PolyGlot, a fuzzing framework for language processors

A version that supports Aflplusplus and antlr grammar can be found here.

Build

We tested PolyGlot on Ubuntu 18.04.

1. Get the source code: git clone https://github.com/s3team/Polyglot && cd Polyglot
2. Install prerequisite: sudo apt install -y make python g++ bison flex clang-format clang
3. Modify the Makefile to choose the language you want to test
4. Build everything: make
5. The fuzzer is in AFL_replate_mutate/afl-fuzz
6. Use the afl-gcc/afl-g++/afl-clang/afl-clang++ in AFL_replace_mutate to compile the program you want to fuzz.

Config the semantic.json

Before we run the fuzzer, we need to set some values in semantic.json. Here are some important values that you should set:

1. InitFileDir: This should be an absolute path of your init seed file dir. It can be the same as/different from your path of input.
2. BuiltinObjFile: If you want to use the build-in functions/variables/class for semantic validation, set this path (not a single file). Refer to grammar/solidity_grammar/semantic.json for an example.

Run

To run the fuzzer, we just run it like normal afl-fuzz:

afl-fuzz -i path/to/inputs -o path/to/outputs -- prog [args @@]

You should collect your own seed inputs for the fuzzer.
