Evaluating the Fork-Awareness of Coverage-Guided Fuzzers. (arXiv:2301.05060v1 [cs.CR])
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Fuzz testing (or fuzzing) is an effective technique used to find security
vulnerabilities. It consists of feeding a software under test with malformed
inputs, waiting for a weird system behaviour (often a crash of the system).
Over the years, different approaches have been developed, and among the most
popular lies the coverage-based one. It relies on the instrumentation of the
system to generate inputs able to cover as much code as possible. The success
of this approach is also due …
