What is cifuzz

cifuzz is a CLI tool that helps you to integrate and run fuzzing based tests into your project.

Features

• Easily set up, create and run fuzz tests
• Generate coverage reports that can be integrated in your IDE
• Supports multiple programming languages and build systems

Getting started

All you need to get started with fuzzing are these three simple commands:

$ cifuzz init            # initialize your project
$ cifuzz create          # create a simple fuzz test to start from
$ cifuzz run myfuzztest  # run the fuzz test

If you are new to the world of fuzzing, we recommend you to take a look at our Glossary and our example projects.

Read the getting started guide if you just want to learn how to fuzz your applications with cifuzz.
