Sienna Locomotive is a fuzzing and crash triage platform that aims to make fuzzing accessible to developers with limited security expertise. Its user-oriented features make it easy to configure, easy to run, and easy to interpret the results. For more information, see our blog post.

• Target individual function calls for fuzzing instead of entire files
• Automatically triage and deduplicate crashes
• One-button reporting of code coverage and performance stats
• Fully configurable from a GUI
• Supports 64-bit Windows binaries, even without source code

Watch this demo video.

Check out the user manual.

IMPORTANT: Sienna Locomotive makes changes to the system it runs on in order to facilitate its instrumentation. It may require you to disable Windows Error Reporting as it interferes with the triage process. For these reasons, Sienna Locomotive will run best when installed on its own machine (including virtual machines).

Pre-built binaries are available on the releases page. To install from a pre-built binary, extract the zip file, then right-click on install.ps1 and click "Run with Powershell"

To build Sienna Locomotive for yourself, continue reading.

First, clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/trailofbits/sienna-locomotive.git (or download a zip)

Building SL requires the following:

• Supported Windows 10 Build
  • Windows 1803 is known to work
  • Earlier versions of Windows 10 will probably work
  • 1809 support is pending
• CMake
• Visual Studio 2017 (Install components for Windows Console dev)
• DynamoRIO (Automatically installed with make.ps1)
• Python (3.7+)

Compilation, deployment, and cleanup is done via make.ps1 in Sienna Locomotive's root directory.

To install DynamoRIO and build the project:

PS C:\proj\sl2\sienna-locomotive> .\make.ps1

If any part of the build complains about missing tools or libraries, try running under the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.

To clean the project of build artifacts, run .\make.ps1 clean.

Try make.ps1 help for more options and information.

SL's internals are documented using Doxygen.

If you want to build the doxygen documents.

1. Install doxygen from http://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.8.14-setup.exe
2. ./make.ps1 doc
3. Open doc/html/index.html in your browser

Running sl2 will start the Qt frontend for the fuzzer.

This frontend is the default user interface, and should suffice for most use cases.

For more advanced users, sl2-cli can be used to configure and run each SL component individually.

sl2-cli -h will print out a listing of all available options.

The triage system is a separate executable, triager.exe that is run by the harness. It takes care of ranking exploitability, uniqueness, and binning of crashes.

Read the winchecksec README.

The Exploitability ranking is a score for the potential ability to exploit a crash based on 3 engines. The ranks, ranging from High (4) to None (0), in order of likelyhood are:

• High (4): The mostly likely case of a crash being exploitable.
• Medium (3): Between High and Low.
• Low (2): At or above the cutoff for low exploitability.
• Unknown (1): Unknown cases are below the cutoff for low, but still have the potential to be of interest.
• None (0): Very unlikely the crash is exploitable.

• Google's Breakpad: This engine uses Google's Breakpad library, which parses minidump files and return an exploitability between High and None as well.
• Microsoft's !exploitable: A reimplementation and approxmiation of the !exploitable command for windbg, built on top of breakpad.
• SL Tracer: Uses the score from our own SL tracer, which takes taint information into consideration.
