"If you've listened to Halvar Flake at BlackHat for the past six years, this will sound eerily familiar." As a regular attendee of BlackHat, I don't recall Halvar Flake ever even discussing the possibility of automatically generating PoCs from patches, let alone fleshing the idea out, implementing it, having it peer-reviewed, and publishing it. But I stopped paying attention when he began shilling products in every speech, so I must have missed it (although Google doesn't find it either). Can you provide a reference?
