SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: "Expanding the Reach of Fuzzing"
DESCRIPTION:Software bugs are pervasive in modern software. As software is integrated into increasingly many aspects of our lives\, these bugs have increasingly severe consequences\, both from a security (e.g. Cloudbleed\, Heartbleed\, Shellshock) and cost standpoint. Fuzzing refers to a set of techniques that automatically find bug-triggering inputs by sending many random-looking inputs to the program under test. In this talk\, I will discuss how\, by identifying core under-generalized components of modern fuzzing algorithms\, and building algorithms that generalize or tune these components\, I have expanded the application domains of fuzzing. First\, by building a general feedback-directed fuzzing algorithm\, I enabled fuzzing to consistently find performance and resource consumption errors. Second\, by developing techniques to maintain structure during mutation\, I brought fuzzing exploration to “deeper” program states. Third\, by decoupling the user-facing abstraction of random input generators from their sampling distributions\, I built faster validity fuzzing and even tackled program synthesis. Finally\, I will discuss the key research problems that must be tackled to make fuzzing readily-available and useful to all developers.
