HexHive Laboratory

The Laboratoire HexHive at EPFL focuses on software and systems security, aiming to discover and remove bugs while making programs resilient against vulnerabilities. They develop sanitization and fuzzing techniques for bug discovery, and focus on control-flow integrity, type integrity, and data protection to safeguard against exploitable vulnerabilities. Their research includes compiler-based, runtime-based, and language-based protection mechanisms, all released as open-source. The team members include Mathias Payer, Marcel Busch, Flavio Toffalini, Gwangmu Lee, Qiang Liu, Atri Bhattacharyya, and several PhD candidates and scholars.
