- November 23 2018 : AFLSmart: Smart Greybox Fuzzing has been developed in our team to hunt code vulnerabilities. AFLSmart is good at testing applications for common security flaws, such as buffer overflow errors, that can be targeted by attackers for denial of service or remote code execution exploits. AFLSmart can detect twice as many bugs as AFL over a 24 hour period and since it was put into use fuzzing a handful of open-source software libraries, the software has uncovered a total of 42 zero-day vulnerabilities and has banked 17 CVE-listed holes.
