ACTOR: Action-Guided Kernel Fuzzing

Fuzzing reliably and efficiently finds bugs in software, including operating system kernels. In general, higher code coverage leads to the discovery of more bugs. This is why most existing kernel fuzzers adopt strategies to generate a series of inputs that ...

GLeeFuzz: FuzzingWebGL Through Error Message Guided Mutation

Mathias Josef Payer

WebGL is a set of standardized JavaScript APIs for GPU accelerated graphics. Security of the WebGL interface is paramount because it exposes remote and unsandboxed access to the underlying graphics stack (including the native GL libraries and GPU drivers) ...

Arvin: Greybox Fuzzing Using Approximate Dynamic CFG Analysis

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing has emerged as the most broadly used testing technique to discover bugs. Effective fuzzers rely on coverage to prioritize inputs that exercise new program areas. Edge-based code coverage of the Program Under Test (PUT) is the most commonly used cov ...

Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

FuzzGen: Automatic Fuzzer Generation

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing is a testing technique to discover unknown vulnerabilities in software. When applying fuzzing to libraries, the core idea of supplying random input remains unchanged, yet it is non-trivial to achieve good code coverage. Libraries cannot run as stan ...

Discover deeper bugs with dynamic symbolic execution and coverage-based fuzz testing

George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov

Coverage-based fuzz testing and dynamic symbolic execution are both popular program testing techniques. However, on their own, both techniques suffer from scalability problems when considering the complexity of modern software. Hybrid testing methods attem ...

Techniques for Identifying Elusive Corner-Case Bugs in Systems Software

Radu Banabic

Modern software is plagued by elusive corner-case bugs (e.g., security bugs). Because there are no scalable, automated ways of finding them, such bugs can remain hidden until software is deployed in production. This thesis proposes approaches to solve this ...

DeSyRe: On-demand system reliability

Babak Falsafi

The DeSyRe project builds on-demand adaptive and reliable Systems-on-Chips (SoCs). As fabrication technology scales down, chips are becoming less reliable, thereby incurring increased power and performance costs for fault tolerance. To make matters worse, ...

Fast black-box testing of system recovery code

George Candea, Radu Banabic

Fault injection-a key technique for testing the robustness of software systems-ends up rarely being used in practice, because it is labor-intensive and one needs to choose between performing random injections (which leads to poor coverage and low represent ...

Efficient Testing of Recovery Code Using Fault Injection

George Candea

A critical part of developing a reliable software system is testing its recovery code. This code is traditionally difficult to test in the lab, and, in the field, it rarely gets to run; yet, when it does run, it must execute flawlessly in order to recover ...

Studying Application–Library Interaction and Behavior with LibTrac

George Candea

The boundary between programs and libraries is an appealing location for injecting faults during testing: the cost of doing so is low, and one can emulate a wide range of errors. Several tools exist, but using them faces the challenge of deciding exactly w ...

An Extensible Technique for High-Precision Testing of Recovery Code

George Candea, Radu Banabic

Thorough testing of software systems requires ways to productively employ fault injection. We describe a technique for automatically identifying the errors exposed by shared libraries, finding good injection targets in program binaries, and producing corre ...

LFI: A Practical and General Library-Level Fault Injector

George Candea

Fault injection, a critical aspect of testing robust systems, is often overlooked in the development of general-purpose software. We believe this is due to the absence of easy-to-use tools and to the extensive manual labor required to perform fault injecti ...

Protocol composition frameworks and modular group communication : models, algorithms and architectures

Sergio Mena

It is noticeable that our society is increasingly relying on computer systems. Nowadays, computer networks can be found at places where it would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, supporting in some cases critical applications on which human lives ma ...

Autodafé: an Act of Software Torture

Martin Vuagnoux

Automated vulnerability searching tools have led to a dramatic increase of the rate at which such flaws are discovered. One particular searching technique is fault injection i.e. insertion of random data into input files, buffers or protocol packets, combi ...
