Team Atlanta, the masterminds behind Atlantis, an AI-driven cybersecurity solution competing in DARPA AIxCC, include six prestigious institutions led by Georgia Tech alumni. Despite challenges faced in past hacking competitions like DEF CON CTF and Pwn2Own, their focus remains on advancing cybersecurity through AI. While prepping for AIxCC, they honed in on static analysis and fine-tuning LLMs for source code to perform exceptionally well with CRS Skynet. Tackling initial uncertainties with strategic direction, they pivoted towards dynamic strategies like fuzzing for bug detection. Driven by a quest for bug-proof security, the team navigated through diverse harness formats and misunderstood the evolving PoV scoring system in AIxCC.
