Fuzzing -- testing programs with random inputs -- has become the prime technique to detect bugs and vulnerabilities in programs. To generate inputs that cover new functionality, fuzzers require execution feedback from the program -- for…
Generating valid test inputs for a program is much easier if one knows the input language. We present first successes for a technique that, given a program P without any input samples or models, learns an input grammar that represents the…
