American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) is an open source fuzzing framework that relies on code instrumentation of a target program to find inputs that will cause the program to take new (and hopefully interesting) code paths. We have applied AFL to a range of Linux filesystem drivers and have quickly found a multitude of new bugs not found with regular ("dumb") fuzzers. Additionally, the testcases found by AFL can be used as a regression test suite that will help increase the confidence that any future change to the filesystem driver does not accidentally introduce bugs.

Through our presentation we share our techniques and tools directly with filesystem developers and make filesystem fuzzing with AFL more accessible to a wider audience. In this way, bugs can be found (and fixed) faster by the people who already know the filesystem code intimately.
