Jones: system call abuseJones: system call abusePosted Nov 10, 2010 9:22 UTC (Wed) by ballombe (subscriber, #9523)Parent article: Jones: system call abuse I have been using fuzzing to find bugs in a computer algebra system since 2001 (and still does) with much succes. The trick is to generate input that is 90% "garden variety" and 10% "alien" so that it passes most sanity tests. This is very efficient for finding crashes, much less so for other kind of wrong behaviour.
