What is afl-unicorn?

AFL-Unicorn enables the fuzzing of any binary that can be emulated with the Unicorn Engine, providing the ability to focus on specific code segments during testing. As long as the desired code can be emulated using the Unicorn Engine, AFL-Unicorn can be utilized effectively for fuzzing tasks. The Unicorn Mode features block-edge instrumentation akin to AFL's QEMU mode, allowing AFL to collect block coverage data from the emulated code segments, which is essential for its input generation process. This functionality is contingent upon the meticulous configuration of a Unicorn-based test harness, which plays a crucial role in loading the intended code, setting up the initial state, and integrating data altered by AFL from its storage. Once these parameters are established, the test harness simulates the target binary code, and upon detecting a crash or error, it sends a signal to indicate the problem. Although this framework has been primarily validated on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it is built to work seamlessly with any operating system that can support both AFL and Unicorn. By utilizing this framework, developers can significantly enhance their fuzzing strategies and streamline their binary analysis processes, leading to more effective vulnerability detection and software reliability improvements. This broader compatibility opens up new opportunities for developers to adopt advanced fuzzing techniques across various platforms.
