Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to exposing potential vulnerabilities in software programs. Techniques include referencing a software vulnerability assessment program, and modifying source code of a tested software program with native language commands. Techniques also include testing the modified software program, analyzing tracked executed code sections of output data to identify one or more current barriers in the tested software program, generating new input data for the tested software program configured to cross one or more current barriers, and merging the new generated input data with a dataset that is being tested by the software vulnerability assessment program.
