Atom (⚛)
Atom is a novel intermediate representation for applications and a standalone tool powered by the chen library. The intermediate representation (a network with nodes and links) is optimized for operations typically used for application analytics and machine learning, including slicing and vectoring.
Our vision is to make atom useful for many use cases such as:
- Supply-chain analysis: Generate evidence of external library usage including the flow of data from sources to sinks. Atom is used by OWASP cdxgen to improve the precision and comprehensiveness of the generated CycloneDX document.
- Vulnerability analysis: Describe vulnerabilities with evidence of affected symbols, call paths, and data-flows. Enable variant and reachability analysis at scale.
- Exploit prediction: Predict exploits using precise representations of vulnerabilities, libraries, and applications.
- Threat-model and attack vectors generation: Generate precise threat models and attack vectors for applications at scale.
- Application context detection: Generate context useful for summarization and risk-profile generation (e.g. services, endpoints, and data attributes).
- Mind-maps for applications: Automate summarization of large and complex applications as a developer tool.
and more.
