  1. There is afl-rs https://github.com/rust-fuzz/afl.rs also we're working on a fuzzing library that's completely written in rust right now, stay tuned :)

  2. …you do have a point in that sanitizers are very useful for unsafe Rust code. There's AFL for Rust: https://github.com/rust-fuzz/afl.rs [Edit:] With regard to theorem provers, my understanding is that you typically work in some sort of…

  3. …some interesting bugs, I think Rust would be a great addition to Fuzzbuzz. It's on our roadmap. [1] https://github.com/rust-fuzz/afl.rs

  5. It does look like the afl.rs project (afl for rust code) has been run on regex: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs#trophy-case Which resulted in just one issue? I'm not sure how long they fuzzed or what the methodology was, but this was…

  6. …disappear if it panics (by default). But to detect panics, you can use `afl.rs` to fuzz a parser: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs#user-content-trophy-case

  7. …understanding maps to Rust? Is the instrumentation path pretty uniform for LLVM based binaries? [1] https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs

  8. …IIRC it didn't find any memory safety issues, but it definitely exposed a few panic crashes: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs (discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11936983 ) I don't think they mentioned fuzzing their Brotli…

  9. …everytime fuzzing is desired, one could just do `cargo fuzz`. Relevant issues and a pull request: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/issues/24 https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/issues/31 https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/pull/46 There's…

  10. …plugin to register the LLVM pass needed to instrument Rust programs so that AFL can run on them: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/blob/master/afl-plugin/li... Compiler plugins in Rust are currently unstable, and as far as I know, are not…

  11. Nice! It’s already proven to be useful: https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs#trophy-case
