OpenAI Report Reveals New Risks in Blockchain Security - WEEX
OpenAI researchers have published test results showing a new cybersecurity model autonomously detected and verified hundreds of software vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.
The system validated hundreds of local privilege escalation vulnerabilities from 2,308 initial findings. Security experts typically find about 20 similar vulnerabilities over the course of a year under normal conditions.
The AI also produced 291 working proof-of-concept exploits related to memory leaks and identified at least 10 previously unknown attack vectors.
The cost of the study was $1.2 million, with the average cost of each exploit estimated at $1,279.
The fact that open-source code is a fundamental element of blockchain security makes this situation critical for the Web3 ecosystem.
The ability of AI to find zero-day vulnerabilities raises questions about the adequacy of manual code audits.
Ripple's David Schwartz monitors node activity
David Schwartz, although transitioning to honorary retirement from his active CTO role at Ripple, continues to work on technical efforts within the XRP Ledger network.
According to the monitoring graphs of his personal server cluster, a node maintains over 550 active connections and processes around 110,000 messages per second.
