American fuzzy lop is a program for Fuzzing. It is very sophisticated and can be instrumented with a binary to do very targeted fuzzing.

Installing

Get the latest version, and run make to make it:

$ wget http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/releases/afl-latest.tgz 
$ tar -xvf afl-latest.tgz cd afl-latest.tgz
$ cd afl-*
$ make 
$ make install

Success!

root@morpheus:~/codes/afl-2.10b# which afl-fuzz
/usr/local/bin/afl-fuzz

Fuzzing a Program

Programs that can be fuzzed are those that take input files, usually binary files or unusual formats. (Think mp3, multimedia, images, etc.)

wget http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-2.1.6.tar.gz 
tar -xvf libressl-2.1.6.tar.gz cd libressl-2.1.6/ 
CC=~/afl/afl-1.57b/afl-gcc ./configure 
make check 
mkdir /root/testing 
export DESTDIR=/root/testing/ 
make install
