FUZZING Master One of Today’s Most Powerful Techniques for Revealing Security Flaws! Fuzzing has evolved into one of today’s most effective approaches to test software security. To “fuzz,” you attach a program’s inputs to a source of random data, and then systematically identify the failures that arise. Hackers have relied on fuzzing for years: Now, it’s your turn. In this book, renowned fuzzing experts show you how to use fuzzing to reveal weaknesses in your software before someone else does. Fuzzing is the first and only book to cover fuzzing from start to finish, bringing disciplined best practices to a technique that has traditionally been implemented informally. The authors begin by reviewing how fuzzing works and outlining its crucial advantages over other security testing methods. Next, they introduce state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques for finding vulnerabilities in network protocols, file formats, and web applications; demonstrate the use of automated fuzzing tools; and present several insightful case histories showing fuzzing at work. Coverage includes: • Why fuzzing simplifies test design and catches flaws other methods miss • The fuzzing process: from identifying inputs to assessing “exploitability” • Understanding the requirements for effective fuzzing • Comparing mutation-based and generation-based fuzzers • Using and automating environment variable and argument fuzzing • Mastering in-memory fuzzing techniques • Constructing custom fuzzing frameworks and tools • Implementing intelligent fault detection Attackers are already using fuzzing. You should, too. Whether you’re a developer, security engineer, tester, or QA specialist, this book teaches you how to build secure software.

Fuzzing is often described as a “black box software testing technique. It works by automatically feeding a program multiple input iterations in an attempt to trigger an internal error indicative of a bug, and potentially crash it. Such program errors and crashes are indicative of the existence of a security vulnerability, which can later be researched and fixed. Fuzz testing is now making a transition from a hacker-grown tool to a commercial-grade product. There are many different types of applications that can be fuzzed, many different ways they can be fuzzed, and a variety of different problems that can be uncovered. There are also problems that arise during fuzzing; when is enough enough? These issues and many others are fully explored. Fuzzing is a fast-growing field with increasing commercial interest (7 vendors unveiled fuzzing products last year). Vendors today are looking for solutions to the ever increasing threat of vulnerabilities. Fuzzing looks for these vulnerabilities automatically, before they are known, and eliminates them before release. Software developers face an increasing demand to produce secure applications---and they are looking for any information to help them do that.

Fuzz testing (fuzzing), a technique for automatically finding exploitable bugs in programs, has seen increased popularity in the security community. While fuzzing techniques can efficiently discover new program behavior, modern fuzzing techniques are largely limited to the analysis of programs with source code available. We investigate the application of state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques to binary programs without source code, using static binary rewriting to modify the programs without recompiling them. Our tool, ReFuzz, allows off-the-shelf binaries to be analyzed using fuzzing techniques that were previously limited to source code. We evaluate our tool against source-available and binary-level fuzzers, and find that ReFuzz can discover similar and, in some cases, more bugs than a recently-published source-level fuzzer. Our work demonstrates the value of binary analysis techniques for fuzzing, and realizes a tool that will allow the security community to meaningfully analyze more software.

