Congratulations to Roberto Natella, the DSN-2022 Rising star in dependability award winner

Congrats #Dr. @PietroLiguori7 on your Phd!!!

From PCAPs to automated stateful greybox #fuzzing with StateAFL - I just shared a recorded tutorial as GIF, see github.com/stateafl/state…

A new version of StateAFL (greybox #fuzzer for stateful network protocols) is now available, with much improved usability! It can perform #fuzzing starting from PCAPs, and developers do not need to implement protocol-specific message parsers. github.com/stateafl/state…

The call for papers - Research track - for IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering 2022 is here! issre2022.github.io/calls_cfp-rese… #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareTesting #SoftwareReliability #CyberSecurity

We updated the ProFuzzBench #fuzzing #benchmark with support for AddressSanitizer (ASAN), for all the included targets and fuzzers (AFLnet, StateAFL). Let us know if you experience any issue! @thuanpv_

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the 1st Edition of Unix.... It was targeted at the PDP-11/20 with 8kW of memory (16,384 bytes)....

Today @PietroLiguori7 will present at @ISSREConf our journal-first @JSSoftware paper on analyzing #OpenStack failure data using deep embedded clustering, see you (virtually) there! Link to paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.…

@thuanpv_ This project also led to a major update of the #ProFuzzBench fuzzing benchmark, with several bug-fixes, more determinism, and quicker builds. github.com/profuzzbench/p…

I am happy to share a new #fuzzer for stateful network servers (StateAFL). It uses compile-time instrumentation and fuzzy hashing to infer protocol states from target process memory. Links: github.com/stateafl/state… arxiv.org/abs/2110.06253 Thanks @thuanpv_ for your support!

@thuanpv_ have you considered sulley/boofuzz/derivatives?

Last year GitLab acquired Peach Tech and now their great tutorial of Peach pits writing is gone. The tutorial was available at community.peachfuzzer.com/v3/PeachQuickS… :(. Now I need to find another source or write a tutorial myself, which would take substantial time, and share with students.

The preprint of our @ISSREConf '21 paper (EVIL) is online! It is about using Neural Machine Translation to turn natural language into exploits in Python+Assembly Great work @PietroLiguori7 ! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2109.00279 GitHub: github.com/dessertlab/EVIL
