A repository hosting security research published by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). It contains research papers, tools, and analyses related to vulnerabilities and security topics, licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use cases

• find published MSRC security research papers
• study real-world vulnerability case studies from Microsoft
• learn about security research techniques used by MSRC
• reference Microsoft security disclosures for research
• explore exploit analysis writeups from a major vendor's response center

When to choose

• you want authoritative security research directly from Microsoft's response team
• you are studying vulnerability classes disclosed by MSRC
• you need citable security research material under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

When to avoid

• you need a production security tool or scanner rather than research material
• you want to contribute code, since external contributions are not currently accepted
• you need actionable defensive tooling rather than papers and analyses
