We design and implement from scratch a new fuzzer called SIVO that refines multiple stages of grey-box fuzzing. First, SIVO refines data-flow fuzzing in two ways: (a) it provides a new taint inference engine that requires only logarithmic…

Direct kernel fuzzing is a targeted approach that focuses on specific areas of the kernel, effectively addressing the challenges of frequent updates and the inherent complexity of operating systems, which are critical infrastructure. This…

Fuzzing is a popular dynamic program analysis technique used to find vulnerabilities in complex software. Fuzzing involves presenting a target program with crafted malicious input designed to cause crashes, buffer overflows, memory errors,…

Fuzzing is one of the key techniques for evaluating the robustness of programs against attacks. Fuzzing has to be effective in producing inputs that cover functionality and find vulnerabilities. But it also has to be efficient in producing…

Coverage-guided gray-box fuzzing (CGF) is an efficient software testing technique. There are usually multiple objectives to optimize in CGF. However, existing CGF methods cannot successfully find the optimal values for multiple objectives…

Greybox fuzzing has achieved success in revealing bugs and vulnerabilities in programs. However, randomized mutation strategies have limited the fuzzer's performance on structured data. Specialized fuzzers can handle complex structured…

Directed grey-box fuzzing (DGF) is a target-guided fuzzing intended for testing specific targets (e.g., the potential buggy code). Despite numerous techniques proposed to enhance directedness, the existing DGF techniques still face…

Real-world programs expecting structured inputs often has a format-parsing stage gating the deeper program space. Neither a mutation-based approach nor a generative approach can provide a solution that is effective and scalable. Large…

Vulnerable software represents a tremendous threat to modern information systems. Vulnerabilities in widespread applications may be used to spread malware, steal money and conduct target attacks. To address this problem, developers and…

Directed grey-box fuzzing (DGF) aims to discover vulnerabilities in specific code areas efficiently. Distance metric, which is used to measure the quality of seed in DGF, is a crucial factor in affecting the fuzzing performance. Despite…

Fuzzing has gained in popularity for software vulnerability detection by virtue of the tremendous effort to develop a diverse set of fuzzers. Thanks to various fuzzing techniques, most of the fuzzers have been able to demonstrate great…

Fuzzing is one of the fastest growing fields in software testing. The idea behind fuzzing is to check the behavior of software against a large number of randomly generated inputs, trying to cover all interesting parts of the input space,…

Fuzzing and symbolic execution are popular techniques for finding vulnerabilities and generating test-cases for programs. Fuzzing, a blackbox method that mutates seed input values, is generally incapable of generating diverse inputs that…

A code-level backdoor is a hidden access, programmed and concealed within the code of a program. For instance, hard-coded credentials planted in the code of a file server application would enable maliciously logging into all deployed…

gVisor is a Google-published application-level kernel for containers. As gVisor is lightweight and has sound isolation, it has been widely used in many IT enterprises \cite{Stripe, DigitalOcean, Cloundflare}. When a new vulnerability of the…

Binary-only fuzzing often struggles with achieving thorough code coverage and uncovering hidden vulnerabilities due to limited insight into a program's internal dataflows. Traditional grey-box fuzzers guide test case generation primarily…

Fuzzing network servers is a technical challenge, since the behavior of the target server depends on its state over a sequence of multiple messages. Existing solutions are costly and difficult to use, as they rely on manually-customized…

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…

Graph algorithms, such as shortest path finding, play a crucial role in enabling essential applications and services like infrastructure planning and navigation, making their correctness important. However, thoroughly testing graph…

Greybox fuzzing is a proven and effective testing method for the detection of security vulnerabilities and other bugs in modern software systems. Greybox fuzzing can also be used in combination with a sanitizer, such as AddressSanitizer…
