About:
cargo-fuzz is a Cargo subcommand that streamlines the process of fuzz testing Rust code using libFuzzer. It automates the creation and management of fuzz targets, allowing developers to easily find memory bugs, security vulnerabilities, and logic errors. This tool integrates directly into the Cargo workflow, making robust fuzz testing accessible for any Rust project.
Key Features:
  • Initializes new fuzzing projects with necessary boilerplate
  • Automates building and running fuzz targets with libFuzzer
  • Integrates seamlessly as a Cargo subcommand
  • Simplifies reproduction of found crashes
Use Cases:
  • Discovering memory safety bugs and undefined behavior in Rust libraries
  • Testing parsers and input handlers for security vulnerabilities
  • Improving code reliability through continuous automated testing
Alternatives:
  • honggfuzz-rs – Alternative Cargo subcommand that supports multiple fuzzing engines like Honggfuzz and AFL++, offering more engine flexibility.
