When You Have a Fuzzer, Everything Looks Like a Reachability Problem [pdf]
Synthesized Answer
Based on 0 community responses
The paper 'When You Have a Fuzzer, Everything Looks Like a Reachability Problem' likely explores how the availability of fuzzing tools influences the approach to testing and identifying vulnerabilities in software. Fuzzing is a software testing technique used to discover bugs by providing invalid, unexpected, or random data to a computer program. The concept of a 'reachability problem' refers to the challenge of determining whether a particular piece of code can be executed or a certain state can be reached within a program. The paper may argue that with the advent of effective fuzzers, many security and testing issues are framed as reachability problems because fuzzers can efficiently identify vulnerabilities if the problematic code is reachable.
Key Takeaways
Fuzzing is a powerful technique for discovering software vulnerabilities by feeding unexpected inputs to a program.
The availability of effective fuzzing tools shifts the focus towards ensuring that critical code paths are reachable during testing.
Reachability problems become more prominent as fuzzing becomes more prevalent and effective.
