        # Software security paper list

This repository contains a curated list of papers relevant to:

* software security;

* program analysis; and

* systems security.

The list is divided into further sub-topics and include a sub-topic called "General" for papers that either have not been sorted into a sub-topic yet or do not fit into any sub-topics.

This list is maintained by:

* [David Korczynski](https://twitter.com/Davkorcz); and

* [Adam Korczynski](https://twitter.com/AdamKorcz4)

PRs are very welcome.

### Download all automatically

The `auto_download.py` script can be used to download either all of the papers or the papers for a given subtopic.

`auto_download.py` will create a directory `out` in the current working directory if it does not already exist. Then it will create another folder in `out` with the name of the sub-topic you are choosing to download or `All` in case you download all papers.

Example uses:

```

# Download all papers

python ./auto_download.py All

# Download all papers related to Fuzzing

python ./auto_download.py Fuzzing

# Download all papers related to Malware

python ./auto_download.py Malware

```
