Fuzz-testing Dogecoin Core
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
A special test harness `test_dogecoin_fuzzy` is provided to provide an easy
|
|
entry point for fuzzers and the like. In this document we'll describe how to
|
|
use it with AFL.
|
|
|
|
Building AFL
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to always use the latest version of afl:
|
|
```
|
|
wget http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/releases/afl-latest.tgz
|
|
tar -zxvf afl-latest.tgz
|
|
cd afl-<version>
|
|
make
|
|
export AFLPATH=$PWD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instrumentation
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To build Dogecoin Core using AFL instrumentation (this assumes that the
|
|
`AFLPATH` was set as above):
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --disable-shared --enable-tests CC=${AFLPATH}/afl-gcc CXX=${AFLPATH}/afl-g++
|
|
export AFL_HARDEN=1
|
|
cd src/
|
|
make test/test_dogecoin_fuzzy
|
|
```
|
|
We disable ccache because we don't want to pollute the ccache with instrumented
|
|
objects, and similarly don't want to use non-instrumented cached objects linked
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
Preparing fuzzing
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
AFL needs an input directory with examples, and an output directory where it
|
|
will place examples that it found. These can be anywhere in the file system,
|
|
we'll define environment variables to make it easy to reference them.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir inputs
|
|
AFLIN=$PWD/inputs
|
|
mkdir outputs
|
|
AFLOUT=$PWD/outputs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example inputs for Bitcoin Core are available from:
|
|
|
|
- https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/bitcoin_fuzzy_in.tar.xz
|
|
- http://strateman.ninja/fuzzing.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
Extract these (or other starting inputs) into the `inputs` directory before starting fuzzing. These will need adapting to Dogecoin before use.
|
|
|
|
Fuzzing
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To start the actual fuzzing use:
|
|
```
|
|
$AFLPATH/afl-fuzz -i ${AFLIN} -o ${AFLOUT} -m52 -- test/test_bitcoin_fuzzy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may have to change a few kernel parameters to test optimally - `afl-fuzz`
|
|
will print an error and suggestion if so.
