* Package name : trinity Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Dave Jones <da...@redhat.com> * URL : http://codemonkey.org.uk/projects/trinity * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : A Linux System call fuzz tester As 'fuzz testing' suggests, trinity calls syscalls at random, with random arguments. Where Trinity differs is that the arguments it passes are not purely random. If a syscall took, for example, a file descriptor as an argument, one of the first things kernels does is validate that fd, if is not valid the kernel would just reject it as -EINVAL. So on startup, Trinity creates a list of file descriptors, by opening pipes, scanning sysfs, procfs, /dev, and creates a bunch of sockets using random network protocols. Then when a syscall needs an fd, it gets passed one of these at random. Trinity also shares those file descriptors between multiple threads, which causes havoc sometimes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
