FishFuzz is an input prioritization strategy that efficiently direct fuzzing towards the promising sanitizer targets. We implement the FishFuzz prototype based on AFL and AFL++.

}FishFuzz is accepted in USENIX Security Symposium 2023 and will occur with the paper accepted in Winter cycle.
TuneFuzz is accepted in SBFT24@Fuzzing Workshop and rank 2nd place in final competition.
To address the compatibility issues with FuzzBench, we implement a new extension TuneFuzz based on FF_AFL++. We submit TuneFuzz to SBFT24@Fuzzing competition and won 2nd place. The source is available at tunefuzz_sbft24 branch, and the configuration can be found at https://github.com/HexHive/fuzzbench-TuneFuzz.

We attach the raw data of the evaluation in paper folder as promised, and we'll dockerize some of the evaluation process to allow the researchers to easily reproduce our evaluation results. Please follow the guide in paper/artifact/README.md. The bug triaging script only do simple deduplication
based on call stack, and might require more manual efforts.
We provide a dockerfile for both FF_AFL and FF_AFL++, which can be found in FF_AFL(++)/docker/Dockerfile
The simplest way is using the wrapper ff-all-in-one, point CC/CXX to ff-all-in-one/++, set CFLAGS with ASan or UBSan, then set FF_DRIVER_NAME with the programs you want to fuzz (e.g. for libxml2, we want to fuzz xmllint and you should set FF_DRIVER_NAME as xmllint but not libxml2 ) then just follow the origin process.
The ff-all-in-one can be roughly devided into several steps:
- compile the programs with lto mode (and generated temporary bitcode file)
- run the pass with
conlyoption on this bitcode, which instrument the bitcode with coverage - run the pass with
aonlyoption, which will output temporary file in TEMP_DIR and modify the basic block name - calculate the distance for both cfg and cg
- instrument the function and sanitizer location based on log file produced in step 3), generate the binary to fuzz
run the afl-fuzz with additional environment variable TMP_DIR (generated in step 3)), which provide static distance map and sanitized function list.

FishFuzz prune the numbers of seeds selected, hence its' recommended to enable deterministic stage in default. In our evaluation we enable all fuzzers' deterministic stage.
Q: Could FishFuzz work with targets other than Sanitizer?
A: Yes, you can modify the pass to change the definition of "target". Currently we only tested ASan and UBSan. For other targets, you might need to fine-tune the hyperparameter to achieve better results.
Q: what if some cfg calculation failed?
A: It's fine. some cxx function name are too long and therefore the cfg calculation might fail, but it would not harm. It's on our todo list. But if cg calculation failed, the compilation process will be broken.
Q: Is there any differences between manual compile and ff-all-in-one script?
A: Yes. ff-all-in-one is eqvelant to merge all the flags in $CC, while manual compile you can sperate $CC and $CFLAGS. In theory they should be same, but in some programs we observe that manual compile produce up to 4x functions (e.g. infotocap). We plan to study their differences and the reasons later. BTW, all our evaluations are conducted with manual compilation. But both of them are usable.
Q: What is ASAN_LIBS & EXTRA_LDFLAGS?
A: ASAN_LIBS is the asan static library, which is eqvelant to -lasan. EXTRA_LDFLAGS is the linking flags used during generating final targets. (i.e., the system library required by $FF_DRIVER_NAME but not drop-in by the project)
Q: Are all the files in TMP_DIR used?
A: No, most of which are redundant, will remove them later.
Q: Any plans for more benchmark intergration?
A: For vanilla FishFuzz, no. For TuneFuzz, yes! We have a tested FuzzBench intergration that is available at https://github.com/HexHive/fuzzbench-TuneFuzz.
