Enable the `afl-clang-fast++` features deferred forkserver (`__AFL_INIT`) and persistent mode (`__AFL_LOOP(1000)`).
Before this patch:
```
$ afl-fuzz -i input -o output -m512 -- src/test/test_bitcoin_fuzzy
[*] Validating target binary...
[!] WARNING: The target binary is pretty slow! See /usr/local/share/doc/afl/perf_tips.txt.
[+] Here are some useful stats:
Test case count : 1 favored, 0 variable, 1 total
Bitmap range : 1072 to 1072 bits (average: 1072.00 bits)

Fuzz-testing Bitcoin Core
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
A special test harness `test_bitcoin_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=$PWD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instrumentation
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To build Bitcoin Core using AFL instrumentation (this assumes that the
|
|
`AFLPATH` was set as above):
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --disable-shared --enable-tests CC=${AFLPATH}/afl-gcc CXX=${AFLPATH}/afl-g++
|
|
export AFL_HARDEN=1
|
|
cd src/
|
|
make test/test_bitcoin_fuzzy
|
|
```
|
|
We disable ccache because we don't want to pollute the ccache with instrumented
|
|
objects, and similarly don't want to use non-instrumented cached objects linked
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
The fuzzing can be sped up significantly (~200x) by using `afl-clang-fast` and
|
|
`afl-clang-fast++` in place of `afl-gcc` and `afl-g++` when compiling. When
|
|
compiling using `afl-clang-fast`/`afl-clang-fast++` the resulting
|
|
`test_bitcoin_fuzzy` binary will be instrumented in such a way that the AFL
|
|
features "persistent mode" and "deferred forkserver" can be used. See
|
|
https://github.com/mcarpenter/afl/tree/master/llvm_mode for details.
|
|
|
|
Preparing fuzzing
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
AFL needs an input directory with examples, and an output directory where it
|
|
will place examples that it found. These can be anywhere in the file system,
|
|
we'll define environment variables to make it easy to reference them.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir inputs
|
|
AFLIN=$PWD/inputs
|
|
mkdir outputs
|
|
AFLOUT=$PWD/outputs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example inputs 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
