Show HN: Hopper a Distributed Fuzzer

4 pointsby Cybergenikover 2 years ago
I&#x27;ve been getting really into Distributed Fuzzers recently. And I&#x27;ve noticed, very few papers have been written about truly Distributed Fuzzers, it&#x27;s still quite an emergent field.<p>Less than 6 months ago, Google Open Sourced its internal Distributed Fuzzer called Centipede. It&#x27;s written in C++: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;centipede">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;centipede</a><p>And it seems like the libfuzzer team is moving on to Centipede: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;llvm.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;LibFuzzer.html#status" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;llvm.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;LibFuzzer.html#status</a><p>However, I think the future of distributed fuzzers will be in Rust of Golang. This last September, after realizing the scaling limitations of AFL and libfuzzer. I began writing Hopper, my own Distributed Fuzzer in Golang. I believe it provides a good proof of concept for large-scale Fuzzing operations.<p>Always looking for feedback, so suggestions are welcome!
