AFL++ Fuzzer

Skill Verified Active

AFL++ is a fork of AFL with better fuzzing performance and advanced features. Use for multi-core fuzzing of C/C++ projects.

Purpose

To guide users on leveraging AFL++ for efficient and advanced fuzzing of C/C++ codebases, offering advantages in performance and multi-core capabilities.

Features

  • Detailed AFL++ installation methods (native, Docker)
  • Guidance on writing effective fuzzing harnesses
  • Multiple compilation modes and sanitizer integration
  • Multi-core fuzzing campaign setup and monitoring
  • Analysis of fuzzing results and coverage

Use Cases

  • Setting up AFL++ for the first time on a C/C++ project
  • Improving fuzzing performance with multi-core execution
  • Troubleshooting common AFL++ issues and low performance
  • Understanding AFL++ output and analyzing found crashes

Non-Goals

  • Providing the AFL++ tool itself; users must install it
  • Writing target code for the user's project
  • Guaranteed bug discovery; success depends on harness quality and target code

Practices

  • Fuzzing methodology
  • Security testing
  • Code coverage analysis

Prerequisites

  • C/C++ compiler (GCC or Clang)
  • Python 3
  • Rust (for some installation methods)
  • Docker (optional, for easier setup)

Installation

First, add the marketplace

/plugin marketplace add trailofbits/skills

MongoDB Connection Optimizer

100

Optimize MongoDB client connection configuration (pools, timeouts, patterns) for any supported driver language. Use this skill when working/updating/reviewing on functions that instantiate or configure a MongoDB client (eg, when calling `connect()`), configuring connection pools, troubleshooting connection errors (ECONNREFUSED, timeouts, pool exhaustion), optimizing performance issues related to connections. This includes scenarios like building serverless functions with MongoDB, creating API endpoints that use MongoDB, optimizing high-traffic MongoDB applications, creating long-running tasks and concurrency, or debugging connection-related failures.
