Ask HN: Looking for Research Ideas in Cybersecurity (Graduate Student)

1 hogexmox 0 7/23/2025, 4:45:16 AM

Hi HN,

I'm a graduate student currently looking for a research topic in cybersecurity. I'm especially interested in analyzing source code to predict or detect vulnerabilities, but I've hit a bit of a wall and could use some fresh ideas.

If you know of any interesting or socially impactful problems—whether technical, theoretical, or policy-related—I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Anything is welcome. Thanks!
