honggfuzz

Description

A security oriented, feedback-driven, evolutionary, easy-to-use fuzzer with interesting analysis options. See USAGE for the description of command-line options.

• It's multi-process and multi-threaded: no need to run multiple copies of your fuzzer, as honggfuzz can unlock potential of all your available CPU cores with a single supervising process. The file corpus is automatically shared and improved between the fuzzing threads and fuzzed processes.
• It's blazingly fast when in the persistent fuzzing mode). A simple/empty LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput function can be tested with up to 1mo iterations per second on a relatively modern CPU (e.g. i7-6700K)
• Has a solid track record of uncovered security bugs: the only (to the date) vulnerability in OpenSSL with the critical score mark was discovered by honggfuzz. See the Trophies paragraph for the summary of findings to the date
• Uses low-level interfaces to monitor processes (e.g. ptrace under Linux and NetBSD). As opposed to other fuzzers, it will discover and report hijacked/ignored signals from crashes (intercepted and potentially hidden by a fuzzed program)
• Easy-to-use, feed it a simple corpus directory (can even be empty) and it will work its way up expanding it utilizing feedback-based coverage metrics
• Supports several (more than any other coverage-based feedback-driven fuzzer) hardware-based (CPU: branch/instruction counting, Intel BTS, Intel PT) and software-based feedback-driven fuzzing methods known from other fuzzers (libfuzzer, afl)
• Works (at least) under GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, Windows/CygWin and Android
• Supports the persistent fuzzing mode (long-lived process calling a fuzzed API repeatedly) with libhfuzz/libhfuzz.a. More on that can be found here
• It comes with the examples directory, consisting of real world fuzz setups for widely-used software (e.g. Apache and OpenSSL)
