Family-Based Fingerprint Analysis: A Position Paper. (arXiv:2209.15620v1 [cs.CR])

Thousands of vulnerabilities are reported on a monthly basis to security
repositories, such as the National Vulnerability Database. Among these
vulnerabilities, software misconfiguration is one of the top 10 security risks
for web applications. With this large influx of vulnerability reports, software
fingerprinting has become a highly desired capability to discover distinctive
and efficient signatures and recognize reportedly vulnerable software
implementations. Due to the exponential worst-case complexity of fingerprint
matching, designing more efficient methods for fingerprinting becomes highly
desirable, especially …
