Innovative Scheduling Strategies Improve Fuzzing Efficiency

/ 1 min read

🌀 Innovative Scheduling Strategies Enhance Fuzzing Efficiency for Bug Detection. Researchers explored the concept of “fuzzing at scale,” demonstrating that a well-designed scheduling strategy significantly improves bug detection across multiple programs. By comparing naive and dynamic schedulers, the study found that dynamic schedulers, which allocate fuzzing time based on individual program progress, can lead to a higher total number of bugs found, often surpassing the effectiveness of advanced fuzzers. The research involved fuzzing approximately 5,000 Ubuntu programs, resulting in the identification of 4,908 bugs. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing scheduling methods in large-scale fuzzing efforts to maximize software reliability.
