Description : instrumentation-driven fuzzer for binary formats
American fuzzy lop uses a novel type of compile-time instrumentation and
genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting test
cases and substantially improve the functional coverage for the tested
code.
Compared to other instrumented fuzzers, the tool is designed to be
practical: it has a modest performance overhead, uses a variety of
highly effective fuzzing strategies, and seamlessly handles complex,
real-world use cases - say, common image parsing or file compression
libraries.
Using libjpeg as an example, the tool easily toggles twice as many
branches as non-instrumented fuzzing, and identifies around 40% more
distinctive test cases compared to statement coverage algorithms.
