honggfuzz
Description
A security oriented, feedback-driven, evolutionary, easy-to-use fuzzer with interesting analysis options. See USAGE for more data on the usage.
- It's multi-threaded and multi-process: no need to run multiple copies of your fuzzer, as honggfuzz can unlock potential of all your available CPU cores. The file corpus is shared between threads (and fuzzed instances)
- It's blazingly fast (esp. in the persistent fuzzing mode). A simple LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput function can be tested with up to 1mo iterations per second on a relatively modern CPU (e.g. i7-6700K)
- Has a nice track record of uncovered security bugs: e.g. the only (to the date) vulnerability in OpenSSL with the critical score mark was discovered by honggfuzz. See the Throphies paragraph for the summary of findings to the date
- Uses low-level interfaces to monitor processes (e.g. ptrace under Linux). As opposed to other fuzzers, it will discover and report hidden signals (caught and potentially hidden by signal handlers)
- Easy-to-use, feed it a simple input corpus (can even consist of a single, 1-byte file) 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, Mac OS X, Windows/CygWin and Android
- Supports persistent fuzzing mode (long-lived process calling a fuzzed API repeatedly) with libhfuzz/libhfuzz.a. More on that can be found here
- Can fuzz remote/standalone long-lasting processes (e.g. network servers like Apache's httpd and ISC's bind), though the persistent fuzzing mode is suggested instead: as it's faster and multiple instances of a service can be fuzzed at once in this mode
- It comes with the examples directory, consisting of real world fuzz setups for widely-used software (e.g. Apache and OpenSSL)
Code
- Latest stable version: 1.2, but using the master branch is highly encouraged
- Changelog
Requirements
- Linux - The BFD library (libbfd-dev) and libunwind (libunwind-dev/libunwind8-dev), clang-4.0 or higher for software-based coverage modes
- FreeBSD - gmake, clang-3.6 or newer (clang-devel/4.0 suggested)
- Android - Android SDK/NDK. Also see this detailed doc on how to build and run it
- Windows - CygWin
- Darwin/OS X - Xcode 10.8+
- if Clang/LLVM is used to compile honggfuzz - link it with the BlocksRuntime Library (libblocksruntime-dev)
