Previous chapters took a close look at a wide range of fuzzers. From simple byte-mutating generic file fuzzers to the most currently evolved fuzzing frameworks, fuzzing technologies overcome a number of automated software testing hurdles. In this chapter, we introduce the most advanced forms of fuzzing and the attempts to solve a dilemma common among all fuzzing technologies. Specifically, we tackle the indomitable task of breaking down a protocol into its basic building blocks.
The chapter begins with a discussion of primitive techniques targeted at automating protocol dissection and ...