Fuzzing is an increasingly popular technique for testing software functionality and identifying security weaknesses. Recent research has primarily focused on improving the effectiveness and efficiency of fuzzing. To make fuzzing more effective, researchers apply different methods, such as diverse initial seeds, varied mutation strategies, and different feedback to help produce better test cases. To make fuzzing more efficient, many research projects design specialized operating systems or parallel fuzzers to speed up the fuzzing process and accelerate bug detection. However, there are still some limitations in current fuzzing approaches. Firstly, most existing approaches, mutation-based and generation-based, have problems in exploring program states for software that requires structural input, especially when considering syntax and semantics. Mutation-based fuzzers lack an understanding of the test case format, often resulting in broken test cases and wasted time. Generation-based ones do not utilize feedback, such as code coverage, to guide the program state exploration, leading to repetitive testing of the same part of the code. Secondly, while parallel fuzzing is widely adopted to speed up bug detection, existing parallel approaches are built on top of synchronous serial fuzzers and rely on periodic synchronization to enable collaboration among multiple instances. The serial design of the fuzzer might waste CPU power due to blocking I/O operations. Additionally, the synchronization of fuzzing states between multiple instances presents a challenge, as untimely synchronization can result in suboptimal strategies while synchronizing too frequently creates excessive overhead. To address the first limitation, we turn our attention to language processors, such as compilers and interpreters, as they require inputs following specific syntactic and semantic rules. To effectively fuzz language processors, we are required to not only generate high-quality test cases for them, but also find a unified way to handle the different features, such as syntax and semantics, in multiple languages. As our first step, we focus on Database Management Systems (DBMSs) since they take a domain-specific language, Structure Query Language (SQL), as input. Empirical study shows that the syntactic and semantic accuracy of test cases is crucial for detecting bugs in DBMSs, especially those hidden within complex logic. Therefore, we design a fuzzing framework called Squirrel that uses a lightweight IR to generate syntactically correct SQL test cases and utilizes an instantiator to validate the test cases for DBMSs. By conducting experiments with real-world DBMSs, the results demonstrate that Squirrel not only produces accurate test cases but also has the ability to detect bugs in deep logic. Then, we generalize our approaches used for DBMS fuzzing and build a generic language processor fuzzing framework called PolyGlot. Our framework takes the specification of a language as input and casts it to IR's specification. Test cases are then transformed into IR statements, removing any language differences, followed by mutations and validations. Evaluation of PolyGlot shows that it can generate high-quality inputs to test various language processors and effectively detect bugs. To address the second limitation, we investigate the current parallel fuzzing architecture and introduce [mu]Fuzz, a microservice-based fuzzing framework. [mu]Fuzz breaks the serial fuzzing loops into concurrent services, each with multiple workers, making more efficient use of CPU power. Besides, [mu]Fuzz eliminates the synchronization of fuzzing states by partitioning the states across different services, allowing for optimal global decision-making. Our research focuses on enhancing the current fuzzing approaches in both effectiveness and efficiency. We design Squirrel and PolyGlot to improve fuzzing effectiveness by producing high-quality test cases that require structural formats. Moreover, we introduce [mu]Fuzz as the first attempt to improve fuzzing efficiency through the implementation of microservice architecture. More importantly, we have found 239 newly identified bugs and got 30 CVEs assigned, demonstrating the practicality of our methods in testing real-world software.

Secure software, meaning software free from vulnerabilities, is desirable in today's marketplace. Consumers are beginning to value a product's security posture as well as its functionality. Software development companies are recognizing this trend, and they are factoring security into their entire software development lifecycle. Secure development practices like threat modeling, static analysis, safe programming libraries, run-time protections, and software verification are being mandated during product development. Mandating these practices improves a product's security posture before customer delivery, and these practices increase the difficulty of discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities. Since the 1980's, security researchers have uncovered software defects by fuzz testing an application. In fuzz testing's infancy, randomly generated data could discover multiple defects quickly. However, as software matures and software development companies integrate secure development practices into their development life cycles, fuzzers must apply more sophisticated techniques in order to retain their ability to uncover defects. Fuzz testing must evolve, and fuzz testing practitioners must devise new algorithms to exercise an application in unexpected ways. This dissertation's objective is to create a proof-of-concept genetic algorithm fuzz testing framework to exercise an application's file format parsing routines. The framework includes multiple genetic algorithm variations, provides a configuration scheme, and correlates data gathered from static and dynamic analysis to guide negative test case evolution. Experiments conducted for this dissertation illustrate the effectiveness of a genetic algorithm fuzzer in comparison to standard fuzz testing tools. The experiments showcase a genetic algorithm fuzzer's ability to discover multiple unique defects within a limited number of negative test cases. These experiments also highlight an application's increased execution time when fuzzing with a genetic algorithm. To combat increased execution time, a distributed architecture is implemented and additional experiments demonstrate a decrease in execution time comparable to standard fuzz testing tools. A final set of experiments provide guidance on fitness function selection with a CHC genetic algorithm fuzzer with different population size configurations.

As networked computing devices have been widely used in recent years, this pervasive trend accelerates the development of new networked applications for mobile devices and corresponding applications for service servers. Simultaneously, the vulnerability issues for such applications have become more salient in the software security community. Networked applications, in which a large portion of their code execution depends on the network messages that they received, are the common cause of software vulnerabilities, since they are susceptible to attack via Internet. Consequently, it is essential to ensure the absence of exploitable vulnerabilities prior to the release of these applications. Fuzzing is the automated software testing technique that involves the generation of unexpected or random data to input for target applications. In its nature, fuzzing requires a long time taken to generate a variety of input data, and tends to miss exercising branch target blocks where networked applications commonly have vulnerable code segments. This is because most randomly generated input data does not meet the multiple conditionals in the codes. In this context, we propose an effective fuzz testing approach, which applies static analysis of the target source code to generate fuzzing constraints for the rapid exposure of the vulnerabilities. Specifically, our approach depends on range analysis algorithms among static analysis techniques to extract fuzzing constraints specific to target programs. This automated approach reduces both intricate calculations for solving constraints, and the time cost taken to test target programs. We perform the experiments against two target applications by using the new fuzzer design based on the Modified Range Analysis pass. The empirical results show that our approach can be generalized to other applications, and it reduces time cost during the fuzzing process.
