About Echidna
Echidna is a Haskell program designed for fuzzing/property-based testing of Ethereum smart contracts. It uses sophisticated grammar-based fuzzing campaigns based on a contract ABI to falsify user-defined predicates or Solidity assertions. We designed Echidna with modularity in mind, so it can be easily extended to include new mutations or test specific contracts in specific cases. Generates inputs tailored to your actual code. Optional corpus collection, mutation and coverage guidance to find deeper bugs. Powered by Slither to extract useful information before the fuzzing campaign. Source code integration to identify which lines are covered after the fuzzing campaign. Interactive terminal UI, text-only or JSON output. Automatic test case minimization for quick triage. Seamless integration into the development workflow. Maximum gas usage reporting of the fuzzing campaign. Support for a complex contract initialization with Etheno and Truffle.

APIFuzzer
APIFuzzer reads your API description and step-by-step fuzzes the fields to validate if your application can cope with the fuzzed parameters, and it does not require coding. Parse API definition from a local file or remote URL. JSON and YAML file format support. All HTTP methods are supported. Fuzzing of the request body, query string, path parameter, and request header is supported. Relies on random mutations and supports CI integration. Generate JUnit XML test report format. Send a request to an alternative URL. Support HTTP basic auth from the configuration. Save the report of the failed test in JSON format into the pre-configured folder.

LibFuzzer
LibFuzzer is an in-process, coverage-guided, evolutionary fuzzing engine. LibFuzzer is linked with the library under test, and feeds fuzzed inputs to the library via a specific fuzzing entry point (or target function); the fuzzer then tracks which areas of the code are reached, and generates mutations on the corpus of input data in order to maximize the code coverage. The code coverage information for libFuzzer is provided by LLVM’s SanitizerCoverage instrumentation. LibFuzzer is still fully supported in that important bugs will get fixed. The first step in using libFuzzer on a library is to implement a fuzz target, a function that accepts an array of bytes and does something interesting with these bytes using the API under test. Note that this fuzz target does not depend on libFuzzer in any way so it is possible and even desirable to use it with other fuzzing engines like AFL and/or Radamsa.

Solidity Fuzzing Boilerplate
Solidity Fuzzing Boilerplate is a template repository intended to ease fuzzing components of Solidity projects, especially libraries. Write tests once and run them with both Echidna and Foundry's fuzzing. Fuzz components that use incompatible Solidity versions by deploying those into a Ganache instance via Etheno. Use HEVM's FFI cheat code to generate complex fuzzing inputs or to compare outputs with non-EVM executables while doing differential fuzzing. Publish your fuzzing experiments without worrying about licensing by extending the shell script to download specific files. Turn off FFI if you don't intend to make use of shell commands from your Solidity contracts. Note that FFI is slow and should only be used as a workaround. It can be useful for testing against things that are difficult to implement within Solidity and already exist in other languages. Before executing tests of a project that has FFI enabled, be sure to check what commands are actually being executed.

Peach Fuzzer
Peach is a SmartFuzzer that is capable of performing both generation and mutation-based fuzzing. Peach requires the creation of Peach Pit files that define the structure, type information, and relationships in the data to be fuzzed. It additionally allows for the configuration of a fuzzing run including selecting a data transport (publisher), logging interface, etc. Peach has been under active development since 2004 and is in its third major version. Fuzzing continues to be the fastest way to find security issues and test for bugs. Effective hardware fuzzing with Peach will introduce students to the fundamentals of device fuzzing. Peach was designed to fuzz any type of data consumer from servers to embedded devices. Researchers, corporations, and governments already use Peach to find vulnerabilities in hardware. This course will focus on using Peach to target embedded devices and collect information from the device in the event of a crash.
