About afl-unicorn

afl-unicorn lets you fuzz any piece of binary that can be emulated by Unicorn Engine. If you can emulate the code you’re interested in using the Unicorn Engine, you can fuzz it with afl-unicorn. Unicorn Mode works by implementing the block-edge instrumentation that AFL’s QEMU mode normally does into Unicorn Engine. Basically, AFL will use block coverage information from any emulated code snippet to drive its input generation. The whole idea revolves around the proper construction of a Unicorn-based test harness. The Unicorn-based test harness loads the target code, sets up the initial state, and loads in data mutated by AFL from disk. The test harness then emulates the target binary code, and if it detects that a crash or error occurred it throws a signal. AFL will do all its normal stuff, but it’s actually fuzzing the emulated target binary code. Only tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but it should work smoothly with any OS capable of running both AFL and Unicorn.

Popular Alternatives

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.

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.

Jazzer

Jazzer is a coverage-guided, in-process fuzzer for the JVM platform developed by Code Intelligence. It is based on libFuzzer and brings many of its instrumentation-powered mutation features to the JVM. You can use Docker to try out Jazzer's autofuzz mode, which automatically generates arguments to a given Java function and reports unexpected exceptions and detected security issues. You can also use GitHub release archives to run a standalone Jazzer binary that starts its own JVM configured for fuzzing.

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.
