About 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.

LibFuzzer
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
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.
