Mr. Dustin Fraze

Information Innovation Office (I2O)

Program Manager

Mr. Dustin Fraze joined DARPA in January 2017 to develop, execute, and transition programs in cyberspace operations automation.

Mr. Fraze joined DARPA from Cromulence LLC, which he founded in 2014 and where he served as president and senior vulnerability researcher. From 2011 to 2014 Mr. Fraze was an engineer with Dagger Networks where his responsibilities included reverse engineering applications, developing exploits, and creating tools to leverage exploits. From 2008 to 2011 Mr. Fraze was an engineer with Raytheon, where he reverse engineered malware and user/kernel level software to determine its functionality and develop exploits for applications ranging from kernel drivers to user-level applications.

Mr. Fraze organized Capture the Flag (CTF) tournaments at four of the most recent DEF CON Hacking Conferences (21, 22, 23 and 24). For the DEF CON 24 CTF he hosted a qualifying round with over 500 international teams competing virtually. As a CTF player in prior DEF CONs (17, 18, and 20), he led two champion DEF CON CTF teams.

    Programs

    Computers and Humans Exploring Software Security (CHESS)
    The Department of Defense (DoD) maintains information systems that depend on Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, Government off-the-shelf (GOTS) software, and Free and open source (FOSS) software. Securing this diverse technology base requires highly skilled hackers who reason about the functionality of software and identify novel vulnerabilities.
    Harnessing Autonomy for Countering Cyberadversary Systems (HACCS)
    Malicious actors are currently able to compromise and use with impunity large numbers of devices owned and operated by third parties. Such collections of compromised and conscripted devices, commonly referred to as botnets, are used for criminal, espionage, and computer network attack purposes (often a combination of all three). Recent examples of botnets and similar malicious code include Mirai, Hidden Cobra, WannaCry, and Petya/NotPetya
    Space/Time Analysis for Cybersecurity (STAC)
    As new defensive technologies make old classes of vulnerability difficult to exploit successfully, adversaries move to new classes of vulnerability. Vulnerabilities based on flawed implementations of algorithms have been popular targets for many years. However, once new defensive technologies make vulnerabilities based on flawed implementations less common and more difficult to exploit, adversaries will turn their attention to vulnerabilities inherent in the algorithms themselves.

    Selected DARPA Achievements

    DARPA collaborated with industry on stealth technology.
    DARPA’s Stealth Revolution
    In the early days of DARPA’s work on stealth technology, Have Blue, a prototype of what would become the F-117A, first flew successfully in 1977. The success of the F-117A program marked the beginning of the stealth revolution, which has had enormous benefits for national security.
    DARPA microelectronics gave rise to today's GPS devices.
    Navigation in the Palm of Your Hand
    Early GPS receivers were bulky, heavy devices. In 1983, DARPA set out to miniaturize them, leading to a much broader adoption of GPS capability.
    First rough conceptual design of the ARPANET.
    Paving the Way to the Modern Internet
    ARPA research played a central role in launching the Information Revolution. The agency developed and furthered much of the conceptual basis for the ARPANET—prototypical communications network launched nearly half a century ago—and invented the digital protocols that gave birth to the Internet.
