afl-cov-0.6.2 (12/26/2018):
- (Tim Strazzere) Add support for llvm-cov compiled binaries. Add a check
when ensuring the binary was instrumented with gcov to catch an llvm-cov
binary.
- Bug fix for number of args to logr(), found by github user @NimdaKey.
Fixes #38.
- Allow multi-spaces in --coverage-cmd, found by github user
@YourButterfly. Fixes #37.
- Add ToC to README.md.
afl-cov-0.6.1 (11/27/2017):
- (James Steele) Add the '--follow' command line argument which provides an
option identical to that available on lcov that instructs the search for
.da files to follow symlinks (which are not traversed by default).
- Add the '--disable-gcov-check' argument so that the check for whether
the target binary has been compiled with code coverage support can be
disabled.
- (Denis Kasak) Fix incorrect variable name in search_cov.
- Bug fix noted by @umlaeute be more permissive with instrumented binaries
check.
afl-cov-0.6 (06/05/2016):
- (Markus Teufelberger) Add --cover-corpus argument so that code coverage
is measured only after all new AFL test cases are executed. The main
advantage is that code coverage results are produced more quickly in
this mode since AFL can generate test cases - at least initially - much
faster than code coverage can be calculated for each test case. The
trade off in this mode is that code coverage stats are not tracked per
AFL test case, but rather across all new test cases essentially as a
unified set. In --live mode, --cover-corpus causes coverage to be
calculated once per sleep cycle after all test cases have been executed.
In --coverage-at-exit mode, only a single coverage calculation will be
performed just before afl-cov exits.
- In either --cover-corpus or --coverage-at-exit modes, the
cov/id-delta-cov file will contain AFL test case ID ranges for where
coverage is hit. This is necessary because these modes cause afl-cov to
execute a series of AFL test cases (instead of each individual test
case one at a time) before coverage is calculated.
- Add a prerequisite test to make sure the targeted binary is compiled
with code coverage support ('-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage'). This test
can be run by itself with --gcov-check.
- Use the tempfile module for temporary files (suggested by Markus
Teufelberger in issue #19).
afl-cov-0.5 (01/11/2016):
- For --live mode operations, add the same core pattern detection logic to
afl-cov that is implemented by afl-fuzz. This helps to ensure that the
environment in which afl-cov is running is consistent with what afl-fuzz
expects to see.
- Make sure --afl-fuzzing-dir exists in --func-search and --line-search
modes.
afl-cov-0.4 (01/09/2016):
- Add support for parallelized execution runs of AFL. This is done by
tracking all fuzzing directory instances created with afl-fuzz '-M' or
'-S'. These directories are created in the main sync directory
('afl-fuzz -o sync_dir'). The coverage results are calculated globally
across all fuzzing instances.
- Default to not include branch coverage data within code coverage results
This is because AFL commonly build up many hundreds of test cases, and
generating branch coverage across all of these cases may slow afl-cov
down significantly. However, if branch coverage is desired or required,
just add the new --enable-branch-coverage argument.
- Added a test suite in the test/ directory that leverages the python
unittest module. Proper operation of the test suite requires afl-fuzz
to be installed, and tests are performed against a particular commit
(e3ae6747) from the fwknop project for which AFL test cases were
pre-built.
- Bug fix reported by @kcwu about some files not showing up in zero
coverage lcov web reports.
afl-cov-0.3 (06/29/2015):
- Add --background mode to facilitate clean integration with afl-fuzz
wrapper scripts. In this mode, afl-cov will wait for afl-fuzz to start,
produce coverage results while afl-fuzz is running, and then exit
automatically when finished. Here is an example of a wrapper script from
the fwknop project that combines afl-cov in --background mode with
afl-fuzz:
https://github.com/mrash/fwknop/blob/master/test/afl/fuzzing-wrappers/client-rc.sh
- Add fuzzing-dir/cov/afl-cov.log file to track verbose run time
information.
- Add fuzzing-dir/cov/afl-cov-status file to track the current PID, argv,
and afl-cov version.
afl-cov-0.2 (05/28/2015):
- Add the fuzzing-dir/cov/id-delta-cov file which lists all functions and
(and optionally lines) that are executed by the first "id:000000*" test
case, and then lists all new functions/lines executed in subsequent test
cases. In --func-search or --line-search modes, the id-delta-cov file is
parsed directly instead of parsing cov/diff/ file output. Here is an
example of what the contents of this file looks like:
# id:NNNNNN*_file, cycle, src_file, coverage_type, fcn/line
id:000000,orig:access.conf, 0, proj/log_msg.c, function, free_logging()
id:000000,orig:access.conf, 0, proj/log_msg.c, function, init_logging()
id:000000,orig:access.conf, 0, proj/log_msg.c, function, log_msg()
- Replace the fuzzing-dir/cov/zero-cov/ directory with a single file
at the same path fuzzing-dir/cov/zero-cov that lists all
functions/lines that are never executed by any AFL test case.
- Add the fuzzing-dir/cov/pos-cov file that lists all functions/lines
that are executed at least once by an AFL test case.
- Use the 'fuzzer_stats' file for acquiring the afl-fuzz PID in --live
mode. This closes issue #4 on github.
- Default to not preserving all lcov files - just keep the final one that
contains all cumulative coverage results. This behavior can be changed
with the --preserve-all-lcov-files argument.
- Track and display the AFL cycle number for each queue/id:NNNNNN* file.
afl-cov-0.1 (05/09/2015):
- Initial release
