Seminar • Software Engineering — Expanding the Reach of Fuzzing

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Caroline Lemieux, Department of Computer Science
University of California, Berkeley

Software bugs are pervasive in modern software. As software is integrated into increasingly many aspects of our lives, these bugs have increasingly severe consequences, both from a security (e.g. Cloudbleed, Heartbleed, Shellshock) and cost standpoint. Fuzzing refers to a set of techniques that automatically find bug-triggering inputs by sending many random-looking inputs to the program under test.
