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.

security updates and permissions.
Impact on Security: Regularly reviewing third-party integrations can prevent security
breaches and protect users from cyber threats.
Opportunity & Financial Cost of Ignoring
Website Issues
It is important for businesses to regularly assess their performance and security measures and
take proactive steps to mitigate these issues. Conducting regular audits and updates to their
systems can help minimize these risks and ensure smooth operations. Here we have assessed
the major performance and security elements you should consider:
Performance-
Slow Loading Speed:
9. Slow loading speed can lead to a significant loss of potential customers. According to Google,
53% of mobile users will leave a website that takes longer than three seconds to load.
Example: If an eCommerce website earns $10,000 per day and 53% of mobile users leave due
to slow loading speed, the company could potentially lose $5,300 per day, resulting in a
significant loss of revenue.
Poor User Experience:
Poor user experience can lead to decreased customer loyalty and missed opportunities.
According to Adobe, 38% of users will stop engaging with a website if the layout is
unattractive.
Example: If an online retailer has 10,000 visitors per day and 38% of them leave due to poor
user experience, the company could potentially lose 3,800 customers per day, resulting in a
significant loss of revenue.
Mobile Optimization:
Failure to optimize a website for mobile can lead to a significant loss of potential customers.
According to a study by Statista, mobile devices accounted for 54.8% of global website traffic
in 2021.
Example: If a website is not optimized for mobile and receives 100,000 visitors per month, the
company could potentially lose 54,800 visitors, resulting in a significant loss of revenue.
Security
Data Breaches:
Ignoring website security vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches and financial losses.
According to a study by IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2020 was $3.86 million.
Example: In 2017, Equifax suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of 143
million people. The company’s initial estimate of the financial impact was $600 million, which
later rose to $1.4 billion.
Loss of Reputation:
Ignoring website security issues can lead to a loss of trust and reputation. According to a study
by Edelman, 71% of consumers will stop using a brand if they perceive the brand as doing
10. something unethical or illegal.
Example: In 2020, the video-conferencing app Zoom faced criticism for its security
vulnerabilities, which led to a loss of trust and reputation among users and investors.
Legal Liability:
Ignoring website security issues can lead to legal liability and financial losses. According to a
study by Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach involving more than 50,000
records is $6.03 million, with an average cost of $146 per record.
Example: In 2020, the hotel chain Marriott was fined $123 million for a data breach that
exposed the personal information of 339 million guests.
