# oss-fuzz 

oss-fuzz is an effort to apply coverage-guided software fuzzing on scale to test open source software. It grew out of Chrome in-process fuzzing effort ([Blog Post](https://security.googleblog.com/2016/08/guided-in-process-fuzzing-of-chrome.html), [Project Page](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/testing/libfuzzer/)). 


*Project Status*: The project currently is in early stage. We focus on libFuzzer first. Documentation and smoothing the process is our main priority.

## Documentation

* [New Library Guide](docs/new_library.md) walks through steps necessary to add fuzzers to an open source project.
* [Running and Building Fuzzers](docs/building_running_fuzzers.md) documents the process for fuzzers that are
  *part of target project* source code repository.
* [Running and Building External Fuzzers](docs/building_running_fuzzers_external.md) documents the process for fuzzers that are
  *part of oss-fuzz* source code repository.
* [Project List](docs/projects.md) lists OSS projects integrated with oss-fuzz.
* [Chrome's Efficient Fuzzer Guide](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/testing/libfuzzer/+/HEAD/efficient_fuzzer.md) while contains some chrome-specifics, is an excellent documentation on making your fuzzer better.
