Designing and building techniques for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of fuzzing (automated random testing at scale) of parser and compiler libraries, image processors, and other important software tools that are used in billions of devices world-wide. By leveraging modern fuzzers like Google’s AFL, we aim to improve vulnerability detection and triaging. We carried out the following works under this project:
