Abstract

A system and method for identifying and preventing vulnerability exploitation is provided. The system comprises a processor and memory. The memory stores one or more programs comprising instructions to execute a method. The method first comprises comparing a first version of a software module with a second version of a software module. Second, the system determines one or more differences between the first version and the second version. Next, the system represents the one or more differences as symbolic constraints. Last, the system generates a firewall for identifying exploitative input using the symbolic constraints.
