To quickly get started fuzzing Dash Core using libFuzzer:
$ git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
$ cd dash/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined
# macOS users: If you have problem with this step then make sure to read "macOS hints for
# libFuzzer" on https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/develop/doc/fuzzing.md#macos-hints-for-libfuzzer
$ make
$ FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz
# abort fuzzing using ctrl-c
process_message
is a fuzzing harness for the ProcessMessage(...)
function (net_processing
). The available fuzzing harnesses are found in src/test/fuzz/
.
The fuzzer will output NEW
every time it has created a test input that covers new areas of the code under test. For more information on how to interpret the fuzzer output, see the libFuzzer documentation.
If you specify a corpus directory then any new coverage increasing inputs will be saved there:

In this case the fuzzer managed to create a block
message which when passed to ProcessMessage(...)
increased coverage.
It is possible to specify dashd
arguments to the fuzz
executable.
Depending on the test, they may be ignored or consumed and alter the behavior
of the test. Just make sure to use double-dash to distinguish them from the
fuzzer's own arguments:

The project's collection of seed corpora is found in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets
repo.

Fuzzing on a harness compiled with --with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined
is good for finding bugs. However, the very slow execution even under libFuzzer will limit the ability to find new coverage. A good approach is to perform occasional long runs without the additional bug-detectors (configure --with-sanitizers=fuzzer
) and then merge new inputs into a corpus as described in the qa-assets repo (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). Patience is useful; even with improved throughput, libFuzzer may need days and 10s of millions of executions to reach deep/hard targets.
cd
into theqa-assets
directory and update it withgit pull qa-assets
- locate the crash case described in the CI output, e.g.
Test unit written to ./crash-1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6
- make sure to compile with all sanitizers, if they are needed (fuzzing runs more slowly with sanitizers enabled, but a crash should be reproducible very quickly from a crash case)
- run the fuzzer with the case number appended to the seed corpus path:
FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6
If you find coverage increasing inputs when fuzzing you are highly encouraged to submit them for inclusion in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets
repo.
Every single pull request submitted against the Dash Core repo is automatically tested against all inputs in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets
repo. Contributing new coverage increasing inputs is an easy way to help make Dash Core more robust.
The default Clang/LLVM version supplied by Apple on macOS does not include
fuzzing libraries, so macOS users will need to install a full version, for
example using brew install llvm
.
Should you run into problems with the address sanitizer, it is possible you
may need to run ./configure
with --disable-asm
to avoid errors
with certain assembly code from Dash Core's code. See developer notes on sanitizers
for more information.
You may also need to take care of giving the correct path for clang
and
clang++
, like CC=/path/to/clang CXX=/path/to/clang++
if the non-systems
clang
does not come first in your path.
Full configure that was tested on macOS with brew
installed llvm
:
./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=fuzzer,address,undefined --disable-asm CC=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++

# will print an error and suggestion if so.

Read the Honggfuzz documentation for more information.
Honggfuzz NetDriver allows for very easy fuzzing of TCP servers such as Dash
Core without having to write any custom fuzzing harness. The dashd
server
process is largely fuzzed without modification.
This makes the fuzzing highly realistic: a bug reachable by the fuzzer is likely also remotely triggerable by an untrusted peer.
