VAMPIRE is a collaborative project which aims at providing the conceptual approaches and the practical solutions to detect and manage vulnerabilities in the current and future Internet.

The project targets the development of advanced vulnerability discovery methods based on :

• smart fault injection -fuzzing-
• stateful and automated fuzzing and
• passive host-level attack detection.

The project particularly targets IMS and VoIP services and infrastructures.

The major research activities undertaken in the VAMPIRE project will be to build a theory of fuzzing and vulnerability monitoring capable to provide both quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as to provide a structured approach capable to deal efficiently with unknown applications/services.

VAMPIRE is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) under contract no. ANR-08-VERS-017.
