Device and method for inspecting software for vulnerabilities

Abstract

Provided is a device and method for inspecting software for vulnerabilities which fuzzes the software by function. The device for inspecting software for vulnerabilities includes a target function selecting module for selecting a function of the software for vulnerabilities to be inspected, a comparison file generating module for generating a first file including the selected function and a second file not including the selected function, a binary pattern comparing module for detecting a changed or added binary pattern by comparing binary values of the first file and the second file, a test case generating module for generating at least one test case based on the detected binary pattern, and a vulnerability verifying module for inspecting vulnerabilities based on the at least one test case and generating a vulnerability inspection result. Accordingly, by intensively fuzzing a part of the software which is changed or added according to the function of the software, software vulnerabilities can be found by each function and fuzing efficiency can be improved.
