Angora is a mutation-based coverage guided fuzzer. The main goal of Angora is to increase branch coverage by solving path constraints without symbolic execution.

- Linux-amd64 (Tested on Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 and Debian Buster)
- Rust nightly, can be obtained using rustup
- LLVM 4.0.0 : run
PREFIX=/path-to-install ./build/llvm.sh.
Append the following entries in the shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc).
export PATH=/path-to-clang/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path-to-clang/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The build script will resolve most dependencies and setup the runtime environment.
./build/build.shAs with AFL, system core dumps must be disabled.
echo core | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/core_patternAngora compiles the program into two separate binaries, each with their respective
instrumentation. Using autoconf programs as an example, here are the steps required.
# Use the instrumenting compilers
CC=/path/to/angora/bin/angora-clang \
CXX=/path/to/angora/bin/angora-clang++ \
LD=/path/to/angora/bin/angora-clang \
PREFIX=/path/to/target/directory \
./configure --disable-shared
# Build with taint tracking support
USE_TRACK=1 make -j
make install
# Save the compiled target binary into a new directory
# and rename it with .taint postfix, such as uniq.taint
# Build with light instrumentation support
make clean
USE_FAST=1 make -j
make install
# Save the compiled binary into the directory previously
# created and rename it with .fast postfix, such as uniq.fast
./angora_fuzzer -i input -o output -t path/to/taint/program -- path/to/fast/program [argv]
