These configurations consist of parameters that can be individually set to control different aspects of the system. Many cyber attacks can be attributed to misconfigured software. Exploits can be caused by a single parameter setting or a combination of settings. Identifying these parameter settings that are responsible for the exploits is difficult, as configurations often consist of hundreds of thousands of parameters. Some vulnerabilities are caused by a combination of settings, and these interdependencies between parameters further complicate this problem. en Wake Forest University Using Genetic Algorithms to Detect Security Related Software Parameter Chains Thesis Fulp, Errin W Canas, Daniel A Turkett, William H Computer Science open.access
