About this opportunity
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is seeking innovative solutions for the Securing Our Underlying Resources in Cyber Environments (SoURCE CODE) Program. The program aims to develop novel technologies to assist forensic experts in attributing cyberattacks to likely attackers based on coding styles. Key requirements include developing methods for feature extraction, similarity analysis, and demographic attribution of source code and binary files. Proposals will be evaluated on technical merit, funding availability, and other factors. The initial proposal due date is May 31, 2024, with potential start of the 30-month program in Q1 FY2025.
This solicitation has no set-aside designations. Multiple awards are anticipated as procurement contracts or other transactions. The work will primarily take place in the Washington, D.C. area. Performers will be required to provide software deliverables for independent government testing and evaluation using program datasets over the course of the two-phase effort.

The SoURCE CODE program is seeking to provide novel technologies to assist forensic experts in making determinations of the most likely attackers, based on coding styles. The program will explore full feature spaces in binary code and source code files to measure the similarity between files and provide information to forensic experts to the likely origins (country, groups, individuals, etc.). This capability would enable the automated matching of similar binaries from known samples, allowing analysts to speed up the attribution of malicious attacks to improve law enforcement and intelligence community responses.
