Atheris is a coverage-guided fuzzer for CPython that treats Python as a first-class fuzzing target, enabling rapid discovery of crashes and logic errors in pure-Python code and native extensions. It hooks into Python’s interpreter to collect fine-grained coverage and uses that signal to evolve inputs, pushing programs into previously unexplored code paths. Because many Python libraries are thin wrappers over C/C++ code, Atheris is equally adept at surfacing memory safety issues in extension modules compiled with sanitizers. The tool integrates smoothly with Python’s packaging and unit-test ecosystems, so you can wrap existing tests as fuzz targets and keep results understandable. ...
