Pre-fuzzing analysis with Ghidra vs Ida
A greybox fuzzer named BSFuzz was written for the purposes of fuzzing em-bedded systems that do not have source code availability. Detour instrumen-tation is thus used. The fuzzer hooks onto compatible portions of the binary supplied during pre-fuzzing analysis allowing for fuzzing even without sour...
