Summary

Buttercup is an open-source Cyber Reasoning System developed by Trail of Bits to autonomously discover and patch software vulnerabilities in open-source code repositories.

Description

Buttercup is a fully automated, AI-driven system designed to identify and fix vulnerabilities in open-source software. It utilizes AI-augmented mutational fuzzing, static analysis tools, and a multi-agent AI-driven patcher to enhance software security. The system comprises several components: Orchestrator, Seed Generator, Fuzzer, Program Model, and Patcher. Buttercup is open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license and is available on GitHub. It is compatible with Linux x86_64 and ARM64 systems and requires a minimum of 8 CPU cores, 16 GB RAM, and 100 GB of available disk space. Buttercup supports C and Java source code repositories that are OSS-Fuzz compatible and projects with existing fuzzing harnesses. It is written in Python and is AI-powered. Buttercup is available in English and is free to use under the AGPL-3.0 license. The company, Trail of Bits, was founded in 2012 and has offices in the United States and Canada.

User Reviews

• Easy to use, versatile, great support. Extremely lightweight and easy to install. Independent password manager, which makes it an agnostic platform: easy to integrate on different machines/OS. Beautiful, yet simple. Has an add-on supported on browsers for password prompt. Support mobile app for both Android and iOS. Double authentication. Superb customer support. Use it frequently to store my credentials, as it is dependent on your local encrypted file and not shared between sessions on browsers; Buttercup is more secured, but this makes it somewhat strange.
• I no longer forget my passwords or need to use the same password for everything just to remember them.
