In 2016, DARPA turned to hacking and sponsored a CTF challenge, the Cyber Grand Challenge, to see whether machines could successfully find and patch software vulnerabilities. This was an automated version of a typical capture the flag competition, and what happened there is covered in EP 03 of the The Hacker Mind. Google Podcasts.
