Which is better? Asking your distant Uncle Barry for the Top10 restaurants in NY or consulting the Michelin Guide? Well, turns out that bug-based fuzzer benchmarking is much like Uncle Barry. Random and noisy. Accepted at #FSE26. Led by Ardi Madadi, @is-eqv.bsky.social, and @nimgnoeseel.bsky.social

🚨 Our amazing #FUZZING'25 keynotes are online! "Constraining Fuzzing without Paying Too Much" by Miryung Kim youtu.be/L90MBb6NLBE "Are you sure you belong in academia?" by Will Wilson youtu.be/qQGuQ_4V6WI // @mboehme.bsky.social, László Szekeres, @rohan.padhye.org, @ruijiemeng.bsky.social

💥 Fuzzing found a crash—but how do we debug it? We present DiffMin, a technique that makes crashing inputs closer to passing ones while keeping the crash. This helps localize and diagnose crashes more precisely. Just accepted to FSE’25 Posters 🎉 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2505.02305 #FSE25 #fuzzing #debugging

A new look! We have created a new version of The Fuzzing Book, based on #JupyterBook, bringing * easier navigation * dark mode * search * mobile layout and lots of other features. Check it out at www.fuzzingbook.org/beta/html/in... Should we continue with this new look? Comments are welcome!

Feature of our #ICLR'25 Spotlight paper, just presented in Singapore. www.mpi-sp.org/81927/news_p...

In today's #AST2025 keynote on our new #Fandango fuzzer, I presented ongoing extensions for protocol fuzzing, oracle checking, coverage guidance, much more. Slides now available: conf.researchr.org/details/ast-...

Our paper "Top Score on the Wrong Exam" paper will be presented at #ISSTA25 🐣 in Trondheim! 📝https://mpi-softsec.github.io/papers/ISSTA25-topscore.pdf 🧑‍💻https://github.com/niklasrisse/TopScoreWrongExam // @nrisse.bsky.social @fuzzing.bsky.social

Can we foresee the unseen in software testing? I’ll share how statistical magic helps us quantify residual risk and make testing results more accountable and reliable✨Thanks for the invite! 🙏 Join my tutorial @ SBST (co-located w/ ICSE) 🖥️ sbft25.github.io 📅 28.04. 14:30 GMT-4 (live on Twitch too)

🎉 Excited to share that my 1st paper at @iclr-conf.bsky.social has been accepted! Big thanks to my awesome colleague @mboehme.bsky.social and the fantastic SoftSec group #MPI. Marcel has shared a great post with a brief explanation of our work—check it out! 🚀 I’ll share a public version soon!
