What is fuzzing in Python?

April 01, 2021 — Posted by Laura Pak Fuzz testing is a process of testing APIs with generated data. Fuzzing ensures that code will not break on the negative path, generating randomized inputs that try to cover every branch of code.

What is a fuzzing framework?

The CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework (BFF) is a software-testing tool that performs mutational fuzzing on software that consumes file input. (Mutational fuzzing is the act of taking well-formed input data and corrupting it in various ways, looking for cases that cause crashes.)

How does LibFuzzer work?

LibFuzzer is linked with the library under test, and feeds fuzzed inputs to the library via a specific fuzzing entrypoint (aka “target function”); the fuzzer then tracks which areas of the code are reached, and generates mutations on the corpus of input data in order to maximize the code coverage.
