Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

29. New directions
Advent is moving forward to the development of HTPEM stacks and systems based on its
proprietary technology
During the past years Advent was mainly an MEA provider with low revenues due to the low
market development of fuel cells and the limited number of MEAs and end users attributed to the
recent development of HTPEM fuel cell technology.
On the development of new HTPEM fuel cell systems Advent will address the final consumer by
controlling the cost throughout the production chain. In this way it will be able to affect and develop
the fuel cell market penetration.
Advent HT PEM technology is combined with fuel processors companies for hydrogen production
forming a state of the art integrated energy system.
The power outputs of the integrated systems will range from 50W to 10kW both for off grid
remote and back-up power applications as well as cost and energy efficient stationary residential
applications.
