SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand which parts of your codebase are being executed by your fuzzing harnesses and identify areas that are not being tested, allowing you to improve fuzzing effectiveness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assess Harness Effectiveness: Determine if your fuzzing inputs are reaching critical code paths.
  • Identify Fuzzing Blockers: Detect issues like magic value checks that prevent the fuzzer from progressing.
  • Track Fuzzing Progress: Monitor coverage changes over time as you refine your harnesses and fuzzers.
  • Use Case: After running a fuzzing campaign for several hours, you can use this Skill to generate a coverage report, revealing that only 30% of your target library's functions were executed, prompting you to investigate why the remaining 70% are unreachable.

Quick Start

Use the coverage-analysis skill to build your project with LLVM coverage instrumentation and generate an HTML report for the 'my_fuzzer' target.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze code coverage during a fuzzing campaign?

To analyze code coverage during fuzzing, you need to instrument your codebase using supported toolchains like LLVM/Clang, GCC, or Rust, then execute your fuzzer and generate a report using tools such as `llvm-cov` or `gcovr` to see executed paths.

Why does my fuzzer only reach a small percentage of functions in my target library?

Your fuzzer reaches a small percentage of functions because of fuzzing blockers like magic value checks. Generating a coverage report helps identify these untested areas so you can refine your harnesses to bypass obstacles and improve execution.

Can I use gcovr to generate an HTML report for a GCC fuzzing harness?

Yes, you can use gcovr to generate an HTML report for a GCC fuzzing harness. The coverage-analysis process provides specific commands and step-by-step instructions for instrumenting your code and creating reports with supported tools.

Does coverage analysis support Rust toolchains for fuzzing?

Yes, coverage analysis fully supports Rust toolchains alongside LLVM/Clang and GCC. You can instrument your Rust project to track fuzzing progress and assess harness effectiveness across different execution environments.

What is the best way to track fuzzing progress over time?

The best way to track fuzzing progress is by regularly generating code coverage reports after refining your harnesses. This allows you to monitor coverage changes and identify newly reachable code paths or remaining blockers as your campaign advances.

How do I identify magic value checks blocking my fuzzer?

You identify magic value checks blocking your fuzzer by assessing code coverage data. By analyzing which code paths are not executed, you can pinpoint specific blockers preventing the fuzzer from progressing deeper into the target library.
