We just wrapped up our submission for the IBM Bob 2.0 Hackathon!
Our team, Syntax and Synergy, built Resilix—an autonomous adversarial agent that tests code resilience and auto-generates defensive security patches before code hits production.
🚨 The Problem
Developers and AI models are writing code faster than ever. However, security testing tools are often built for slow, late-stage pipeline audits rather than active development. Unhandled null pointers, string overflows, and SQL injections frequently slip through under hostile edge cases.
🛡️ What Resilix Does
Resilix acts as a real-time defensive assistant:
- Multi-Vector Payload Fuzzing: Analyzes code against SQLi, null pointer exceptions, buffer overflows, and malformed structures.
- Dynamic Resilience Score: Deducts severity weights to calculate a instant 0–100 safety score.
- Automated Defensive Patching: Generates copy-pasteable fixed code snippets alongside detailed risk breakdowns.
- Chaos Dashboard: A clean, dark-mode web UI for instant local testing.
🧰 How We Built It with IBM Bob 2.0
The entire application was built inside the IBM Bob 2.0 environment:
-
Plan Mode: Structured our microservice architecture, API endpoints (
/api/fuzz), and scoring formulas. -
Agent Mode: Generated our Flask server logic (
app.py) and single-page interactive UI (index.html). -
Workspace Context: Maintained rules across
.bob/rules-*and tracked all execution logs inbob_sessions/.
