About Radamsa
Radamsa is a test case generator for robustness testing or fuzzer. It is typically used to test how well a program can withstand malformed and potentially malicious inputs. It works by reading sample files of valid data and generating interestingly different outputs from them. The main selling points of Radamsa are that it has already found a slew of bugs in programs that actually matter, it is easily scriptable, and, easy to get up and running. Fuzzing is one of the techniques to find unexpected behavior in programs. The idea is simply to subject the program to various kinds of inputs and see what happens. There are two parts to this process: getting the various kinds of inputs and how to see what happens. Radamsa is a solution to the first part, and the second part is typically a short shell script. Testers usually have a more or less vague idea of what should not happen, and they try to find out if this is so.

Fuzzing Project
Fuzzing is a powerful strategy to find bugs in software. The idea is quite simple, which is to generate a large number of randomly malformed inputs for the software to parse and see what happens. If the program crashes then something is likely wrong. While fuzzing is a well-known strategy, it is surprisingly easy to find bugs, often with security implications, in widely used software. Memory access errors are the errors most likely to be exposed when fuzzing software that is written in C/C++. While they differ in the details, the core problem is often the same, the software reads or writes to the wrong memory locations. A modern Linux or BSD system ships a large number of basic tools that do some kind of file displaying and parsing. In their current state, most of these tools are not suitable for untrusted inputs. On the other hand, we have powerful tools these days that allow us to find and analyze these bugs.

go-fuzz
Go-fuzz is a coverage-guided fuzzing solution for testing Go packages. Fuzzing is mainly applicable to packages that parse complex inputs (both text and binary) and is especially useful for hardening systems that parse inputs from potentially malicious users (anything accepted over a network). go-fuzz has recently added preliminary support for fuzzing Go Modules. If you encounter a problem with modules, please file an issue with details. Data is a random input generated by go-fuzz, note that in most cases it is invalid. The function must return 1 if the fuzzer should increase the priority of the given input during subsequent fuzzing if the input must not be added to the corpus even if it gives new coverage, and 0 otherwise; other values are reserved for future use. The fuzz function must be in a package that go-fuzz can import. This means the code you want to test can't be in package main. Fuzzing internal packages is supported, however.

Honggfuzz
Honggfuzz is a security-oriented software fuzzer. Supports evolutionary, feedback-driven fuzzing based on code coverage (SW and HW-based). It’s multi-process and multi-threaded, there’s no need to run multiple copies of your fuzzer, as Honggfuzz can unlock the potential of all your available CPU cores with a single running instance. The file corpus is automatically shared and improved between all fuzzed processes. It’s blazingly fast when the persistent fuzzing mode is used. A simple/empty LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput function can be tested with up to 1mo iteration per second on a relatively modern CPU. Has a solid track record of uncovered security bugs, the only (to date) vulnerability in OpenSSL with the critical score mark was discovered by Honggfuzz. As opposed to other fuzzers, it will discover and report hijacked/ignored signals from crashes (intercepted and potentially hidden by a fuzzed program).

OWASP WSFuzzer
Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique, that basically consists in finding implementation bugs using malformed/semi-malformed data injection in an automated fashion. Let’s consider an integer in a program, which stores the result of a user’s choice between 3 questions. When the user picks one, the choice will be 0, 1, or 2, which makes three practical cases. Integers are stored as a static size variable. If the default switch case hasn’t been implemented securely, the program may crash and lead to “classical” security issues. Fuzzing is the art of automatic bug finding, and its role is to find software implementation faults and identify them if possible. A fuzzer is a program that automatically injects semi-random data into a program/stack and detects bugs. The data-generation part is made of generators, and vulnerability identification relies on debugging tools. Generators usually use combinations of static fuzzing vectors.
