What is cifuzz

cifuzz is a CLI tool that helps you to integrate and run fuzzing based tests into your project.

Features

• Easily set up, create and run fuzz tests
• Generate coverage reports that can be integrated in your IDE
• (Experimental) support for portable fuzz containers
• Supports multiple programming languages and build systems

Getting started

All you need to get started with fuzzing are these three simple commands:

$ cifuzz init            # initialize your project
$ cifuzz create          # create a simple fuzz test to start from
$ cifuzz run myfuzztest  # run the fuzz test

If you are new to the world of fuzzing, we recommend you to take a look at our Glossary and our example projects.

Read the getting started guide if you just want to learn how to fuzz your applications with cifuzz.

Installation

You can get the latest release from GitHub or by running our install script:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/cifuzz/main/install.sh)"
