Sandbox-Enabled Digital Twin for Cyber-Physical Systems
Meet Udeshi, Md Raz, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +2
Firmware/software in cyber-physical system (CPS) embedded devices/controllers can have vulnerabilities stemming from multiple sources such as weak security practices, outdated libr…
Long-Term and Short-Term Transistor Aging in Deep Neural Networks: Impact and Mitigation
Alireza Sarmadi, Virinchi Roy Surabhi, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +3
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are used in a variety of real-world applications including, for example, image classification and speech recognition. The inference accuracy of DNN impl…
CTFExplorer: Evaluating LLM Offensive Agents Through Multi-Target Web CTF Benchmarking
Nanda Rani, Kimberly Milner, Minghao Shao +9
Existing benchmarks for LLM-based offensive security agents use isolated, single-target setups with a known vulnerable service and fixed objective. They measure exploitation effect…
BOP-ASK: Object-Interaction Reasoning for Vision-Language Models
Vineet Bhat, Sungsu Kim, Valts Blukis +6
Vision Language Models (VLMs) have achieved impressive performance on spatial reasoning benchmarks, yet these evaluations mask critical weaknesses in understanding object interacti…
Towards Effective Offensive Security LLM Agents: Hyperparameter Tuning, LLM as a Judge, and a Lightweight CTF Benchmark
Minghao Shao, Nanda Rani, Kimberly Milner +9
Recent advances in LLM agentic systems have improved the automation of offensive security tasks, particularly for Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges. We systematically investigate t…
RESCORE: LLM-Driven Simulation Recovery in Control Systems Research Papers
Vineet Bhat, Shiqing Wei, Ali Umut Kaypak +3
Reconstructing numerical simulations from control systems research papers is often hindered by underspecified parameters and ambiguous implementation details. We define the task of…
