Fuzzing Overview: Basics and Real-World Applications
Fuzzing is an increasingly common approach to the automated discovery of security issues in software. It was instrumental in finding and fixing thousands of complex bugs in many widely used packages. In this talk, Ilya will explain the basics of this approach and some of the characteristics and tricks which turn fuzzing into a tool easily to be applied to real-world cases, and discuss our work on fully automated fuzz-testing of embedded software.
