How we applied fuzzing techniques to cURL
Summary: Trail of Bits was hired by OSTIF to perform a security assessment of cURL and its library, libcurl. They analyzed and improved cURL's fuzzing code, identifying areas lacking coverage and modifying the fuzzing code to hit these missed areas. By setting certain libcurl options and introducing new seed files, they doubled the line coverage of the HSTS handling code and quintupled it for the Alt-Svc header. The team also expanded the set of fuzzed protocols and enabled fuzzing of many new libcurl options.
