Such a 'black box' methodology enables a vulnerability testing approach where both open-source and commodity anomaly detection systems can be tested. The approach successfully identifies exploits when benchmarked over four detectors and four applications.",
