Summary : Practical, instrumentation-driven fuzzer for binary formats
URL : https://github.com/AFLplusplus/AFLplusplus
License : ASL 2.0
Description : American fuzzy lop uses a novel type of compile-time instrumentation
: and genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting
: test cases that trigger new internal states in the targeted
: binary. This substantially improves the functional coverage for the
: fuzzed code. The compact synthesized corpuses produced by the tool are
: also useful for seeding other, more labor- or resource-intensive
: testing regimes down the road.
:
: Compared to other instrumented fuzzers, afl-fuzz is designed to be
: practical: it has a modest performance overhead, uses a variety of
: highly effective fuzzing strategies, requires essentially no
: configuration, and seamlessly handles complex, real-world use cases -
: say, common image parsing or file compression libraries.
