About Boofuzz
Boofuzz is a fork of and the successor to the venerable Sulley fuzzing framework. Besides numerous bug fixes, Boofuzz aims for extensibility. Like Sulley, Boofuzzincorporates all the critical elements of a fuzzer like easy and quick data generation, instrumentation and failure detection, target reset after failure, and recording of test data. Much easier install experience and support for arbitrary communications mediums. Built-in support for serial fuzzing, ethernet- and IP-layer, UDP broadcast. Better recording of test data, consistent, thorough, and clear. Test result CSV export and extensible instrumentation/failure detection. Boofuzz installs as a Python library used to build fuzzer scripts. It is strongly recommended to set up Boofuzz in a virtual environment.

LibFuzzer
LibFuzzer is an in-process, coverage-guided, evolutionary fuzzing engine. LibFuzzer is linked with the library under test, and feeds fuzzed inputs to the library via a specific fuzzing entry point (or 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. The code coverage information for libFuzzer is provided by LLVM’s SanitizerCoverage instrumentation. LibFuzzer is still fully supported in that important bugs will get fixed. The first step in using libFuzzer on a library is to implement a fuzz target, a function that accepts an array of bytes and does something interesting with these bytes using the API under test. Note that this fuzz target does not depend on libFuzzer in any way so it is possible and even desirable to use it with other fuzzing engines like AFL and/or Radamsa.

Atheris
Atheris is a coverage-guided Python fuzzing engine. It supports fuzzing of Python code, but also native extensions written for CPython. Atheris is based on libFuzzer. When fuzzing native code, Atheris can be used to catch extra bugs. Atheris supports Linux (32- and 64-bit) and Mac OS X, with Python versions 3.6-3.10. It comes with a built-in libFuzzer, which is fine for fuzzing Python code. If you plan to fuzz native extensions, you may need to build from source to ensure the libFuzzer version in Atheris matches your Clang version. Atheris relies on libFuzzer, which is distributed with Clang. Apple Clang doesn't come with libFuzzer, so you'll need to install a new version of LLVM. Atheris is based on a coverage-guided mutation-based fuzzer (LibFuzzer). This has the advantage of not requiring any grammar definition for generating inputs, making its setup easier. The disadvantage is that it will be harder for the fuzzer to generate inputs for code that parses complex data types.

american fuzzy lop
American fuzzy lop is a security-oriented fuzzer that employs a novel type of compile-time instrumentation and genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting test cases that trigger new internal states in the targeted binary. This substantially improves the functional coverage for the fuzzed code. The compact synthesized corpora produced by the tool are also useful for seeding other, more labor or resource-intensive testing regimes down the road. Compared to other instrumented fuzzers, afl-fuzz is designed to be practical, it has a modest performance overhead, uses a variety of highly effective fuzzing strategies and effort minimization tricks, requires essentially no configuration, and seamlessly handles complex, real-world use cases, say, common image parsing or file compression libraries. It's an instrumentation-guided genetic fuzzer capable of synthesizing complex file semantics in a wide range of non-trivial targets.
