Random Testing Framework

https://badge.fury.io/py/fuzzinator.svg https://travis-ci.org/renatahodovan/fuzzinator.svg?branch=master https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/mhdvgk65p0r7fkxr/branch/master?svg=true https://readthedocs.org/projects/fuzzinator/badge/?version=latest

Fuzzinator is a fuzzing framework that helps you to automate tasks usually needed during a fuzz session:

  • run your favorite test generator and feed the test cases to the system-under-test,

  • catch and save the unique issues,

  • reduce the failing test cases,

  • ease the reporting of issues in bug trackers (e.g., Bugzilla or GitHub),

  • regularly update SUTs if needed, and

  • schedule multiple SUTs and generators without overloading your workstation.

All the above features are fully customizable either by writing a simple config file or by implementing Python snippets to cover special needs. Check out some slides about Fuzzinator for a general overview, or see the Tutorial for a detailed walk-through on the config files.

To help tracking the progress of the fuzzing, Fuzzinator provides two interfaces:

  • an interactive TUI (supported on Linux and Mac OS X) that gives a continuously updated overview about the currently running tasks, statistics about the efficacy of the test generators, and the found issues (and also supports reporting them); and

  • a dump-mode (supported on every platform) that displays the news on line-based consoles.

Although Fuzzinator itself doesn’t come with test generators (except for an example random character sequence generator), you can find a list of useful generators in the wiki.

Requirements

  • Python >= 3.4

  • pip and setuptools Python packages (the latter is automatically installed by pip)

  • MongoDB (either local installation or access to remote database)

Install

The quick way:

pip install fuzzinator

Alternatively, by cloning the project and running setuptools:

python setup.py install

Usage

A common form of Fuzzinator’s usage:

fuzzinator --tui -U <path/to/the/config.ini>

Compatibility

Fuzzinator was tested on:

  • Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.10 / 16.04)

  • Mac OS X (OS X El Capitan - 10.11).

Acknowledgements

The authors are immensely grateful to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz for the continuous inspiration.
