Packages and Binaries:
afl++
American fuzzy lop is a fuzzer that employs compile-time instrumentation and genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting test cases that trigger new internal states in the targeted binary. This substantially improves the functional coverage for the fuzzed code. The compact synthesized corpora produced by the tool are also useful for seeding other, more labor- or resource-intensive testing regimes down the road.
afl++-fuzz is designed to be practical: it has modest performance overhead, uses a variety of highly effective fuzzing strategies, requires essentially no configuration, and seamlessly handles complex, real-world use cases - say, common image parsing or file compression libraries.
afl++ is a fork of the unmaintained afl.

-fstack-protector Enable stack protectors for some functions vulnerable to stack smashing. This uses a loose heuristic which considers functions vulnerable if they contain a char (or 8bit integer) array or constant sized calls to alloca , which are of greater size than ssp-buffer-size (default: 8 bytes). All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit. The guard value must be positioned in the stack frame such that a buffer overflow from a vulnerable variable will overwrite the guard value before overwriting the function's return address. The reference stack guard value is stored in a global variable.

All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit.

-fstack-protector Enable stack protectors for some functions vulnerable to stack smashing. This uses a loose heuristic which considers functions vulnerable if they contain a char (or 8bit integer) array or constant sized calls to alloca , which are of greater size than ssp-buffer-size (default: 8 bytes). All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit. The guard value must be positioned in the stack frame such that a buffer overflow from a vulnerable variable will overwrite the guard value before overwriting the function's return address. The reference stack guard value is stored in a global variable.

All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit.

All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit.

This uses a loose heuristic which considers functions vulnerable if they contain a char (or 8bit integer) array or constant sized calls to alloca , which are of greater size than ssp-buffer-size (default: 8 bytes). All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit. The guard value must be positioned in the stack frame such that a buffer overflow from a vulnerable variable will overwrite the guard value before overwriting the function's return address. The reference stack guard value is stored in a global variable.

All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit.

afl-fuzz++4.21c based on afl by Michal Zalewski and a large online community
afl-fuzz [ options ] -- /path/to/fuzzed_app [ ... ]
Required parameters:
-i dir - input directory with test cases (or '-' to resume, also see
AFL_AUTORESUME)
-o dir - output directory for fuzzer findings
Execution control settings:
-P strategy - set fix mutation strategy: explore (focus on new coverage),
exploit (focus on triggering crashes). You can also set a
number of seconds after without any finds it switches to
exploit mode, and back on new coverage (default: 1000)
-p schedule - power schedules compute a seed's performance score:
explore(default), fast, exploit, seek, rare, mmopt, coe, lin
quad -- see docs/FAQ.md for more information
-f file - location read by the fuzzed program (default: stdin or @@)
-t msec - timeout for each run (auto-scaled, default 1000 ms). Add a '+'
to auto-calculate the timeout, the value being the maximum.
-m megs - memory limit for child process (0 MB, 0 = no limit [default])
-O - use binary-only instrumentation (FRIDA mode)
-Q - use binary-only instrumentation (QEMU mode)
-U - use unicorn-based instrumentation (Unicorn mode)
-W - use qemu-based instrumentation with Wine (Wine mode)
-X - use VM fuzzing (NYX mode - standalone mode)
-Y - use VM fuzzing (NYX mode - multiple instances mode)
Mutator settings:

-g minlength - set min length of generated fuzz input (default: 1)
-G maxlength - set max length of generated fuzz input (default: 1048576)
-L minutes - use MOpt(imize) mode and set the time limit for entering the
pacemaker mode (minutes of no new finds). 0 = immediately,
-1 = immediately and together with normal mutation.
Note: this option is usually not very effective
-c program - enable CmpLog by specifying a binary compiled for it.
if using QEMU/FRIDA or the fuzzing target is compiled
for CmpLog then use '-c 0'. To disable Cmplog use '-c -'.
-l cmplog_opts - CmpLog configuration values (e.g. "2ATR"):
1=small files, 2=larger files (default), 3=all files,
A=arithmetic solving, T=transformational solving,
X=extreme transform solving, R=random colorization bytes.
Fuzzing behavior settings:
-Z - sequential queue selection instead of weighted random
-N - do not unlink the fuzzing input file (for devices etc.)
-n - fuzz without instrumentation (non-instrumented mode)
-x dict_file - fuzzer dictionary (see README.md, specify up to 4 times)
Test settings:
-s seed - use a fixed seed for the RNG
-V seconds - fuzz for a specified time then terminate (fuzz time only!)
-E execs - fuzz for an approx. no. of total executions then terminate
Note: not precise and can have several more executions.
Other stuff:
-M/-S id - distributed mode (-M sets -Z and disables trimming)
see docs/fuzzing_in_depth.md#c-using-multiple-cores
for effective recommendations for parallel fuzzing.
-F path - sync to a foreign fuzzer queue directory (requires -M, can
be specified up to 32 times)
-z - skip the enhanced deterministic fuzzing
(note that the old -d and -D flags are ignored.)
-T text - text banner to show on the screen
-I command - execute this command/script when a new crash is found
-C - crash exploration mode (the peruvian rabbit thing)
-b cpu_id - bind the fuzzing process to the specified CPU core (0-...)
-e ext - file extension for the fuzz test input file (if needed)
To view also the supported environment variables of afl-fuzz please use "-hh".

Enable stack protectors for some functions vulnerable to stack smashing. Compared to -fstack-protector, this uses a stronger heuristic that includes functions containing arrays of any size (and any type), as well as any calls to alloca or the taking of an address from a local variable
-fstack-protector Enable stack protectors for some functions vulnerable to stack smashing. This uses a loose heuristic which considers functions vulnerable if they contain a char (or 8bit integer) array or constant sized calls to alloca , which are of greater size than ssp-buffer-size (default: 8 bytes). All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit. The guard value must be positioned in the stack frame such that a buffer overflow from a vulnerable variable will overwrite the guard value before overwriting the function's return address. The reference stack guard value is stored in a global variable.
