Fuzzing Against the Machine

Key FeaturesUnderstand the vulnerability landscape and useful tools such as QEMU and AFLExplore use cases to find vulnerabilities and execute unknown firmwareCreate your own firmware emulation and fuzzing environment to discover vulnerabilitiesWhat you will learnUnderstand the difference between emulation and virtualizationDiscover the importance of emulation and fuzzing in cybersecurityGet to grips with fuzzing an entire operating systemDiscover how to inject a fuzzer into proprietary firmwareKnow the difference between static and dynamic fuzzingLook into combining QEMU with AFL and AFL++Explore Fuzz peripherals such as modemsFind out how to identify vulnerabilities in OpenWrtWho this book is forThis book is for security researchers, security professionals, embedded firmware engineers, and embedded software professionals. Learners interested in emulation, as well as software engineers interested in vulnerability research and exploitation, software testing, and embedded software development will also find it useful. The book assumes basic knowledge of programming (C and Python); operating systems (Linux and macOS); and the use of Linux shell, compilation, and debugging.]]>
