AFL++ - Combining Incremental Steps of Fuzzing Research
Explore the latest advancements in fuzzing research through this 20-minute conference talk from USENIX WOOT '20. Dive into AFL++, a community-driven open-source tool that combines state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques to enhance comparability, reproducibility, and usability. Learn about its novel features, including the Custom Mutator API, which allows for target-specific mutators. Discover how AFL++ aims to become a new baseline for current and future research by enabling quick testing of new techniques and evaluating their effectiveness both individually and in combination. Gain insights into the evaluation of hand-picked fuzzing technologies and understand the importance of considering performance variations across different targets in future fuzzing research. Follow the presentation's structure, covering topics such as AFL, fuzzy roadblocks, mutation strategies, cross-comparison, mobile aspects, code quality, usability improvements, supported platforms, and future plans.
