Orthrus is a tool for managing, conducting, and assessing dictionary-based security (fuzz) testing for autotools projects. At the moment, it supports Clang/LLVM instrumentation and the AFL ecosystem (afl-fuzz, afl-utils, afl-cov). The ultimate aim is for Orthrus to be a generic wrapper around state-of-the-art fuzz and instrumentation tools on the one hand, and disparate build systems on the other.

NEW: The dictionary-based fuzzing feature is new. Do orthrus create -dict to generate a fuzzing dictionary and orthrus add --jobconf to specify fuzz options (e.g., -x dict) for making use of the generated dictionary for fuzzing.

Please read docs/Getting_started.md.

Orthrus currently supports two workflows. In a routine workflow, you work with a single fuzzing job end-to-end i.e., from source code instrumentation, until crash triage. In a A/B test workflow, you work with a single A/B test end-to-end.

Please read docs/Workflow.md.

  • Attaching logs from .orthrus/logs would be helpful
• PRs for interesting workflows are much appreciated!

Orthrus was possible due to excellent work by

• lcamtuf (afl-fuzz)
• rc0r (afl-utils)
• Michael Rash (afl-cov)
• Clang/LLVM sanitization projects
• Folks at afl users community and beyond
