Coverage-based greybox fuzzing (CGF) is one of the most successful methods for automated vulnerability detection. Given a seed file (as a sequence of bits), CGF randomly flips, deletes or bits to generate new files. CGF iteratively…
We present a coverage-guided testing algorithm for distributed systems implementations. Our main innovation is the use of an abstract formal model of the system that is used to define coverage. Such abstract models are frequently developed…
We present DynamiQ, a full-fledged and optimized successor to AFLTeam that supports dynamic and adaptive parallel fuzzing. Unlike most existing approaches that treat individual seeds as tasks, DynamiQ leverages structural information from…
Fuzzing has emerged as a powerful technique for finding security bugs in complicated real-world applications. American fuzzy lop (AFL), a leading fuzzing tool, has demonstrated its powerful bug finding ability through a vast number of…
Robustness is a key concern for Rust library development because Rust promises no risks of undefined behaviors if developers use safe APIs only. Fuzzing is a practical approach for examining the robustness of programs. However, existing…
In recent years, fuzzing has been widely applied not only to application software but also to system software, including the Linux kernel and firmware, and has become a powerful technique for vulnerability discovery. Among these approaches,…
Fuzzing is an effective technique for discovering software vulnerabilities by generating random test inputs and executing them against the target program. However, fuzzing large and complex programs remains challenging due to difficulties…
Fuzz Testing techniques are the state of the art in software testing for security issues nowadays. Their great effectiveness attracted the attention of researchers and hackers and involved them in developing a lot of new techniques to…
Since the advent of AFL, the use of mutational, feedback directed, grey-box fuzzers has become critical in the automated detection of security vulnerabilities. A great deal of research currently goes into their optimisation, including…
We improve the performance of the American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) fuzz testing framework by using Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) models to reinitialize the system with novel seed files. We assess performance based on the temporal rate at…
Despite its effectiveness in uncovering software defects, American Fuzzy Lop (AFL), one of the best grey-box fuzzers, is inefficient when fuzz-testing source-unavailable programs. AFL's binary-only fuzzing mode, QEMU-AFL, is typically 2-5X…
Bounded model checking (BMC) and fuzzing techniques are among the most effective methods for detecting errors and security vulnerabilities in software. However, there are still shortcomings in detecting these errors due to the inability of…
A common paradigm for improving fuzzing performance is to focus on selected regions of a program rather than its entirety. While previous work has largely explored how these locations can be reached, their selection, that is, the where, has…
Traffic Steering (TS) dynamically allocates user traffic across cells to enhance Quality of Experience (QoE), load balance, and spectrum efficiency in 5G networks. However, TS algorithms remain vulnerable to adversarial conditions such as…
Fuzzing is an automated software testing technique broadly adopted by the industry. A popular variant is mutation-based fuzzing, which discovers a large number of bugs in practice. While the research community has studied mutation-based…
In the testing-retraining pipeline for enhancing the robustness property of deep learning (DL) models, many state-of-the-art robustness-oriented fuzzing techniques are metric-oriented. The pipeline generates adversarial examples as test…
