What is syzkaller?

Syzkaller is an unsupervised, coverage-guided fuzzer designed to uncover vulnerabilities in kernel environments, and it supports multiple operating systems including FreeBSD, Fuchsia, gVisor, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows. Initially created to focus on fuzzing the Linux kernel, its functionality has broadened to support a wider array of operating systems over time. When a kernel crash occurs in one of the virtual machines, syzkaller quickly begins the process of reproducing that crash. By default, it utilizes four virtual machines to carry out this reproduction and then strives to minimize the program that triggered the crash. During this reproduction phase, fuzzing activities may be temporarily suspended, as all virtual machines could be consumed with reproducing the detected issues. The time required to reproduce a single crash can fluctuate greatly, ranging from just a few minutes to possibly an hour, based on the intricacy and reproducibility of the crash scenario. This capability to minimize and evaluate crashes significantly boosts the overall efficiency of the fuzzing process, leading to improved detection of kernel vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the insights gained from this analysis contribute to refining the fuzzing strategies employed by syzkaller in future iterations.

What is go-fuzz?

Go-fuzz is a specialized fuzzing tool that utilizes coverage guidance to effectively test Go packages, making it particularly adept at handling complex inputs, whether they are textual or binary. This type of testing is essential for fortifying systems that must manage data from potentially unsafe sources, such as those arising from network interactions. Recently, go-fuzz has rolled out preliminary support for fuzzing Go Modules, encouraging users to report any issues they experience along with comprehensive details. The tool creates random input data, which is frequently invalid, and if a function returns a value of 1, it prompts the fuzzer to prioritize that input for subsequent tests, though it should not be included in the corpus, even if it reveals new coverage; conversely, a return value of 0 indicates the opposite, while other return values are earmarked for future improvements. It is necessary for the fuzz function to be placed within a package recognized by go-fuzz, thus excluding the main package from testing but allowing for the fuzzing of internal packages. This organized methodology not only streamlines the testing process but also enhances the focus on discovering vulnerabilities within the code, ultimately leading to more robust software solutions. By continuously refining its support and encouraging community feedback, go-fuzz aims to evolve and adapt to the needs of developers.
