american fuzzy lop Description

American fuzzy lop, a security-oriented fuzzer, uses a novel form of compile-time tooling and genetic algorithms to discover clean test cases that trigger internal states within the binary. This improves the functional coverage of the fuzzed codes. The compact corpora generated by the tool can also be used to seed other, more resource-intensive or labor-intensive testing regimes in the future. Afl-fuzz, in comparison to other instrumented fuzzers, is designed to be practical. It has a modest overhead, uses highly effective fuzzing techniques and effort minimization tricks. It requires little configuration and handles complex real-world use-cases, such as common image parsing and file compression libraries. It's an instrumentation-guided genetic fuzzer capable of synthesizing complex file semantics in a wide range of non-trivial targets.
