# Fuzzing
Fuzz tests generate a ton of random parameter arguments to the program and then validate that none cause it to crash.
Fuzz tests generate a ton of random parameter arguments to the program and then validate that none
cause it to crash.
## How does it work?
Typically, Travis CI will run `travis-fuzz.sh` on one of the environments the automated tests are configured for.
This is the most time-consuming component of the continuous integration workflow, so it is recommended that you detect
issues locally, and Travis merely acts as a sanity check. Fuzzing is further only effective with
a lot of CPU time, indicating that if crash scenarios are discovered on Travis with its low
runtime constraints, the crash is caused relatively easily.

## How do I run fuzz tests locally?
You typically won't need to run the entire combination of different fuzzing tools. For local execution, `honggfuzz`
should be more than sufficient.
We support multiple fuzzing engines such as `honggfuzz`, `libFuzzer` and `AFL`. You typically won't
need to run the entire suite of different fuzzing tools. For local execution, `honggfuzz`should be
more than sufficient.

#### cargo-fuzz / libFuzzer
To run fuzzing using `cargo-fuzz / libFuzzer`, run
```shell
rustup install nightly # Note: libFuzzer requires a nightly version of rust.
cargo +nightly fuzz run --features "libfuzzer_fuzz" msg_ping_target
```
Note: If you encounter a `SIGKILL` during run/build check for OOM in kernel logs and consider
increasing RAM size for VM.
If you wish to just generate fuzzing binary executables for `libFuzzer` and not run them:
```shell
cargo +nightly fuzz build --features "libfuzzer_fuzz" msg_ping_target
# Generates binary artifact in path ./target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/msg_ping_target
# Exact path depends on your system architecture.
```
You can upload the build artifact generated above to `ClusterFuzz` for distributed fuzzing.

Worry not, for this is easily traced.
