[MEDIUM] Summer @ Trail of Bits
This summer I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with Trail of Bits as a high school intern. In return, I am obligated to write a blog post about this internship. So without further ado, here it is.
## Starting with Fuzzing
Loren’s desk and fuzz cluster for the summer
The summer kicked off with fuzzing, a technique I had heard of but had never tried. The general concept is to throw input at a program until it crashes, then analyze the crash to find a vulnerability. Because of time constraints, it didn’t make sense to write my own fuzzer, so I began looking for pre-existing fuzzers online.
The first tool that I found was CERT’s Failure Observation Engine (FOE), which seemed very promising. FOE has many options that allow for precise fine-tuning of the fuzzer, so it can be tweaked
