Fuzzy logic
Security experts have been warning that artificial intelligence tools used by software developers have been adopted by hackers to find new vulnerablilities. The methodology seems to work by trying to brute force bugs, which can then be analysed for exploit potential.
On another note, a previously secret malware search capability in Google has also been hijacked by virus writers. Sigh - don't we know security through obscurity doesn't work?
