This workshop will teach you how to discover vulnerabilities using modern fuzzing tools.

You will learn when fuzzing is appropriate, how to select and set up various types of target, and how to use American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) to find flaws in those targets. During the workshop you will rediscover real vulnerabilities in software like OpenSSL, ntp, and sendmail.

Aimed at developers and defenders who want to harden their C/C++ applications, as well as bug-hunting researchers and consultants.

What you need to bring:
- A laptop with a SSH client; you will need a basic level of proficiency with the Linux command line (working with files) and programming in C. You do not need to be an expert in either - AFL will do the hard work for you! No prior knowledge of fuzzing is required.
- If you want to run the exercises locally instead of using the provided cloud instances, you will need a Linux system with either Docker or AFL pre-installed.
