github.com/wh1t3h47\n\n\nFuzz pidgin via dbus by using AFL++ instrumentation (clang)\n\nThis project was just a test to see if I could handle AFL++ and had enough knowledge to fuzz the Pidgin messenger, it's by no means a complete approach, but still a successful one.\n\nI coded this in about a day and got AFL++ running with 8 threads, it fuzzed for about 8 hours (my computer couldn't handle anymore and was forcefully shut down, not even sysrq would work)\n\nIt took me about 180 lines of C code and 100 more of shell, I used argv fuzzer to mutate dbus data and wrote a small wrapper to forward dbus messages from argv.\n\n## Warning\n\u003e The fuzzing proccess is very resource intensive, ASAN is very memory hungry (afl even recommends limiting it), so this can halt your machine, please save all your work and **be aware** that your machine may lag\n\n\n## Building\n```bash\n./build_pidgin.sh\n```\n\n## Fuzzing\n```bash\nsleep 3 \u0026\u0026 ./afl_start.sh\n```\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwh1t3h47%2Fafl_pidgin","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwh1t3h47%2Fafl_pidgin","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwh1t3h47%2Fafl_pidgin/lists"}
