Cyber Reserve Corps

Abstract

The Cyber Reserve Corps program will develop technologies and tools to enable and educate private citizens to participate in the defense of cyberspace. Private citizens already collaborate on cyber-defense through the numerous blogs and message boards dedicated to issues such as diagnosing problems on home computers/networks and remediating the effects of malware on popular commercial systems. These activities are facilitated through a variety of software tools; additional tools for detecting and diagnosing known exploits and variants of known exploits will be developed. Cyber Reserve Corps will also create technologies for generating shareable host and network log files that are both informative with respect to new exploits yet preserve the privacy of user data, as well as tools for automating the analysis of these log files. Ordinarily this information would remain widely distributed, but Cyber Reserve Corps will make it possible to bring it all together to reveal subtle patterns of hostile activity that would otherwise go unnoticed.
