Fuzzing | generates inputs modifying rather mutating provided seeds.example fuzzing image library libpng user would provide set valid png image files seeds mutationbased fuzzer would modify seeds produce semivalid variants seed.corpus seed files may contain thousands potentially similar inputs.automated seed selection test suite reduction allows users pick best seeds order maximize total number bugs found fuzz campaign.a generationbased fuzzer generates inputs scratch.instance smart generationbased fuzzer takes input model provided user generate new inputs. |
Fuzzing | unlike mutationbased fuzzers generationbased fuzzer depend existence quality corpus seed inputs.some fuzzers capability generate inputs scratch generate inputs mutation existing seeds.aware input structure typically fuzzers used generate inputs programs take structured inputs file sequence keyboard mouse events sequence messages.structure distinguishes valid input accepted processed program invalid input quickly rejected program.constitutes valid input may explicitly specified input model.examples input models formal grammars file formats guimodels network protocols. |
Fuzzing | even items normally considered input fuzzed contents databases shared memory environment variables precise interleaving threads.effective fuzzer generates semivalid inputs valid enough directly rejected parser invalid enough might stress corner cases exercise interesting program behaviours.a smart modelbased grammarbased protocolbased fuzzer leverages input model generate greater proportion valid inputs.instance input modelled abstract syntax tree smart mutationbased fuzzer would employ random transformations move complete subtrees one node another.input modelled formal grammar smart generationbased fuzzer would instantiate production rules generate inputs valid respect grammar.however generally input model must explicitly provided difficult model proprietary unknown complex. |
Fuzzing | large corpus valid invalid inputs available grammar induction technique angluins l algorithm would able generate input model.a dumb fuzzer require input model thus employed fuzz wider variety programs.instance afl dumb mutationbased fuzzer modifies seed file flipping random bits substituting random bytes interesting values moving deleting blocks data.however dumb fuzzer might generate lower proportion valid inputs stress parser code rather main components program.disadvantage dumb fuzzers illustrated means construction valid checksum cyclic redundancy check crc.crc errordetecting code ensures integrity data contained input file preserved transmission. |
Fuzzing | checksum computed input data recorded file.program processes received file recorded checksum match recomputed checksum file rejected invalid.fuzzer unaware crc unlikely generate correct checksum.however attempts identify recompute potential checksum mutated input dumb mutationbased fuzzer modified protected data.aware program structure typically fuzzer considered effective achieves higher degree code coverage. |
Fuzzing | rationale fuzzer exercise certain structural elements program also able reveal bugs hiding elements.program elements considered critical others.instance division operator might cause division zero error system call may crash program.a blackbox fuzzer treats program black box unaware internal program structure.instance random testing tool generates inputs random considered blackbox fuzzer.hence blackbox fuzzer execute several hundred inputs per second easily parallelized scale programs arbitrary size. |
Fuzzing | however blackbox fuzzers may scratch surface expose shallow bugs.hence attempts develop blackbox fuzzers incrementally learn internal structure behavior program fuzzing observing programs output given input.instance learnlib employs active learning generate automaton represents behavior web application.a whitebox fuzzer leverages program analysis systematically increase code coverage reach certain critical program locations.instance sage leverages symbolic execution systematically explore different paths program.if programs specification available whitebox fuzzer might leverage techniques modelbased testing generate inputs check program outputs program specification.a whitebox fuzzer effective exposing bugs hide deep program.however time used analysis program specification become prohibitive. |

Fuzzing | generally fuzzing used demonstrate presence bugs rather absence.running fuzzing campaign several weeks without finding bug prove program correct.program may still fail input executed yet executing program inputs prohibitively expensive.objective prove program correct inputs formal specification must exist techniques formal methods must used.exposing bugs order expose bugs fuzzer must able distinguish expected normal unexpected buggy program behavior. |
Fuzzing | however machine cannot always distinguish bug feature.automated software testing also called test oracle problem.typically fuzzer distinguishes crashing noncrashing inputs absence specifications use simple objective measure.crashes easily identified might indicate potential vulnerabilities e.g.denial service arbitrary code execution.however absence crash indicate absence vulnerability. |
Fuzzing | instance program written c may may crash input causes buffer overflow.rather programs behavior undefined.to make fuzzer sensitive failures crashes sanitizers used inject assertions crash program failure detected.different sanitizers different kinds bugsto detect memory related errors buffer overflows useafterfree using memory debuggers addresssanitizerto detect race conditions deadlocks threadsanitizerto detect undefined behavior undefinedbehaviorsanitizerto detect memory leaks leaksanitizer orto check controlflow integrity cfisanitizer.fuzzing also used detect differential bugs reference implementation available.automated regression testing generated inputs executed two versions program.automated differential testing generated inputs executed two implementations program e.g. |
Fuzzing | lighttpd httpd implementations web server.two variants produce different output input one may buggy examined closely.validating static analysis reports static program analysis analyzes program without actually executing it.might lead false positives tool reports problems program actually exist.fuzzing combination dynamic program analysis used try generate input actually witnesses reported problem. |
