LibFuzzer Description

LibFuzzer serves as an in-process, coverage-guided engine for evolutionary fuzzing. By being linked directly with the library under examination, it injects fuzzed inputs through a designated entry point, or target function, allowing it to monitor the code paths that are executed while creating variations of the input data to enhance code coverage. The coverage data is obtained through LLVM’s SanitizerCoverage instrumentation, ensuring that users have detailed insights into the testing process. Notably, LibFuzzer continues to receive support, with critical bugs addressed as they arise. To begin utilizing LibFuzzer with a library, one must first create a fuzz target—this function receives a byte array and interacts with the API being tested in a meaningful way. Importantly, this fuzz target operates independently of LibFuzzer, which facilitates its use alongside other fuzzing tools such as AFL or Radamsa, thereby providing versatility in testing strategies. Furthermore, the ability to leverage multiple fuzzing engines can lead to more robust testing outcomes and clearer insights into the library's vulnerabilities.

TrustInSoft Analyzer Reviews
TrustInSoft Analyzer
(6 Ratings)
TrustInSoft commercializes a source code analyzer called TrustInSoft Analyzer, which analyzes C and C++ code and mathematically guarantees the absence of defects, immunity of software components to the most common security flaws, and compliance with a specification. The technology is recognized by U.S. federal agency the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and was the first in the world to meet NIST’s SATE V Ockham Criteria for high quality software. The key differentiator for TrustInSoft Analyzer is its use of mathematical approaches called formal methods, which allow for an exhaustive analysis to find all the vulnerabilities or runtime errors and only raises true alarms. Companies who use TrustInSoft Analyzer reduce their verification costs by 4, efforts in bug detection by 40, and obtain an irrefutable proof that their software is safe and secure. The experts at TrustInSoft can also assist clients in training, support and additional services.

afl-unicorn Reviews
afl-unicorn
AFL-Unicorn provides the capability to fuzz any binary that can be emulated using the Unicorn Engine, allowing you to target specific code segments for testing. If you can emulate the desired code with the Unicorn Engine, you can effectively use AFL-Unicorn for fuzzing purposes. The Unicorn Mode incorporates block-edge instrumentation similar to what AFL's QEMU mode employs, enabling AFL to gather block coverage information from the emulated code snippets to drive its input generation process. The key to this functionality lies in the careful setup of a Unicorn-based test harness, which is responsible for loading the target code, initializing the state, and incorporating data mutated by AFL from its disk storage. After establishing these parameters, the test harness emulates the binary code of the target, and upon encountering a crash or error, triggers a signal to indicate the issue. While this framework has primarily been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it is designed to be compatible with any operating system that can run both AFL and Unicorn without issues. With this setup, developers can enhance their fuzzing efforts and improve their binary analysis workflows significantly.

Jazzer Reviews
Jazzer
Jazzer, created by Code Intelligence, is a coverage-guided fuzzer designed for the JVM platform that operates within the process. It draws inspiration from libFuzzer, incorporating several of its advanced mutation features powered by instrumentation into the JVM environment. Users can explore Jazzer's autofuzz mode via Docker, which autonomously produces arguments for specified Java functions while also identifying and reporting any unexpected exceptions and security vulnerabilities that arise. Additionally, individuals can utilize the standalone Jazzer binary available in GitHub release archives, which initiates its own JVM specifically tailored for fuzzing tasks. This flexibility allows developers to effectively test their applications for robustness against various edge cases.
