A gentle introduction to Linux Kernel fuzzing
Jul 10, 2019Marek Majkowski

Summary
This post introduces the application of coverage-guided fuzzing, specifically using AFL and KCOV, to the Linux Kernel's netlink machinery. It details how to set up and run this process within a KVM virtualization environment, demonstrating a novel approach to uncovering bugs in low-level kernel components. This contributes to the broader theme of data infrastructure by showcasing advanced techniques for ensuring the robustness and security of the underlying operating system components that Cloudflare relies upon.
