You're probably not searching specifically enough. "New, unknown
problems" is a pretty vague thing to look for. If you are looking for an
automated tool to find specific types of vulnerabilities, you will
probably have better luck. For example if you're looking to scan C
source code for vulnerabilities, you would find a completely different
set of tools and tests than if you wanted to scan web apps from the UI
side. (Just for example.)

no, what I was talking about was programs/algorithms that actually scan
software to find new unknown problems.
i have never heard of anything like this myself nor can't think of an
efficient way of implementing it, yet someone claimed they exist.
I can't find any on google either?

Hey,
Recently an interesting topic on a forum cought my attention. The
topic was about automated vulnerability scanning.
Does anyone know of a good not-toooooo-technical FAQ/Paper on this
topic?
Does anyone know any good such scanners?
Beyond security (who I work for).
Qualys.
