Roving

A Go Thing for running many AFL's.

Server

The serve expects to be run in a directory with a few members:

target

The binary to be fuzzed

input

The directory with the input corpus in it

Once up, it will create a directory called output which should look familiar to anyone used to using afl. It will aggregate crashes and hangs in that directory.

Usage

• export AFL with the path to afl, or make sure afl-fuzz is on PATH

• Create a target

• Populate a directory called input with a corpus

• make

• ./server/server /path/to/dir/with-target-and-input

On each of your clients

• ./client/client name-of.server.com:port

• Do this once for each core

• find crashes and hangs in work-server

In theory that's it!

This is super lightly tested, YMMV, patches/bug reports accepted, etc.

Why Roving?

I asked some of my coworkers what they'd name a distributed fuzzy thing.

Evidently roving is extremely fuzzy, and winds up everywhere when you're working with it. Plus the testcases go roving and it's all very poetic.
