PAFL: extend fuzzing optimizations of single mode to industrial parallel mode

Jie Liang, Yu Jiang, Yuanliang Chen, Mingzhe Wang, Chijin Zhou, Jiaguang Sun

Abstract

Researchers have proposed many optimizations to improve the efficiency of fuzzing, and most optimized strategies work very well on their targets when running in single mode with instantiating one fuzzer instance. However, in real industrial practice, most fuzzers run in parallel mode with instantiating multiple fuzzer instances, and those optimizations unfortunately fail to maintain the efficiency improvements.
