Re: Questions Regarding Initial Input Seeds Used for Fuzzing Binutils via OSS-Fuzz

[Philippe Antoine]

Hi Federico,

From looking at oss-fuzz file projects/binutils/build.sh

I see that David is maintaining the corpus at https://github.com/DavidKorczynski/binary-samples

They seem to be human made…

There were no seeds in the first oss-fuzz integration cf commit 8fb7e6a4ff7cd1fbf88cdcc6569554911258778a

Tanti auguri,

Philippe

Dear Binutils Team,

I hope this message finds you well. 

My name is Federico Cernera, and I am a PhD student at Sapienza University of Rome, currently collaborating with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. 

I have been exploring the Binutils library and its integration with OSS-Fuzz for fuzzing purposes. 

I have questions regarding the initial input seeds used to fuzz the library and would greatly appreciate your assistance.

1. Are the current initial input seeds used to fuzz the library via OSS-Fuzz human-made, or are they generated due to the fuzzing iterations?
2. Were the initial input seeds used for the first fuzzing campaign with OSS-Fuzz human-made?
3. Can I access the initial input seeds used during the first fuzzing campaign with OSS-Fuzz?

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Federico Cernera
