A fuzzing setup for JS JIT compilers using a combination of Fuzzilli and AFLplusplus, implemented for the JavaScriptCore (WebKit) engine.
You can use the pre-built docker image hosted on Docker Hub:
docker pull timoludwig/jit-fuzzer
docker run --name jit-fuzzer timoludwig/jit-fuzzer
Clone the repository including its submodules:
Protocol | Command |
---|---|
HTTPS | git clone --recurse-submodules --jobs 3 https://github.com/timoludwig/jit-fuzzer.git |
SSH | git clone --recurse-submodules --jobs 3 git@github.com:timoludwig/jit-fuzzer.git |
Pull new commits including submodules:
git pull
git submodule update --jobs 3
If you want to modify and/or build the project yourself, you have the choice between Docker and a native Linux installation:
Docker | Native Linux | |
---|---|---|
Compile patched versions of Fuzzilli, AFLplusplus and WebKit (this may take a while, even on modern hardware): |
docker build -t jit-fuzzer . |
make |
Generate interesting js samples with Fuzzilli and fuzz their JIT-compiled code in AFL: |
First run (create container from image):
docker run --name jit-fuzzer jit-fuzzerSubsequent runs (start of existing container): docker start jit-fuzzer docker logs -f jit-fuzzer |
./fuzz.sh |
