Going Beyond Coverage-Guided Fuzzing with Structured Fuzzing

Explore the advanced techniques of structured fuzzing in this Black Hat conference talk. Learn how combining structured and coverage-guided fuzzing has become the cutting-edge approach for automated vulnerability discovery. Discover the advantages of structured fuzzing over traditional coverage-guided methods like AFL and libFuzzer. Gain insights into practical applications, including custom mutators and Protobuf mutators. Understand why structured fuzzing is crucial for effective security research, even in formats with unknown structures. Delve into real-world examples and receive practical advice for implementing these techniques in your own vulnerability discovery efforts.
